Would I benefit from Lipo for lower belly? 5'8 and 149 lbs, I eat healthy, and work out regularly . (photos)

Thanks for the question. I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Kind regards

If the area that sticks out has excess fat in the area between the skin and the underlying muscle then you may be a candidate for liposuction. You are in good shape and you may be limited on how flat it can get in that area. If it's really bothering you, you should consider a consultation with a plastic surgeon who is very experienced in liposuction on thin patients and who has good before and after photos.

Thank you for your question. Looking at the photos you have provided, I think your a great candidate for Liposuction. It will help contour the midsection and reduce the fullness in the belly. I don't typically recommend doing liposuction of the abdomen under local. I personally think it's better to be done under some form of anesthesia. I would recommend speaking to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options.

Based on your photos and the history you provided, it appears that liposuction of your lower abdomen would help with the part of your lower abdomen that you don't like.
Before you decide, it is important to be examined in person.
From the photo, it appears that your lower abdomen may be all that would benefit from treatment, however an in person exam is needed to confirm.
Many different types of liposuction can be used and whether it is done under local or with anesthetic depends on your and your surgeons preferences.
I recommend an in person consultation.
All the best to you,
Dr. Nancy de Kleer

Yes you would! I feel it is always safer and better to perform lipo in the O.R., but because it is a small area, it could also be done in an office setting. Local anesthesia in both cases.
I believe Vaser lipo would be best because it will help with skin contraction. If you where my patient I would suggest doing lipo on your entire abdomen and waist. Additionally, I feel the best way to treat the waist and lovehandles is with lipo from the back… so back lipo as well if possible. I know you do not have much fat, but it will still make a difference. It will help define you butt and waist, making your entire body look better, not just your lower belly.

Best of luck,
Dr. Miguel Mota

From the photos that you provided; it does appear that you may have enough subcutaneous fat to benefit from liposuction. It is very important to consult in person to evaluate skin quality. Liposuctioning with poor skin quality can lead to a poor result with skin laxity. You want to make sure the lower abdominal skin will contract back on its own after debulking with liposuction.

Dear cathyxxxx,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

An examination is needed to see if you have residual external fat that can be treated with liposuction or internal fullness which is often a sign of a swollen colon from food sensitivities and is not treated with surgery.

From your photo it appears you are a good candidate for liposuction. This should remove unwanted fat from the lower abdomen and further sculpt your curves. The procedure is best done under general anesthesia for your comfort, safety, and to give your surgeon the opportunity to optimize your results.

Stop.

You have a lovely tummy. Any intervention will be less attractive.

Try some weight loss. Maybe semaglutide.
