I am a 29 year old mom of three. I am 5'2" and currently 136 lbs, my waist 37" presently. I have a 5 week old son and normally are 128-130 lbs. I have a lot of stretch marks and loose skin below belly button and stretch marks along the sides. My belly button is also misshapen. I want a flatter more contoured stomach to match my active lifestyle. I am OK with living with stretch marks and am more concerned with how I look in clothing versus naked or in a bikini. Will a reputable doctor do lipo?

Answer: LipoSuction and Tummy Tuck for mommy makeover
You will not be satisfied with liposuction only to contour you belly. After 3 pregnancies, your abdominal wall is strectched out, the sit-up muscles are likely seperated and the bulging you see is NOT just extra fat. A tummy tuck in addition to lipo-contouring will give you the best result:
Flat tummy and better belly button shape
Gets rid of many stretch marks and extra roll of skin that you see when you sit
Realigns the muscles, which may also help your core feel stronger - a real bonus when you have an active lifestsyle!
Simultaneous liposuction will shape your hips and waist for a really smooth look
Still too early to do this, though. Wait at least 3 months to allow your body to recover forn delivery and to get back to your pre-pregnancy weight. Remember to choose a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Good luck!

Answer: You need a tummy tuck
Greetings,
You're a perfect candidate for a tummy tuck. Your photos reveals looseness of the abdominal wall muscles, excess skin and fat, and stretch marks. Liposuction would ultimately give you the appearance of having more loose skin and a residual abdominal bulge.
Let's face it: if every patient had a choice, they would avoud the incisions and downtime associated with a tummy tuck. That being said, for your constellation of physical findings, it will certainly give you the best results.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.
