Hello All, I have been back and forth trying to figure out what is best for me, my body and my future. I was told by one doctor that if she did anything for me she would only do a tummy tuck. I am 5’9 254 pounds. I have stretch marks on my stomach, but I have not had any kids yet and do not want to have a tummy tuck just yet. I simply want a smaller stomach. I am attaching a few pictures but I always want to attach one picture of what I look like at 230lbs which will be the smallest picture.

Answer: There is no escaping a tummy tuck for you You have loose sagging skin and stretch marks sitting on top of layer of fat. Removing the fat by diet or lipo won't make the sagging skin or stretch marks go away. In fact, they will look worse and you will be severely disappointed. Losing weight will give you a better tummy tuck result. Lipo of the sides and back will improve the contours of your waistline, but you will still need a tummy tuck. Having kids or not doesn't make a difference except that your muscles might not require tightening, but that requires an exam to figure out.
