Would lipo, CoolSculpting, RF, or something else get rid of this little extra fat? Don't want a Tummy Tuck (photos)

Question

I had a baby recently and c section. My skin has no stretch marks and is m ostly firm again after losing a lot of weight and using retinol with collagen. Could I get a something done to have my flat belly back? I’ve had 3 sections and i miss my tummy so much . I don’t want to have a tummy tuck, I do not have extra skin just a little fat. I’m working out to get rid of it but I don’t want to have to be rail thin to get the job done. I also have a small scar that would pale in comparison to a tuck.

Thank you for your question regarding would Lipo, RF, cool sculpting, or anything else helps to get rid of fat in the stomach area. Thank you for your history and pictures; I would highly suggest liposuction based on your history and pictures. Cool sculpting and RF will definitely get rid of this area. Cool sculpting will indeed make it worse, not better. Cool sculpting has a potential nasty complication of PAH. Liposuction is a gold standard for removing excess skin and fat pockets, and I will be significantly suited for your areas of concern. Liposuction can be done under local or IV sedation or even general anesthesia. Since your area is small, I think it would be best to perform liposuction. Therefore, my vote would be liposuction over cool sculpting or RF. Good luck. I hope I answered your question regarding would Lipo, RF, cool sculpting, or anything else helps to get rid of fat in the stomach area. 
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

You don’t have fat, you have extra skin, also you have a scar there for a c section, you can do tummy tuck, remove and improve the scar that you have, and also make this more lower

Thank you for your question. Based on the pictures you appear to be good candidate for Intense liposuction with skin tightening treatment.  I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Hello @winningwithgoobear, thank you for your question. To achieve a better result, you may want to consider a mini lipectomy that can remove excess skin. If you would like more information and options, I would recommend consulting one or several board certified plastic surgeons. A consultation is vital to establishing a surgical plan that meets your needs, meets your expectations, and takes into account what is possible. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Lipo is the answer but should be combined with morpheus/bodytite/quantum under local.  It would fix that tummy c sec ridge really easily and quickly.
