Would liposuction alone minimize stubborn fat in my stomach area? 25 y/o (photos)

When looking at your photos, it appears that you have some lax skin as well. If you are able to grab your fat from right below your bellybutton and pull it upwards towards your breasts, that is a sign that your skin has been stretched and now has some laxity to it . Going in and only doing liposuction would leave you with excess skin in which case we would suggest a full Tummy Tuck. We do like to factor in a person's age, weight and skin quality as well when making these decisions. Reminder that we are only basing a response off of these couple photos and being seen in person for a consultation with a licensed professional is always the best way to distinguish any future procedure as well as determining what is the best option for you.

Hello, my name is Dr Igor Burko, and I am a Plastic Surgeon at SY Aesthetics in NYC. Based on your photos, you do have some excess abdominal fat and skin. If you are fine with some loose skin, then liposuction is an option for you. In addition, skin tightening technology, such as Renuvion J Plasma may offer you an additional benefit during liposuction to help your skin contract.

Based on your photos, you have good skin tone, which makes you a suitable candidate for liposuction of the abdomen. To achieve a more comprehensive and harmonious result, it would be wise to also consider contouring the flanks to ensure a smooth transition from the stomach to the sides. This procedure will not impact your plans for future pregnancies. Additionally, it seems you are comfortable with the possibility of some skin laxity, should it occur following further weight loss after the surgery.

Liposuction can remove the fat. However, the skin may hang. Since you are 24 years old, I recommend you start wearing a compressive garment prior to liposuction. This will help mold the skin. After liposuction, you will need to wear the compressive garment as well to help the skin recoil.

Best Wishes,

You would do very well to get lipo with bodytite/morpheus to help tighten up the skin. It is easy to undergo and makes a big improvement but get it done under local with iv sedation for best, safest results rather than general.

Hello darling! Thank you very much for the question and the photos. You are a candidate for lipoabdominoplasty. It is the most recommended to optimize results. Based on your future plans for having children, there are no problems. but they are details to be discussed in consultation.

This procedure must be performed by a skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon, A consultation is vital to create a surgical plan that fits your needs and meets your expectations.

Hi Fantastic954434,
Based on your photos, history, and stated goals, I would say that you are a great candidate for abdominal liposuction, particularly the upper/lower abdomen and love handles. In our practice, we perform 'awake' liposuction under tumescent anesthesia with IV sedation as well as 'general' anesthesia with patients completely under anesthesia. Both techniques have pros and cons, and a discussion with your surgeon can help you determine which method would be most appropriate for you. Good luck!

Hi, thanks for your question and pics. You are a candidate for Liposuction, You can have excellent results using J Plasma Renuvion to tighten the skin. You may consider a Tummy Tuck since it will not interfere with a future pregnancy. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for an in-person exam. God luck!

You would do well with liposuction to remove the excess fat. Renuvion could be added to help tighten your skin if desired. This could be done under general anesthesia or under local with some oral sedation.

Liposuction would be a good choice for you since you are possibly planning future pregnancies. You can consider skin tightening as well for improved results. As you mentioned your intention to lose weight, it is best to reach your goal weight prior to surgery to give your surgeon the opportunity to optimize your final look.
