I'm 28, was pregnant with one child. Do I need lipo + skin tightening or tummy tuck for a flat stomach? Thank you!
Answer: Lipo vs. Tummy Tuck For You (After Childbirth) Hi and thank you for your question regarding whether liposuction will give you a flat stomach. t appears that your distended abdomen is likely due to weakened abdominal muscles from pregnancy, along with excess skin and stretch marks. While liposuction can address fat deposits, it may not be effective for your specific concerns. In fact, liposuction alone could potentially leave you with more loose skin. Based on your individual case, I would recommend a tummy tuck procedure with liposuction of the love handles. This procedure will include muscle repair and pubic work to reduce fat from the mons region, resulting in optimal results for your concerns. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to further discuss your options and determine the best plan of action for your desired outcome. Thank you for your question and best of luck in your decision-making process. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: Likely a tummy tuck Hi Courageous606330, On the side view, you have lower abdominal bulging, below the belly button. Most commonly, this is due to rectus diastasis--a vertical split between the six pack muscles. Liposuction can reduce fat, but only a tummy tuck provides the opportunity to reduce fat and fix rectus diastasis. An exam from a qualified plastic surgeon would be a great next step.

Answer: Tummy tuck An in person assessment by a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended. However, based on your photos alone, a tummy tuck may be more suitable for you. This is because you appear to have loose skin and stretch marks. Liposuction alone would not remove the loose skin. A tummy tuck would, giving you the flatter stomach you’re hoping for.

Answer: Considering options From your photos it appears you will have the best result from a tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring. This will remove excess fat and skin as well as repair abdominal wall laxity. However if you are planning to have more children, I encourage you to wait on the tummy tuck until after you have completed your family. You will have improvement from liposuction alone, but the stretched out abdominal muscles will not be addressed.
