Should I do lipo light? (Photo)

Question

I had a c section 3 months ago should I do lipo light

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest seeing a body contouring physician.  You will not get a good result with liposuction alone and need skin removal to get an improved body shape and fat reduction.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It's probably too early three months after C-section have liposuction of any kind. The photograph is not enough to adequately assess your specific situation. Depending on your expectations of the procedure liposuction might be disappointing. Laser assisted liposuction will not correct skin that is in surplus.

Deborah Sillins, MD · Answer

From your photos you need a full tummy tuck to address the excess skin and fat. You most lightly need muscle tightening as well.

Thank you very much for your question.Based on the picture, it is difficult to make an assessment.The bigger question is what you are actually trying to achieve with surgery.  I recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals, and they will recommend a surgery that can meet them.  Best of luck!

Marc J. Salzman, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

By the term lipo light, I'm assuming you're talking about some type of laser liposuction. From the photos you have included, it would be my opinion that a tummy tuck to address the laxity of the overlying skin would better treat your condition. Only an exam by a qualified plastic surgeon can best determine what the options would be for you. If there is a fair amount of fat below the belly muscles, then some weight loss prior to a tummy tuck would improve the results. Good luck.
