I’m 68” and 155 lbs. Would I benefit more from liposuction with or without a tummy tuck? (Photos)

What's clear is that liposuction will benefit you; '360' versus 'hips and abdomen' is just terms that would be clarified in the office. The real question is whether to excise abdominal skin in addition to achieve a smooth and predictable result. This requires an honest, and most importantly, expert opinion, and can not be determined with photographs, at least in your case. The little shadow below your bellybutton suggest a loss of skin elasticity, but may be irrelevant. I can tell you some of my colleagues here in Beverly Hills would also suggest Renuvion/J Plasma to 'tighten' skin. I have and use the device and I can tell you it doesn't tighten skin; it tightens subcutaneous skin ligaments to help scar the skin down - there's a difference. Unfortunately, anyone who's expert body contouring will tell you that you need to be evaluated in person.

Liposuction only removes fat and does not remove skin. You have a little bit of excess skin below the umbilicus and you may benefit from a mini tummy tuck at the time of liposuction. You do not have significant skin to have a full tummy tuck.

Best Wishes,

You don't need a tummy tuck. The lipo with quantum/morpheus is just what the doc ordered and you should see amazing results under local. Be sure to not get general anesthesia if you want the best results.
