I've gotten lipo 360 in 2020 and doctor only took out 350 cc'd I was told. Clearly chub is still there. I go to the gym, walk and do weights. What will get rid of this sad face looking tummy?

Answer: A tummy tuck or panniculectomy can remove loose skin hello, You may benefit from skin removal to tighten the abdomen. This is part of the tummy tuck procedure. The other benefit of a tummy tuck is that it will tighten the rectus diastasis muscle to make the stomach flatter. It is possible your surgeon did not want to remove too much fat as he he knew the fat extraction was creating more loose skin. But that is just a wild guess! I typically remove 1000-3000cc from the abdomen. On occasion I have removed 5L (5000cc) from just the abdomen, but that is really extraordinary. On the other hand, when a patient has loose skin on the abdomen, the patient is always advised to have a TT instead of lipo to the abdomen. Good luck and thank you for your question.
