I want lipo on my stomach and love handles. Can I get it done without a tummy tuck. I have quite a bit of loose skin and stretch marks which don't bother me. Will it look much worse without tt?

Answer: Liposuction for patients with abdominal skin laxity #plasticsurgery I think a reasonable plan is to undergo tumescent liposuction of the abdomen, waist and hips. You will likely have some skin laxity and irregularity due to your poor skin quality. If this result displeased you in the future, you can always have a tummy tuck, which you appear to be an ideal candidate for.

Answer: Liposuction Results Hello,The ideal candidate for lipo has tight, thick skin so that the results appear smooth. Skin that has been permanently overexpanded has lost both intra-dermal elasticity as well as relaxed attachments to deeper tissue. The results may not be as smooth or predictable. Liposuction can be performed knowing you are not the ideal candidate and that irregularities, waviness, or wrinkling may be your outcome. A lifeboat would be a subsequent tummy tuck to fix those problems, however.Best of luck!
