Would liposuction alone be sufficient or will I need a tummy tuck? (Photos)

Question

Hello, I am a 35-year-old woman, currently weighing 200 lbs. I do not have children and have had a hysterectomy. I am planning to undergo liposuction 360 with fat transfer to the buttocks, along with a breast lift. I am actively working out and currently taking weight loss medication. My goal is to achieve a soft, athletic build. Given my situation, would liposuction alone be sufficient to achieve this look, or would a tummy tuck also be necessary?

Thank you for sharing your photos and questions. It is a great idea to utilize weight loss medications to reach your target weight first. However, to get the best result from plastic surgery, I recommend that you maintain your goal weight for at least 3 to 6 months before surgery to ensure your weight is stable.  At that point you can be evaluated to see if liposuction 360 degrees with fat transfer to the buttocks is the best choice or doing a tummy tuck at the same time will enhance your results. See a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in-person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Hello, thank you for the question and photos... no Liposuction alone is not enough, saggy skin  can be remaining and a Tummy Tuck is needed.

You should deal with your obesity first.
May be consider GLP1 medications if you’re not able to lose the weight on your own.
If you have a liposuction, but can’t master lowering your weight then your weight will come back making the procedure giving you a low satisfaction
You do not need a tummy tuck.
A tummy tuck primarily treats, skin laxity, and muscle separation, and you don’t have either one.
In other words, a tummy tuck is a treatment for pregnancy related changes 
best,
