Lipo without tummy tuck? (photos)

Thank you for your question. If you opt to perform the liposuction only you won't get a good results than combining lipo with full tummy tuck with muscle repair. I would recommend you to be treated by board certified PS with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

I wouldnt do your stomach without skin removal its just not going to give you the type of result you will want in my opinion (see my IG).  Best, Dr. Emer.

You can certainly get lipo of your stomach and love handles. However, you already have loose skin and this will increase this some. Tummy tuck would make the bigger difference, but you could reserve that for the future. Good luck.

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.

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!

Thank you for your question and photo. Based on the frontal view photo, your abdomen and waist/hips can be sculpted with VASER liposuction. You also have thin skin with lots of stretch marks and looseness already. The VASER will tighten it up slightly, but without a tummy tuck at the same time your results will be less than optimal. See a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person consultation/evaluation to discuss your best option for you. Good luck.

You appear slim and the main issue is the skin laxity and stretch marks.  Liposuction won't be very helpful here as you will have more irregular skin and only improve the small amount of subcutaneous fat you do have.  A tummy tuck is the better overall option.The 'love handles' can be treated with liposuction alone but there doesn't look like much fat there either, and with a tummy tuck that area can be liposuctioned at the same time.  Good luck!

I reviewed your photos and you are not fat. Your skin above your belly button looks great. It looks like you have some loose muscles causing your lower abdomen to bulge out a bit and loose skin, which is what stretch marks are indicative of. Liposuction will not make you look better and may make your skin look worse.If you are finished having children, you would probably benefit the most from a tummy tuck. If you are not, I would hold off of any procedure until you are. I would recommend meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon for an examination and consultation to review the best options for you. Best of luck!

Hello, and thank you for your question. As a general rule I do not believe he would get significant improvement with liposuction alone. You have stated that you have both loose skin and stretch marks which generally do not do well with a limited liposuction procedure. More than likely he would need abdominoplasty. I would recommend you discuss this with him in person consultation and a physical exam to discuss this with a qualified board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Best of luck.

Hello dear, thanks for your post. Liposuction is a procedure which removes fat from the body. It is one of the most popular procedures in the field of plastic surgery because of its simplicity and effectiveness. There are many different techniques and methods for liposuction, which can be performed on many areas of the body.You are a candidate if you have excessive subcutaneous fat, which is resistant to diet and exercise. If you wish to change the contours of your body. Most patients are near normal weight and desire permanent contour changes. Patients with average weight, localized fat collections, and healthy elastic skin are the best candidates for liposuction. Ideal liposuction candidates are:Adults within 30% of their ideal weight who have firm, elastic skin and good muscle toneHealthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healingNon-smokersIndividuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for body contouringIf you are bothered by excess fat deposits located anywhere on your body that don’t respond to diet or exercise, liposuction may be right for you.I suggest to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon for a person evaluation and to talk about your goals, because based on your photos what I see is that you need yo combine a tummy tuck with liposuction because the amount of the extra skin, if you just have the liposuction then your skin will sag and you won't be happy with the results.Good luck :)
