Answer: Liposuction vs Tummy Tuck Liposuction removes the excess subcutaneous fat. One need good skin quality, for the skin to contract- ideally no stretch marks. Underlying medical conditions need to be optimized. Patients need to be realistic of the limitation of liposuction alone and this should be addressed at plastic surgery consultation.

Answer: Tummy tuck better option A panniculectomy removes the skin/fat that hangs below your waist, also known as a “pannus”. In your photos, you don’t appear to have that much of a pannus, which means a panniculectomy may not help you achieve the results you want. I think a tummy tuck would be more suitable for you, since you appear to have loose skin that won’t be tightened up with liposuction alone.

Answer: Am I a candidate for just lipo, or do you recommend the panniculectomy? (Photo) If you are healthy with a BMI of about 30, the TT and liposuction would address loose skin and fat in the abdomen, bra roll, flanks, and back. The abdominal wall can be tightened as well through a process called plication. You might want to consider a BBL prior to the TT so that fat can be harvested from the abdomen and other areas to enhance the buttocks. Consult with an American Board of Plastic Surgery board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of TTs, liposuctions, and BBLs each year, and posts untouched before and after photos on his/her website along with patient reviews.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Abdominal evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a better candidate for a full tummy tuck with liposuction. This can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line. The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on the exterior. Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
