70 pound weight loss, Do I need a tummy tuck with my liposuction? (Photos)

It's difficult to tell the amount of loose skin from the photos due to your arms being raised. When liposuction is performed fat is removed but the skin is not really tightened. If you currently have loose skin it can become worse after liposuction. A tummy tuck can remove both excess skin and fat and give you a tighter, flatter abdomen. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

It’s difficult to assess the quality of your skin in these photos. However, if the surgeon you met with said you have skin elasticity issues, as evident in the “overhang”, then a tummy tuck would be more suitable for you. Liposuction may remove excess fat, however it would not tighten loose skin.
