I'm a size 14 and had two children. However the lose skin in my stomach area is horrible. I work out very hard and can actually see muscle definition but the lose skin just gets in the way. Both me and my husband is very nervous about the TT procedure. I would feel more comfortable with liposuction but would like honest suggestions based on my pictures. I've been thinking about this for the last ten years and I'm 100% ready to have work done. Just want to make sure I'm making the right investment and would like to get it done right the first time. Currently I'm 34 mother of two. Thank you very much for time
Answer: Lipoabdominoplasty combines the benefits of tummy tuck and liposuction Thank you for your question.A specific procedure called lipoabdominoplasty (liposuction + tummy tuck) might be a good procedure for you. For best results, get to a stable weight that you can safely maintain prior to surgery. For long lasting results, keep this weight after surgery.To be sure, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.I hope this helps.

Answer: Liposuction Vs. Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question and for providing photos. Obviously, you would need a consultation and exam for a definitive recommendation. However, you appear to be a better candidate for tummy tuck rather liposuction. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure but will not address the loose excess skin which seems to be your main concern. Spend some time looking at the photos on RealSelf of tummy tuck patients and read some of the Q and A's in the forum. I think you will find most women feel the results of the tummy tuck are worth it.Best of luck,

Answer: The perfect procedure for YOU I totally understand you and your husband fear for the Tummy Tuck but your have to acknowledge that you have developed flaccid skin on your abdomen as the result of your prior pregnancies and that will NOT be any better, any tighter after liposuction, by the contrary, it will become more saggy and other very important thing: your muscle will remain as protruding as is now. So NO much improvement after liposuction to your abdomen.You are a beautiful candidate for a Tummy Tuck, with a very low incision to be hidden under a bikini, and a muscle repair to create a flatter abdomen and tapered and small waist. These procedures will create a spectacular change on your body shape and if we combine with some liposuction to lower back, then your result will be awesome and very curvaceous!!!Be encouraged. You will be loving your beautiful and curvy figure.Dr. Cardenas

Answer: Tummy tuck vs liposuction Dear Turinky, Front and side views pictures would have been very helpful, however, from your history and description of your tummy, it appears that you will benefit more from tummy tuck than liposuction which is recommended for patients with fat accumulation and no skin laxity. Women who had chidren, usually present with skin and muscles laxity, lose of waist definition, lax pubic area and unattractive belly button. All these frustrating condition can be improved dramatically with tummy tuck. Another benefit of tummt tuck is that by tightening the abdominal muscles, you can not eat the amount of food as before and consequently you lose weight which adds to your health and quality of life. Always, consult with board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety . Check the before and after pictures to make sure that the are numerous, consistent and attractive. Check also the 'realself' reviews for positive patients experience which privides important information about the surgeons. Best of luck, Dr Widder
