Answer: Liposuction Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. It depends on the amount of skin laxity you have. If you have good skin elasticity, then liposuction can be very effective. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Loose skin If you have a lot of loose skin already, liposuction will only make it looser. Your stomach may not be as flat as you’d like as a result, because the loose skin will hide it. A tummy tuck would be a better option if you want to tighten up loose skin. However, if you have firm skin with good elasticity, then it might be able to retract enough after liposuction. So, it’s important that you’re examined by a reputable board certified plastic surgeon. They’ll be able to let you know if you liposuction or a tummy tuck will achieve your goals.

Answer: Skin hanging after liposuction If the the skin in the area of liposuction is loose or droopy to begin with, it is likely that it will become even worse after the operation. Without an exam, it will not be possible to fully evaluate you and give you recommendations.

Answer: Loose skin after lipo Liposuction is a great option for removing belly fat. Excess/loose skin after lipo can happen if you already have loose skin to begin with. If this is a concern of yours I would recommend speaking with your plastic surgeon about it. Wearing a compression garment following surgery can also help to keep skin tight after surgery.
