Lipo or tummy tuck?

Dear hammypie,
Thank you for your question! This can be a tricky answer, so please take this as general advice without me seeing you for an in person consultation. It is also hard to tell without seeing photos but I will try to provide some good general advice.
You may be a candidate for 3 procedures.1. Liposuction + renuvion (with or without morpheus8 after)2. Morpheus 83. Tummy tuck + liposuction
A tummy tuck generally gives the best result, but the tradeoff is a scar in the bikini line (make sure you go to a provider who knows how to perform a hidden scar tummy tuck). However if you wished to avoid the scar, you could also get a good result with liposuction + renuvion as one procedure, and then morpheus8 after to help treat the loose skin. I always add liposuction to my tummy tucks as well. I recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in tummy tucks and body contouring and has access to advanced treatment modalities for a consultation.

Whether you need liposuction, a tummy tuck, or both depends on your actual body composition. In order to ensure that you get the best results, it is critical to complete a consultation with a high definition body contouring specialist. The experienced surgeon will assess your body fat composition, skin redundancy, and even your muscle tone to provide you a definitive and accurate surgical plan.

Thanks for your question. It is difficult to provide a proper evaluation without any pictures. I suggest uploading pictures of your front, side and back. Otherwise, I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure the surgeon you choose has extensive experience and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
