I'm 38 years old 5.2" and 98-100 lbs fluctuating daily. I have loose skin above the c-section area with collective fat. I want to find out best none to least invasive options for fat transfer to breast and tummy tuck. Who do I go to and what I can get done for permanent results. I'm going to work on my diet after the makeover. The problem is I feel like my pelvic muscles are loose. I want back fat and underarms fat removed too with up a cup.

Answer: Fat Fat transfers are not always permanent, especially with more weight loss. For excess abdominal skin below the umbilicus, you can have a mini tuck or try minimally invasive skin tightening with radiofrequency like ThermiTight. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your options.

Answer: Tummy tuck, Liposuction and fat transfer The procedures you mentioned are invasive surgical procedures. Especially the tummy tuck. There is no non-invasive way to properly treat abdominal skin laxity or muscle separation from previous pregnancies. treating pregnancy related changes typically requires a full tummy tuck and that is a fully invasive big operation that takes two full weeks to recover from. Liposuction and fat transfer can be done as an outpatient procedure and recovery from these procedures is much easier. Patients may feel sore for a few days up to a couple of weeks but are generally not limited from doing daily activities for more than a couple of days. A full tummy tuck on the other hand requires two full weeks off work. To get a proper assessment and better understanding of various treat options I suggest scheduling multiple in person consultations with local board certified plastic surgeons in your community. Delivering consistent quality Liposuction and fat transfer results is more difficult than most people believe and there is a great variance among different providers. Patient’s interested in these procedures should carefully vet providers by asking providers to show their entire collection of before and after pictures during in person consultations. Seeing a handful of preselected pictures is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results will look like. Patient’s need to look out for their own best interest and she is the most talented and experience providers for these procedures. Breast fat transfer is quite limited in what it can deliver. It is not a good procedure to change the shape of the breast and it will increase the breast volume by only a modest amount. Patients can expect 1/2 to maximum 1 cup breast cup increase. In reality most patients get about 1/2 cup. The procedure does not change the shape of the breast so if someone has great looking breasts that are just slightly too small than fat transfer may be a good option. Often women need to reshape the breast to get a better look and it’s often includes other procedures like a breast lift. Again I suggest having multiple in person consultations to get accurate assessments and better understanding of various treatment options. There are no non-surgical or non-invasive options that deliver quality long-term results for body contouring. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
