Can I have liposuction without Tummy Tuck? (Photo)

Liposuction is a fat removal and sculpting procedure, with liposuction excess fat can be removed, while with Tummy Tuck excess skin and muscle reconstruction can be addressed

Thank you for your question. The best procedure would be a tummy tuck. It will allow your Surgeon to tighten up the abdominal wall muscles, which is what is partially causing the belly to stick out the way it is. It will also allow your Surgeon to remove the extra skin you may have after that. Liposuction will help contour the mid section area and reducing you down by a few inches. A low carb diet and exercise will help break down any intra abdominal fat, which is the fat under the abdominal wall muscles. I would suggest seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options. Best of luck to you.

Thank you for your question.
Based on the photos provided, you may not appreciate the aesthetic of your abdomen with liposuction alone. While the procedure does a great job at eliminating unwanted fat, you will be left with excess skin. You may benefit from a mini abdominoplasty due to this fact. In my experience, I liposuction the flanks region at the time of an abdominoplasty in order to provide patients with an hour glass figure. I recommend speaking with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and for a thorough evaluation.
