Do I need a tummy tuck to correct my rolls after I had Vaser Liposuction? (Phtoo)

Question

Hello, prior to any cosmetic surgery I had 2 c-sections. First round a Bbl in March 2019 and February 2020 I had fibrosis removal with Vaser Liposuction. Since then, I formed these rolls in my stomach when I’m in a sitting positing but laying down or standing up it’s not really noticeable. Do I need a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck to fix this issue?

I encourage you to begin by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation.  From the photos it does appear you'd be a candidate for a tummy tuck. It's important to note that even after a tummy tuck it is possible that you will have some skin laxity when seated.

Thank you for your question and pictures. 
Yes, it is possible for you to get liposuction with j-plasma. 
If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for.

Dear kareema252,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Some skin laxity in the mid-section is necessary as it allows you to bend. While a full tummy tuck can tighten up some of this lax skin in the area above and below your belly button, please consider whether the minor improvement would be worth the surgical experience and related risks.

Thank you for your question and photos.

you need Full Tummy Tuck and liposuction. 
A tummy tuck can remove loose, excess skin and fat, and tighten weak fascia. A tummy tuck can also remove stretch marks and excess skin in the lower abdomen below the bellybutton. However, a tummy tuck won't correct stretch marks outside of this area.
If you've previously had a C-section, your plastic surgeon might be able to incorporate your existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar.
A tummy tuck can also be done in combination with other body contouring cosmetic procedures, such as breast surgery. If you've had fat removed from your abdomen (liposuction), you may decide to have a tummy tuck because liposuction removes tissue just under the skin and fat but not any excess
