I had abdominal lipo back in 1997. The surgeon at the time, said he couldn't remove a lot, or else I would get a dimpled/concave appearance. It made a little bit of a difference,but not as significant as I'd like. I'm currently 5'7 and 125lbs. Now that the dreaded menopause is on me, I feel more insecure with my stomach. From what I see on here, Coolsculpting doesn't seem to be getting the best reviews, although it's heavily promoted. What options are most likely going to achieve the best result.
Answer: Tum.liposuction with the micro canulas can get that tummy looking great. Liposuction is such a great procedure when done under tum. local with the smaller micro canulas which give such great results and you are back to work in 2 days.

Answer: Liposuction candidate Dear kuruka,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination, but based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: I am looking for a procedure to reduce the dreaded pot belly that I have had since I was a kid Because your photos are out of focus it is difficult to assess your skin quality but it would appear that you would be a candidate for secondary, more aggressive liposuction. If you have had a child, there is a good possibility that your lower abdominal bulge is caused by separated abdominal muscles and if this is the case, your abdomen will never be flat until those muscles are brought back together surgically. This can be accomplished with an abdominoplasty. Weight fluctuations and age can also be the cause of some muscle separation. Definitely consider having an in-person consultation with a few board certified plastic surgeons to discuss your options in more detail.

Answer: I am looking for a procedure to reduce the dreaded pot belly that I have had since I was a kid (Photo) Liposuction will allow you to have stubborn fat resistant to exercise and diet removed from unwanted areas and transferred to areas that can benefit from the added volume and will result in a waist as small as possible. Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent as the skill of liposuction rests in removing as much fat as possible while leaving the skin smooth. BodyTite does not remove any fat, but it is capable of producing a 45% contraction in tissues. It can be combined with liposuction to improve contours dramatically. Based upon your uploaded photos, I would recommend that you discuss a short-scar TT during a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. A short-scar tummy tuck is right for patients who have loose skin, residual fat, and drooping muscle tissue in the abdominal area. Ideal patients have to be in general good health and somewhere close to their ideal body weight. A healthy lifestyle is a must, both before and after the procedure. To make sure that the results of the procedure last, many doctors ask that patients maintain a steady body weight for six months prior to the procedure and maintain their weight after the procedure.

Answer: Pot Belly It's a small scar modified ("type 1") tummy tuck. You don't have enough extra skin for traditional ("type 4") abdominoplasty, but have mild abdominal wall bulge. Abdominal wall plication will flatten your belly, through a small low "bikini" extended C-section type scar. Some examples in our tummy tuck gallery. Your bulge is NOT fat, liposuction will NOT help, and even a little liposuction is the wrong approach.
