Do I need a procedure to fix this? Would laser lipo be effective?

Question

Im 21 years old I gained 3 stone whilst pregnant and I'm nearly back to my pre pregnancy weight which has taken a while. I have been left with a saggy skin on my stomach and an awful tummy button. I have started going to the gym just wondering if it will go eventually or do I need some sort of procedure to fix it. I currently weigh 9st 6lbs

Thanks for the question and congrats on the baby,  you could likely make an improvement with extreme exercise but liposuction would definitely help facilitate the process faster for you

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You are a great candidate for a body shaping procedure with fat removal and skin tightening.  You have enough good muscle tone, shape and only minimal loose skin that a defining type liposuction procedure would be best.  You should see a specialist whos practice is dedicated to these types of procedures.  Do not compromise your care for cost or distance.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi, thanks for posting your pictures, you have done a good job getting your goal weight back on track. My honest opinion is that there is not a technique so far that would help you get rid of your extra skin but the Tummy tuck. A tummy tuck not only re-sects the sagging skin, also would repair your abdominal muscle wall, making it tighter and flatter, your waist will get slimmer and your belly button will look younger and more attractive. The incision would be placed as low as possible so it could be easily hidden with your underwear or bikini. Please have an in person consultation so you can discuss thoroughly your concerns, options and expectations. Make sure that you and your Surgeon are on the same page. Good Luck in your PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-Leon

Although, laser lipo will reduce the abdominal fat, it will not address the loose skin.  I believe you would be happier with the results of a tummy tuck along with some liposuction than with laser lipo alone.  Best wishes, Dr Lepore.
