I'm 5'5 and 120 lbs and had a TT with MR last October 2021. I don't think my results are that great. My PS suggested lipo and also maybe going in and adding stitches transversely in my abdomen. Other opinions? I work out a lot and hate the idea of another long recovery. Would I benefit from a little more lipo and that would be enough?
Answer: Thank you for your question. Thank you for your question. Your PS has given you the option of liposuction with or without tightening of the abdominal wall to improve your appearance. This is not unreasonable, and the answer depends upon the source of you dissatisfaction. If you don’t like the roundness of your lower abdomen, you will have to get that tightened again with additional sutures, as your PS has suggested. Personally, I think you have had a fair degree of improvement in your diastasis. You still have some laxity, but many people feel that a bit of roundness is more feminine, whereas a flat abdomen can appear somewhat masculine. It is a personal preference. You also appear to have a tiny bit of fullness above your incision line. This can be improved with liposuction alone.

Answer: Liposuction after a tummy tuck Thank you for your question. Looking at the photos you have provided I do believe you would benefit from some additional liposuction. Many patients after a tummy tuck request to have some additional liposuction to help contour the mid section. I would suggest speaking to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Post Tummy Tuck Best to go see a surgeon whos work you think is good so that they can examine you and decide if its a fat or skin issue. Not infrequestly patients can have upper abdominal fullness after a tummy tuck due to the limited ability to aggressively liposuction that area during the procedure.

Answer: Abdomen Actually, you got good results with your tummy tuck, especially if you look at your side views. If you have extra fat, liposuction could be helpful.
