I’m a 49 year old female interested in a 2nd round of Lipo. I had lipo 360 about 3 years ago. I have PCOS and have always had what looks like a spare tire around my abdomen. With my last lipo I did see some improvement but I am now interested in a second round under local anesthesia. I don’t have any children but I do have some loose skin. Can I expect good results the second time around?
Answer: Lipo 360 Round 2 Thank you for your inquiry regarding the potential for achieving desirable results with a second round of 360 liposuction. After reviewing your photos, it appears that you have excess skin as well as excess fat. If you were to undergo another round of liposuction, it is likely that you would end up with even more excess skin. Instead, I would recommend considering a tummy tuck with muscle plication to eliminate the excess skin and achieve a smaller waistline. During this procedure, I would dissect up to the sternum to free up any adhesions, plicate the rectus abdominis muscle to bring in your waistline by 2 to 4 inches, and remove any excess skin and fat in the pubic region, commonly referred to as the FUPA. Additionally, we could perform liposuction of the flanks to further enhance your results. If you are comfortable with having excess skin, another round of liposuction may be an option. However, for the most optimal and snatched result with minimal excess skin, a tummy tuck with muscle plication may be the best approach. Thank you for considering my recommendation regarding the potential for a second round of 360 liposuction.

Answer: Liposuction Candidate Thank you for your question. Based on the pictures you appear to be good candidate for Liposuction in your stomach, waist, pubic area and laterals to improve your body contour also I would suggest you the skin tightening treatment to improve the skin quality. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results. Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Liposuction alone will not be successful As you pointed out, you do have loose skin based on your photographs. Liposuction may make the skin even looser if more fat is removed. To get the best result, you would need a tummy tuck, so the excess skin can be removed. The muscles will be tightened to give you a narrower waist. Liposuction can be performed to address any residual excess fat of the abdomen or flanks.

Answer: Can I expect good results the second time around? Hello and thank you for posting. Unfortunately, I do not think you will get the results you are looking for with liposuction only. You would be best served with a TT. Actually, you were probably a candidate for a Tummy Tuck the first time around and that is why you didn’t get good and lasting results. You obviously have doubts about a second round of lipo and with good reason. Please consult your surgeon about the possibility of a TT with Lipo. This would be your best option for sure! Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota
