Answer: Being a candidate for Liposuction You are not a particularly good candidate for Liposuction. The main reason for this is that your problem is not related to excess subcutaneous fat. To choose the correct procedure your first if I have a clear understanding of what the problem is. There are four variables that determine what someone’s abdomen looks like. In other words, if somebody doesn’t like the way that her belly looks it is always because of one or more of four different variables. Since each variable has different ways of being treated, it’s important to understand what the primary, secondary and tertiary variables are in order to be treating the actual problem. The four variables that determine what the abdomen looks like our abdominal skin laxity typically due to previous pregnancies or significant weight loss. The second variable is excessive amounts of subcutaneous fat. This is the fat layer between the skin and your muscle. The third variable is muscle, separation from previous pregnancies, causing the abdominal wall to bulge, or give you a pregnant appearance. The force variable is excess visceral or intra-abdominal fat, which is fat around your internal organs. This kind of fat cannot be removed with a surgical procedure, and can only be reduced with weight loss. In my opinion, you have all four of these. The number one issue is most likely muscle separation from your four previous pregnancies. The second most important variable is most likely skin laxity or excess visceral fat. What are you do have some access subcutaneous fat it is not the primary reason for your abdomen looking the way it does. Most of the problems regarding the appearance of your abdomen I related to your previous pregnancies and pregnancies do not change fat distribution. Pregnancies typically create abdominal, skit Laxity and muscle separation. Liposuction will not have much impact. I’m guessing you’re subcutaneous fat layer is about 2 inches thick and if you have half of the fat removed it’ll bring in your abdomen by 1 inch. Well 1 inch is still some impact it is not significant enough to give you an impressive outcome. The correct approach in your case is successful weight loss, followed by a full tummy tuck. Nobody wants to have a tell me a joke, and certainly nobody needs to have a tummy tuck. It is, however the correct procedure to treat. Pregnancy related changes, especially skin, Laxcity and muscle separation. I suggest having a few in person, consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons to get a better assessment and better understanding of various treatment options. I recommend you do not schedule Liposuction. I think it will leave you disappointed. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
