3 weeks from today, I'm scheduled for liposuction on my abdomen, hips, and outer thighs. I'm 44 and have had 2 C-sections, however I never did get strechmarks. Actually, after having my boys, I was 10lbs lighter than my high school/college weight with no loose skin. My question is, do I automatically need a tummy tuck because of my age and because I've had 2 kids? The reason I ask is because I feel like almost every review of a woman over 40 with kids says yes. My surgeon tells me no.

Answer: Liposuction I would not suction your abdomen. I think an abdominoplasty will give you a better result.

Answer: Mommy Makeover with VASER Hi Def Liposuction, ThermiRF, ultrasound Not automatically, it will depend on the laxity of the skin. You appear to be a good candidate for liposuction. I recommend a hi-definition procedure for the best results with skin tightening. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF, ultrasound and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, and contouring. If you are a candidate for a tummy tuck, it can be performed at the same time. I suggest a consult with a hi-def physique liposuction expert to go over the best options. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Liposuction Thank you for your question and for sharing appropriate pictures. You seem to be a good candidate for liposuction. It's difficult to tell from photos alone if a tummy tuck is needed in your case. Often pregnancy causes the abdominal muscles to loosen, which is why many mothers opt to remove the loose skin and tighten those muscles. Make sure you're working with a board certified plastic surgeon for precise recommendations.
