I'm getting a breast reduction / lift this year. I'm interested in some stomach liposuction at the same time. I'm kind of feeling like it may be an option - rather than a full tummy tuck - as I don't have a lot of excess skin? Would I be an ok candidate for lipo over a tuck? I see a surgeon next month.

Answer: Liposuction Liposuction only removes fat and a tummy tuck removes fat and skin. It does not appear that you have excess skin. I believe liposuction would be adequate for you.

Answer: No, you are not a good candidate for liposuction without skin removal Don't be fooled, there are many who'll tell you that you just need fat removal, and likely with some special machine or technique. There is no skin tightening machine and there is no 'best' way to remove fat other than liposuction by a well trained, highly experienced, and skilled plastic surgeon who's really a plastic surgeon (not cosmetic, derm, ent boarded doc calling themselves 'plastic'). Check that surgeon's credentials on the website for the American Society of Plastic Surgeon's website. If they check out there, then find their website and Insta page. Get a feel for what they do. If they only do liposuction and don't do tummy tucks, go somewhere else. Why? Because they'll be the most honest with you.
