I have always had what I call a “baby roll” below my breasts (even when I was 20lbs lighter ). I’ve tried to Google and only see that this can be caused by a rib flare. I’ve had two consultations and one dr said it was skin and would need to be excised while another said lipo would work. Tired of always having to hide it and limit what I wear.
Answer: Rib roll Thanks for your inquiry! From the photos sent, it is hard to tell how much of the area is fat or rib.

Answer: Liposuction vs. Abdominoplasty Liposuction may be able to make this area less noticeable. However, the adhesion below the ribs will always be there unless surgically released. This would likely best be done during an abdominoplasty to undermine this skin. A reverse abdominoplasty can also be done, however the scar is less favorable.

Answer: Baby roll An examination is needed to determine if the area that concerns you is excess skin or fat. If it is fat, liposuction should improve it. J-Plasma could be added if there is minor skin laxity. If it is primarily excess skin and not fat, then excision would be the recommendation to improve the contour.

Answer: A role under the breasts Very likely that role is skin in nature. Liposuction should be an initial treatment. Addition of skin fixation within the inframammary fold (like upper abdominoplasty?) should be considered as well. Good luck.
