I am 24 years old, 5'6, 160 lbs, and had a baby 6 months ago. I reached 218 lbs during my pregnancy and have alot of stretch marks on my stomache, as well it hangs. I am planning to have laser lipo in November and I am wondering what will my stretch marks look like after. Will my belly still hang or is it just like that from the weight of the fat. Please note that my belly has always been large. I am not willing to have a tummy tuck. Thanks

Answer: Laser lipo or any liposuction unlikely to achieve what you need.
Dear Slimsoon
You may have been over promised on the liposuction. The stretch marks will not go away with the liposuction, laser or otherwise. The photo demonstrates profound skin laxity contributing the folding over of the skin at the bottom of the tummy known medically by the term panniculus. Liposuction will reduce the overall shape and fullness of the stomach and can be associated with a degree of skin contraction. There is no evidence that this type of skin contraction is more dramatic with a laser lipo over a conventional liposuction. Also when surgeons discuss this, it is possible to be mislead by the degree of improvement. In your case, you will have some improvement but it is unrealistic to expect the panniculus to resolve. However, a prior liposuction does not prevent you from getting a tummy tuck at a later date if you decide you want further improvement.
