Based on your picture, you may be a candidate for a staged procedure. The first may consists of a full abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with muscle plication if your muscles are loose and contributing to the appearance of your protruding abdomen. 6-12 months later you may benefit from having strategic liposuction of your abdomen, flanks, upper/middle/lower back, and other areas of concern.A virtual or in person consultation with a Tummy Tuck specialist will provide you an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Hi there, thanks for your question! Based on your photo I think you would be a better candidate for a tummy tuck. If you do the 360 lipo you will likely be left with skin laxity.I reccomend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss. Hope that helps!
Dear Virginian, Thanks for posting your picture, though addition side view picture would have been helpful. From observing your picture, you appear to have skin and abdominal muscles laxity from the chest bone to the pubic bone. Such anatomy will benefit from standard Tummy tuck surgery, which will flatten your stomach, narrow your waist, improve your posture and most likely will help you to lose weight due to the abdominal muscles tightening that will reduce the amount of food that you can eat and your sense of hunger. Liposuction will just remove fat without the additional benefits mentioned above. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after picture of tummy tuck in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive. Best of luck, Dr Widder widderplasticsurgery.com
