Am I a good candidate for stomach liposuction instead of a tummy tuck? (Photos)

Asked By:Rational199278 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

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.
