Bariatric sleeve, liposuction or tummy tuck? (Photo)

Since you want to lose weight and get back to your old body, a bariatric sleeve might be the most effective if you’ve struggled with weight loss long-term with the BMI 35. However, if you feel you can lose weight through diet and exercise, you might want to focus on that first, then consider a tummy tuck or liposuction later for body sculpting.

Hello, I hope you are well. A BMI of 35 as well as your on going struggle with weight loss would most likely make you eligible for a gastric sleeve. Before undergoing plastic surgery it is best to reach your weight goal and maintain it for several months. Specially if you report struggling with weight fluctuations. It is even possible you wont need plastic surgery after reaching your ideal weight following a bariatric procedure.

I would recommend you talk to a bariatric doctor about your case first. You are a good candidate and yes you will lose a lot of weight inches and sizes. Plus you will get great quality of life that is priceless. So see your options. I hope this helps and I wish you the best on this amazing journey. Dr. Alvarez

Liposuction is for spot removal of unwanted fat.  Tummy tuck is for flattening your belly.  Only bariatric surgery is for weight loss.  Get the sleeve gastrectomy.  After you lose weight see how you look and feel before considering one of the other procedures.
