Hello, I'm a mom of 3, baby is 1 year. I've had 2 consultations with 2 different PS whom said I have a small hernia I have a small DR and I would need a tummy tuck. I went to Elite Body Sculpting For mini tummy tuck consult and the doctor told me I didn't need that, he said all I needed was lipo and it would give me the results I'm looking for. I'm not sure it would address the small DR issue. I would need to get the hernia repaired. Any suggestions? Should I just go for the surgery or the lipo?

Answer: Tummy Tuck dear Patient: thanks for your question and photos. I would first start by advising you to only consult with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, these are the experts you should be entrusting your body to. Most probably the center for liposuction you went to are doctors that are not Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, and are not licensed to perform Tummy tuck procedures. From the photos I see you would benefit from a Tummy tuck and in the process, a skilled Board Certified Surgeon would fix your hernea. I do this routinely in many tummy tuck cases. Hope this helps!

Answer: Tummy Tuck Vs. Elite Body Sculpture? Liposuction alone will not address all of your problems and I would not recommend that you do it before getting your hernia repaired. Also, there is nothing special about liposuction being called elite or by any other specialized name, it is still just liposuction. A tummy tuck with liposuction will address all of your problems in one surgery and will give you better results as far as skin tightening and muscle repair.
