I am interested in getting liposuction for my back and belly with some body contouring but based on my photos would a tummy tuck with lipo be a better option? I want to have children in the future so i don't want to run into complications later in life from having a previous tummy tuck. What would be a good idea?
Answer: Can I just do liposuction or do I need tummy tuck ? Thank you for your question and photos. In my opinion, there are multiple options. Yes, you can do liposuction 360 degrees and improve your overall shape and contour, but you will end up with significant amount of loose skin in the upper and lower abdomen and pubic area. Only a non-surgeon believes that this can be tightened up by a magic "wand". I use Renuvion for skin tightening, but I would not have you waste money on it. If you are not planning to have another child in the near future, your best results would be from a lipoabdominoplasty and circumferential liposuction. So, you have to decide not to do anything until you deliver another child, live with loose skin or have an hourglass figure. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Answer: Amazing Liposuction Candidate! 000Aloo00 Thank you for your photos! Excellent questions as well. If you are thinking of starting a family in the future, liposuction may be a better route to go. Tummy tuck still is an option however, most women in a committed relationship typically wait until they’re certain they’re done having children before opting for a tummy tuck. In you case there seems to be excess fat around the waist/flanks and abdomen. Women commonly opt for liposuction in areas such as the he stomach and love handles which are popular areas for treatment. If you want improvement now before starting a family, liposuction is an option!

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear 000Aloo00, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Combination of Vaserlipo, Renuvion J plasma and Mini Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. Your abdomen has fat. The lower abdominal skin is very loose. After liposuction, there will most likely be skin laxity in the upper abdomen and excess skin in the lower abdomen. I do not recommend tummy tuck if you are going to give birth in the future because you will probably need Tummy Tuck surgery again after giving birth. If you do not want to have a tummy tuck again and again, I recommend you to consider tummy tuck after delivery. What can be done for now? In my opinion, you will be happy to do Vaserlipo to the whole abdomen and Renuvion J plasma for skin tightening in the upper abdomen and Mini Tummy Tuck for excess skin in the lower abdomen.

Answer: Liposuction or tummy tuck From the submitted photos you will have the best results from a tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring. This will address excess fat and skin. Liposuction alone may leave you with too much skin laxity. If you are planning children soon it is best to wait until after you have completed your family to consider the tummy tuck. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Liposuction with or without I highly recommend choosing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for your procedure to achieve optimal results. It is recommended that you have children first but if that’s 5 years or more down the road,, go ahead and get the lipo. I recommend Vaser liposuction to help tighten the skin in the areas being liposuctioned. You could add a mini Abdominoplasty as well to remove the excess skin from the abdomen, it would not effect your ability to conceive but would possibly need revised after childbirth. If you would like to be seen by my office for a consultation, feel free to reach out. Smith Plastic Surgery 702-838-2455
