I am 5’9 and weigh 211 pounds. I am considering having plastic surgery. I would love to have Smart Lipo because it requires less down time for recovery. I even thought about BBL with fat transfer from my stomach to get a flatter look. I’m fine with the stretch marks I just want to appear slimmer on in the front and sides. What do you suggest?
Answer: SmartLipo Thanks for your question! I don't think that SmartLipo is the right answer for you. Although it has a longer downtime, a tummy tuck is definitely the way to go. Lipo or SmartLipo would leave you with a lot of loose hanging skin. More importantly, before you do anything surgically, I would advise losing a little bit of weight. These photos make you appear as though you carry a fair amount of fat intrabdominally (under the muscle wall). We can't address that with lipo or tummy tuck. I would suggest losing at least 20 lbs before moving forward with surgery. Good luck!

Answer: You have 4 things going on and lipo won't fix 3 of them Good news first: lipo can improve your back and sides to give you a tighter waist and a smoother back. The front has 3 problems that lipo can't fix. First, you've fat deep inside your abdomen called visceral fat which is creating the beer belly shape. This can only be reduced with dieting and weight loss. Second, you've got a large diastasis in the middle from top to bottom. In other words, your six pack is widely separated. This requires a tummy tuck with muscle tightening after you lose weight. Third, you've got loose saggy skin. This also requires a tummy tuck. So do your back and sides with lipo whenever you want, then do a tummy tuck when you've lost weight and you will achieve your goals.

Answer: Yes It is ideal for patients who have specific areas of localized fat deposits and have tried unsuccessfully to eliminate them through diet, exercise and weight loss.

Answer: 2 c-sections? Am I a good candidate for Smart Lipo on the abdomen? (Photos) Many varieties of liposuction are available including ultrasonic, smart lipo, and conventional lipo. Healthy people at their ideal weight should have the best overall recovery from a TT and liposuction, but some of this will depend upon the surgical technique and adherence to postoperative protocols. Liposuction, combined with the standard TT, will allow you to have stubborn fat resistant to exercise and diet removed from unwanted areas. A TT with muscle tightening will create a flat abdomen and would also provide the benefit of placing your incision along the lower pubic region. The TT also creates a more youthful belly button.
