My goal is to have my waist noticeably smaller than my hips. Which procedure would be best to accomplish that? Lipo or a tummy tuck. I am a mother of 2, but my stomach has always protruded out like in the pictures.

Answer: Tummy tuck From your photo it appears you have abdominal wall laxity that is contributing to the round appearance of your tummy. A standard tummy tuck will address this as well as remove excess skin. The result will be a flatter, tighter appearing tummy. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Protruding Stomach Hi Tasteful553013, Stomach protrusion can be caused by weakened abdominal muscles, especially after pregnancy, visceral fat, and/or a combination of the two. A consultation or exam is best needed to assess your current condition. However, based upon pictures alone it does appear you have a significant amount of abdominal wall laxity that is often best treated with a muscle repair during a tummy tuck. Again, formal consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would be needed to better assess your needs. Dr. Andre P. MarshallDouble Board Certified Plastic SurgeonBeverly Hills, CA 90210
