Would I need to do lipo on my sides ?
Answer: If I get lipo on my abdomen only will my waist have a good shape after? Thank you for your question. The ideal liposuction candidate has localized fat deposits and quality overlying skin without significant excess skin or skin damage. Based on your photo you appear to be a good candidate for a Tummy tuck procedure. Tummy tuck, also know as abdominoplasty, is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and to restore the weakened abdominal wall, giving a firmer and smoother appearance. We nearly always add liposuction to our tummy tucks to sculpt the body 360 degrees to achieve an ideal feminine figure. Tummy tuck is a very powerful technique in the right hands, and can have dramatic results if done correctly. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Answer: Liposuction Thank you for your question. After looking at your pictures I would recommend liposuction of the abdomen and flanks. When these to areas are done together they tend to contour the midsection very nicely. If it is coming down to a financial decision, I always tell my patients to start with the area that bothers them the most. I would recommend an in person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to be evaluated and see what the recommendation is. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Liposuction of the full abdomen and sides looks so much better than lipo of the abdomen alone. You should always get liposuction of the sides when doing the abdomen since it all blends together nicely and really makes the waistline look so much better.

Answer: #lipoAbdomen Your photo shows a lot of stretchmarks around and below the belly button and a small hanging pouch of skin and fat. Although it does not look like you need lipo on the sides I don't believe liposuction alone will result in shrinking of the skin below the level of the belly button. When the skin has this many stretchmarks it has lost its elasticity. Liposuction alone would empty the pouch but it would still be there. For an optimal result you will need liposuction + removal of the excess skin.I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship in order to know if this assessment is valid.

Answer: Liposuction candidate Dear Marlynn26,based on your photo, it looks like you have some loose skin so you might be a candidate for a tummy tuck and 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
