My belly bulges out alot, I look about 5 months pregnant. But, when I suck it in, it's as flat as a board. You can't suck in fat right? So would lipo help this situation? What exactly is happening to my stomach anyway and what will fix it? Why am I so fat in the belly until I suck it in? It's not just a morning thing, or an after I eat thing. It's always like this.

Answer: Lipo360 + abdominoplasty - VASER HD, J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite, fat grafting for buttock lift/BBL, tummy tuck/diasta sounds like you will need liposuction + tummy tuck along with internal heating like renuvion and hormonal therapy (see link) to get more weight loss. bluging is fat inside the body called visceral fat.You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty). Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.

Answer: Would lipo help me if I can suck my stomach in? Thank you for your questions. A physical exam would be better than the photos to understand the dynamics of your anatomy with movement. What you are likely describing is diastasis of the rectus muscles and this can only be fixed with direct suture repair and is usually done at the time of a tummy tuck. See a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.Good luck!Dallas R. Buchanan, MD, FACSOwner & Board-Certified Plastic SurgeonVIVIFY plastic surgery
