I've always been super insecure about my stomach area. I'm 31 years old, 5ft 1in tall and about 170lbs. I'm currently in the process of working on losing weight. I've always been interested in getting liposuction to my stomach and chin. I have had no children but I've always had this hangover on my lower abdomen since I can remember. Would liposuction help as I'm not looking to remove extra skin, or would a tummy tuck be more beneficial? Thank you
Answer: Liposuction or tummy tuck? Thank you for your question and pictures.

Answer: Lipoabdominoplasty Hello. According to the photos you have excess skin on lower abdomen and also fat depositions on sides and upper abdomen. In my opinion the best way to give you a good result is a lipoabdominoplasty surgery. Otherwise with only liposuction you can get rid of most of your fat but probably you will have contour irregularities especially on lower abdominal area. Also waist definition can be better with lipoabdominoplasty. Good luck.

Answer: Tummy tuck It looks like you have some stretch marks on your mid-section. This may be an indication that you have loose skin. As a result, a tummy tuck would be recommended to get rid of the “hangover” on your lower abdomen. If you are only concerned about this area, a mini tummy tuck may be sufficient. Liposuction can be performed at the same time to improve your results if needed.

Answer: Body contouring I think that taking the first step of losing weight is exactly the right idea. I would urge you to get down to your ideal weight for your height before making any decisions. A recommendation today based on your weight would be vastly different than a recommendation once you have reached your ideal weight. Reaching your ideal weight will not only give the opportunity for the best result possible, but also allow for a much safer procedure. Good luck and congrats on losing weight.

Answer: Considering procedures From your photos it appears you would have the best result from a tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring. This would remove excess fat and skin as well as repair any abdominal wall laxity. As you mentioned that you intend to lose weight, it is best if you complete your goal prior to surgery. This will allow your surgeon to optimize your results. You can consider liposuction to address the area under your chin. You may be a candidate for Kybella, which is a nonsurgical option to address the chin.
