Am I a good candidate for smart lipo? I’m 5’7 and weight 131lbs. (photos)

Nice pooch! Your belly is poking because the abdominal six-pack muscles are widely separated and bulging out. You're not fat and most of what you see isn't fat. There's a small amount on the surface, but the pooch won't go away without a muscle tightening full tummy tuck. I would recommend a combo with lipo for a better overall contoured effect. Nonetheless, lipo alone won't do much more than wrinkle up that pooch. The video will help you understand better.

Even though you might be less than a half hour drive from my office, many experts, myself included offer the ease and convenience of a virtual consultation to answer the rest of your questions about your options. It's a conversation by zoom, skype, email or phone. You could have a complete estimate before the end of today.

Because of excess skin as stretch marks, your skin will not shrink after liposuction and there will be irregularities. Smart lipo is a laser assisted liposuction. The theory is that the heath of the laser would help the skin to shrink. In reality it is not much better than the standard liposuction and most often when you are not a candidate for liposuction, you are not a candidate for laser lipo either. The good news is that you are an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck. A standard abdominoplasty will get read of all your loose skin, tighten you abdominal muscles and the scar will be very low and covered by underwear or bikini. A virtual or in person consultation could confirm these recommendations.
