Asked By:Helpful365953 in Minneapolis, Minnesota

I'm 5'10, and currently 206lbs after losing 70 pounds over the past two years. I want liposuction to flatten my abdomen and flanks (especially on the left that protrudes unevenly), but recently had a consultation where the doctor said he would reccomend a tummy tuck (due to to the overhang) ,instead with flanks lipo, and none to the abdomen as he doesn't believe there's enough fat left there to lipo. The doctor is one of the best in the area, and I trust him immensely - but I'm definitely nervous about a tummy tuck. Thoughts?
