Thank you for your question and photos. Yes, under general anesthesia, you would be fine to have lipo to multiple areas. For best results for your abdomen, I would recommend a tummy tuck. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon.
Although your back/bra roll/ and waist will get a good result, your arms will not fare well, and your belly will be a disaster. You simply need an abdominoplasty. Contrary to other doctor's recommendations, 'skin tightening' adjuncts to liposuction like radiofrequency or ultrasound have a proven inability to meaningfully tighten skin. Check out the results of surgeons who place tummy tuck scars low and consider an arm lift too.
Dear Redwine29,I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Redwine29I appreciate your concerns and liposuction of your areas of concern can be performed at one sitting. However, it is best to lower your BMI to 30 or below to both attain the best possible result and for safety reasons. 3 to 4 L is the maximum amount of fat that can be aspirated on outpatient basis at one time. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to explore the best options for you. Good luck.
You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods that do very poorly for tightening skin or or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heats the skin with radiofrequency devices such as Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite, and ThermiRF to heat the undersurface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HI-DEF VASER Liposuction and can only be done by a well-trained body contouring specialist. At the same time, fat should be harvested and purified, with PRP and stem cells added, and then injected into muscles, indentations and cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. Overall, you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
Hello and thank you for your question. Based on the photo, Ibelieve you are a better candidate for a tummy tuck, which can also be combined with a 360 liposuction of your abdomen, flanks and back. During tummy tuck,extra skin in the lower half of your abdomen including the stretch marks willbe removed. In addition, typically the fascial laxity/separation of rectimuscles will be taken care of by muscle plication, giving you a flatabdomen. The added liposuction of your hips/flanks will help with creating anatural and aesthetic waistline. Incision can be placed very low to behidden under bikini. With proper surgical technique, belly button can bedesigned to be a true 'innie'. Recovery from tummy tuck is 1-2weeks. Strenuous activity and lifting heavy weights should be avoided 6 weeksto 3 months post op. I would seek consultation with a board-certifiedplastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice.

Under general anesthesia, you should be able to have all areas treated with liposuction. Under local anesthesia with sedation, you might need two sessions. You can have the excess fat removed from your abdomen with liposuction, but will have your best results with a tummy tuck to remove the excess skin and tighten your abdominal muscles.
Given the extent of excess skin and fat, just liposuction is not the best option. High definition VASER liposuction of the arms, back, and thighs is possible. However, you would need an ultra high definition tummy tuck to resolve the fat and skin in your abdominal region. This procedure would comprehensively remove excess skin and fat, as well as tighten the abdominal muscle to create a 'flatter' stomach. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACSRealself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
Thank you for the question and photos and while you can certainly get liposuction ideally with RFAL or Bodytite, there is a limit to the skin tightening that will be accomplished with out formal skin excision that leaves the scars you do not want. Dr Corbin
Hello and thank you for your question! Yes it is possible to perform liposuction to remove excess fat and fix the appendectomy scar at the same time. Liposuction can also release the scar tissue beneath the scar creating a smoother appearance and improved contour of your abdomen. I recommend...
Thanks for the question. In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour. Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and ...
