Would large volume liposuction work for me? (Photo)

If your health is good otherwise, then liposuction of the tummy could be done although a tummy tuck would be so much better. Patients are so surprised at how much skin tightening they can get from liposuction alone. You will have very wavy, dimply skin on the tummy but you will look so much better in clothes and move probably a lot easier without the full hanging tummy. Be sure to keep up the exercise and dieting.

Thank you for your question along with your photos. I would suggest working out and eating healthy to get within 20-30 lbs. of your goal weight for your height. Once you get to that point I would then suggest going to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon about your surgical options. Liposuction and a tummy tuck could get you the results you desire. Hope this helps!Best,Dr. Newall

Dear Shana,
Certainly you could have large volume liposuction and it would work to reduce some fat.  However, I don't think it would give you the results you want... particularly with your lower abdomen with the excess skin.  Liposuction won't really address your "hanging belly".  For best results, you would at some point require an abdominoplasty.  However, I don't think there would be any harm in getting a liposuction procedure in the near future and then later down the road having the tummy tuck.  I would recommend you attempting to lose some weight on your own prior to any surgery from a safety standpoint.  Good luck and hope this helps!
