Would I Need More Than Tri Lipo to Get Rid of the Pouch? (photo)

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you will achieve your body goal with a full tummy tuck combined with intense liposuction including abdomen, waist, laterals and upper and lower back to improve your body contour and get better curves, especially in your waist area.
Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for the question and pictures.

I would suggest that you consider undergoing a full tummy tuck procedure or have nothing done surgically. I think it is predictable that you will be disappointed with the results of liposuction surgery (no matter what the gimmicky name)  and/or mini tummy tuck surgery.

I think you demonstrate a clear example of  a patient who  looking for a “small fix” ends up with surgical results that are very unsatisfactory. This would consist of a regular loose skin ( that may make you uncomfortable removing your clothing).  The abdominal wall muscle laxity will remain ( and potentially being even more visible if liposuction is done superficially).

Again, sometimes it is best to do nothing than to “do harm”.

Best wishes.

Your posted photos show lax abdominal muscles, moderate excess skin and mild to moderate excess fat but you would need a face to face examination to verify this. I suspect most of what you are seeing as puffy and a lump when sitting is the loose muscle although there may be some contribution of skin and fat. If that is the truly the case no liposuction procedure including laser, ultrasonic etc will give you the result you are looking for.

I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.

My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.
