Would lipo give me a flat stomach side view? For rear view maybe BBL would help round hips & illusion of smaller waste? (Photo)

Question

My BMI is 31 and have been stuck here for five years even with tons of cardio, eating sensibly & lifting weights. At age 37 I have a healthy resting heart rate of 58-61bps but still overweight at 30% body fat. At my heaviest years ago I was 210lbs (after having baby) now 170lbs and stuck here way too long :( Would just lipo help me or do I need a tummy tuck as well to get flat stomach? What do you think about combining above with fat transfer to hips/butt to achieve illusion of smaller waste?

Great question. Your question already alludes to what could provide you with the best results. A tummy tuck would help you achieve the flatest abdomen. Liposuction and fat grafting would definitely help you achieve more of the shape that you are looking for.

I also think that your best option is to get a full tummy tuck with liposuction to harvest fat and place in to the buttocks for a BBL and the illusion of a smaller waist.  Seek a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a consultation and your surgery.

I think you will get your best result from a Tummy Tuck with Brazilian Butt lift and possibly some additional liposuction.  Performing liposuction alone on your abdomen will not address the underlying muscle looseness and will probably leave you with loose hanging skin.  Pregnancy stretches the abdominal muscles.  Unfortunately exercise and diet alone will not repair them - as you have seen.  You have been very disciplined but have probably done as much as is possible without surgery.  I perform these procedures together for healthy women in my surgery center outside Atlanta.  I would suggest your next step would be a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

I think your best bet to achieve your desired result would be a combination of liposuction, fat grafting and tummy tuck. It is unrealistic to think you can achieve a flat stomach with out a tummy tuck. Then lipo of the hips and thighs to shape the back side and to reach your desired look.Eric Weiss MD

Carlos Burnett, MD, FACS · Answer

You would need a full tummy tuck to get a flat stomach, liposuction and fat transfer to the hips and buttocks (BBL). This combination,for all intents and purposes, will make your waist appear much smaller. Be positive and stay encouraged. Dr. Burnett

I think that you need to be seen in present evaluate your tummy, buttocks, and donor sites for fat harvesting. Best of luck.

Huseyin Kandulu, MD · Answer

Your BMI is high for vaser mid definition operations. But if your skin elasticity is good enough you will be have a good result with vaser liposculpture. Vaser is an ultrasound energy and it amplificated and emulsificated fat tissue and these fat tissues can used again for augmentation and reshaping.

Before embarking on a surgical plan, a proper assessment with correct diagnoses must first be made.In your case, it appears your abdomen is bulging due to muscle separation from pregnancy.Being slightly overweight is also adding to the problem with a probable accumulation of intra-abdominal fat pushing against your abdominal muscles.The only two options you have at this point are further weight loss to decrease intra-abdominal fat or an abdominoplasty.A Brazilian butt lift can give the impression of a thinner waist . Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
