I am a mom of three children two are twins. I am not happy w my stomach after dieting, exercising, and going to a physical therapist to correct abdominal diastasis. I don't really want a tummy tuck and was wondering if lipo was an option for me, or if my skin would become loose and saggy. Maybe I should just give it more time w diet and exercise? Any input will help. I have a consult on Aug 30th.

Answer: Tummy Tuck - Am I A Candidate? Thank you for your question. Based upon photos provided, you appear to be an excellent candidate for a full tummy tuck. The abdominal skin excision and muscle tightening could give you an excellent contour as well as improve the tone of the anterior abdominal wall. Liposuction could be used to better define your flanks and hips at the time of tummy tuck surgery. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring for an in-person examination to discuss the specific details of the procedures. Ask to see before and after photos to get an idea of what can be achieved. I offer complimentary consultations to discuss your treatment options. Hope this helps!

Answer: Lipo vs. tummy tuck If you are through having children and want a flat, contoured abdomen, then I would suggest the tummy tuck. From your photos it appears that you have some muscle separation, probably from pregnancy, that can be addressed with the tummy tuck. If you are looking for conservative improvement, or if you still plan to have more children, then liposuction would be acceptable. The choice of which is best is influenced by what your goals are from surgery.
