Answer: Choosing Between Liposuction and Tummy Tuck Thank you for seeking advice regarding your options for addressing excess weight in your abdominal area. Based on the information you have provided and the photos you have shared, it seems that liposuction may be a viable solution to reduce excess fat. However, it may not be the best option if you also have loose skin or muscle laxity, which can occur following significant weight loss or pregnancy.

Answer: Not for weight loss Liposuction and a tummy tuck can only remove the fat that is located just below your skin. It can’t remove the fat located around your internal organs. Your plastic surgeon would first have to determine how much fat is located below your skin, then can let you know if you would be a suitable candidate. If most of your fat is located around your internal organs, then only a healthy diet and exercise regimen can help.

Answer: Considering options When considering elective plastic surgery it is best if a patient has a BMI of 30 or under. Those above this threshold have a higher risk of complications such as poor wound healing, seroma and infection. Lowering your BMI will also allow your surgeon to maximize your results. Once you are ready for surgery your photos indicate you would benefit from a tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring. This is not a weight loss surgery, and in fact patients typically only a few pounds. It is a contouring surgery that can really help to define your natural curves.

Answer: BMI to high for tummy tuck At 5'3 and 13 stones, your BMI is 35 which puts you at high risk for complications. You can undergo liposuction first. 10 lbs can be removed safely and the session can be repeated if necessary. Once, you get your BMI down to 32 or lower, then you can consider a tummy tuck. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.
