I am a 34 year old female, and (at the time of this post) 7 months postpartum. I had a csection. I am 5'2 and am still overweight but have started my weight loss (pregnancy weight- 260 to 7 mnths PP- 211) journey. I have a hanging belly aka apron belly. I do not wish for a tummy tuck and looking for something less invasive. Doing so good on my weight loss but the belly is making me feel a bit embarrass.

Answer: Yes but for the optimum results i recommend a Lipoabdominoplasty Thank you so much for your question. Fat can be removed from your waist. However, you have both stretch marks and sagging skin in your lower abdomen. For this reason, fat can be removed from the abdomen with Laser Liposuction or Vaser Liposuction. However, as a surgeon i believe that you cannot achieve a good result after these procedures. Since there will not be enough skin tightening after fat removal, an empty and shriveled appearance will likely to occur. In addition, since fat removal from the abdominal area will cause fibrosis in the subcutaneous tissue, it will also make it difficult to perform this surgery if you want to have tummy tuck surgery later. In my opinion, Lipoabdominoplasty surgery will give you the best result. In this surgery, your excess fat is removed, your abdominal muscles are repaired and tightened, and you get rid of your sagging skin.

Answer: Getting rid of the belly apron The good news is, is that you are on the right track with the weight loss. You are basically at double of what you should weigh for your height. I would seek professional help so that you can lose more weight more effectively. Most likely you will require a tummy tuck at one point or another. Any form of liposuction Will not have any significant effect on your abdominal apron, but reduce it in size. And even with the reduction of the aprons size, you will still have extra skin. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
