I have stubborn fat around my midsection. I am not obese or overweight. However, I do have stretch marks on my flank and around my back, in areas that need to be liposuctioned. The "muffin top" is really around my back. I am already planning a tummy tuck. Can tummy tucks fix this problem too? What other procedures reduce back fat that has slightly loose skin and stretch marks?
Answer: Liposuction & Stretch Marks Thank for your question. One option you might want to consider is SmartLipo. SmartLipo is a variation of the traditional liposuction procedure that can improve results for many people including an added benefit of skin tightening vs traditional liposuction. SmartLipo can also help shorten liposuction recovery times and reduce liposuction risks. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.

Answer: Stretch Marks and Liposuction Depending on how much liposuction will be done on the flank and hip (so called "muffin top" areas) there will not be much change to the stretch marks usually. Some narrowing and deepening of the stretch marks may occur if there is a substantial amount of fat removal in these areas, but may not be avoidable in order to have the best reshaping result. Stretch marks are actually a form of scarring and some of our Tumescent Liposculpture patients do wish to have the stretch marks look less noticeable as well. We have several laser based treatment options to improve stretch marks whether they are new or have been present for years.
