In totality, I have loss about 85-90 lbs and this spare tire/lip situation will NOT budge. I am looking to dropping at least 30 more lbs. I want to make sure that liposuction is indeed something that will remove this "lip", volume from abdomen, and decrease my waist line in a less evasive way. not completely opposed to a tummy tuck BUT if one could be avoided I would go that route. Thank you in advance.

Answer: Will liposuction get rid of the spare tire? Thank you for your question. Congratulations on your significant weight loss! Although you have not provided any photos, I imagine that you have a good bit of excess skin all over but especially at the bottom part of your abdomen. No form of liposuction will tighten the skin fully eliminating the spare tire. Exercise will also not tighten the skin. Unfortunately, a procedure such as a panniculectomy or tummy Tuck is the only thing that will tighten the skin to any significant degree. I recommend that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon certified by the American board of plastic surgery to fully discuss your options. I recommend that you at least search the website of the doctor that you will be seeing and look to make sure that they are certified by the American board of plastic surgery. If it does not mention that they are certified by this board, then they most likely are not. I recommend that you see a surgeon that is extensively experienced in both liposuction and the tummy tuck procedure so that you can discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each and the expected outcome. Hopefully this helps. Best wishes!

Answer: I had a consult today and was told that AquaLipo could remove the volume in my stomach area. Can I lose the "lip" with lipo? Congratulations on your weight loss. The lip or bulge that you see is loose skin caused by your weight loss. Liposuction will not tighten a loose flap or lip of skin on the abdomen. Continue your weight loss until he reached her goal and then consider a tummy tuck to tighten the tummy and removed loose skin. To learn more about tummy tuck please read below:
