37, 2 C-sections - Do I need Liposuction or Tummy Tuck? (Photos)

Hi This is Dr Özge,
After seeing your photos, I have determined that you have significant skin excess (laxity) below your belly button due to your previous births.
This condition is beyond the capacity of skin tightening methods such as liposuction combined with J Plasma. Considering your current body type and skin quality, you are an ideal candidate for a Full Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck).
Our proposed comprehensive body contouring plan involves the following steps:
1. Liposuction of the Entire Waist Area: We will perform liposuction on the entire waist area, including the flanks, to slim the torso and achieve better overall body proportions, complementing the tummy tuck result.
2. Diastasis Recti Repair (Muscle Tightening): We will surgically repair the separation of your abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) caused by pregnancy, effectively creating an internal corset. This step is crucial for flattening the abdomen and restoring the integrity of your core.
3. Full Abdominoplasty: Finally, we will excise the excess, stretched, and lax skin below the naval, tightening the remaining abdominal skin to achieve a smooth and dramatic abdominal contour.
This combined procedure will provide the most effective and long-lasting solution for your post-pregnancy body changes.

Thank you for your photos. Your photos demonstrate some stretch marks in your skin, indicating loss of elasticity,as well as some rounding of your upper abdomen and redundant skin below your belly button. Liposuction alone would thin your tissues, but your skin would still be loose/redundant and your upper abdominal fullness would still be present. If you commit to a procedure to rejuvenate your abdomen, it makes the most sense to do what would give you the absolute best result at one time. I believe this would be a full tummy tuck, repair of your muscle separation and some contouring liposuction. This would flatten your tummy, remove your redundant skin and thin your tissues to give you a better contoured abdomen and waistline. See a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss this in detail. Best wishes.
