I had a full tummy tuck 2 years ago, was happy with the results but I carry fat around my middle. Above my belly bottom particularly. I have no waist line so wondered if I had lipo of flanks and upper abdomen would it give me a better shape or would it leave me with more loose skin. Or would a fleur de lis and lipo give me a better overall shape. I know scarring would be worse but my tummy is pretty scared already. I want to lose weight (5kg) prior to any surgery which is likely 5 months away.

Answer: Liposuction versus fleur de lis Based on your pictures, I would recommend liposuction. Liposuction should be able to improve the contour of your upper abdomen and flanks. You may have some skin laxity after liposuction depending on your age and the quality and elasticity of your skin. A compression garment would be critical for you to achieve the best outcome after liposuction. I would avoid a fleur de lis abdominoplasty for you if possible. You do have scars on your abdomen but most of those can be hidden under a two-piece swimming suit or underwear. You will not be able to hide the scar from a fleur de lis. I hope this helps a little. Good luck with your procedure.

Answer: Post TT Hello and thank you for your question. Based on the photos you have submitted I believe liposuction would be a good option to further contour the areas of fullness. I would speak to a plastic surgeon regarding the likely outcome. Best wishes
