Question

Have been to 2 doctors . One recommends me lipo . He said it will give me great results . The other one said I am very on the middle for both . And suggested a tummy tuck with the T scar since I don’t have enough skin . Will only lipo give me a small waist ?

Thank you for your question about achieving a smaller waist with liposuction. Based on your history and pictures, aggressive liposuction seems a great solution for you. Don't forget, after the procedure. Wearing a compression garment for about 6-8 weeks and considering regular lymphatic massage is important. If you were over 50 and had stretch marks, a tummy tuck might be a better fit, but as you didn't mention your age, I'd say liposuction could be your best bet. I hope this helps and wish you the best of luck on your journey.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Thank you for your question.  I think the best procedure for you would be a tummy tuck.  This will allow your Surgeon to tighten the abdominal wall muscles and reduce down the flank area.  Along with a low carb diet and exercise which will help reduce the intra abdominal fat.   Liposuction is a good option but won't give you the flattest belly because of the diastasis you have of the abdominal wall muscles.  I would suggest speaking with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options.  Best of luck to you.

Dear Joyce_angel1, thank you for sharing your question. After analyzing your case I can say you're a good candidate for Lipo in your flanks and back + Mini Tummy Tuck and Ultrasound guide BBL, this will give you amazing results. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Thank you for your question. Based on the picture you appear to be candidate for intense liposuction in your belly and waist to provide you better body contour and slim waist. Also I would recommend the skin tightening treatment to improve the skin quality.

I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Dear Joyce_angel1,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photo, it looks like you would benefit from liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
