I'm 24 have 2 kids I'm 5'4 and weigh 240 lbs but all of my weight is located in my belly I don't have huge hips or a big butt is all in my belly is it possible to remove with a tummy tuck and liposuction?
Answer: I'm 24 yrs old, 5'4, 240 lbs. Am I a candidate for a Tummy Tuck and Liposuction? It is always best to achieve your ideal weight first before undergoing any tuck and tightening procedure. However, you should see good results after abdominoplasty ( it will remove your excess skin and fat, tighten your abdominal wall muscles) and liposuction of flanks and waist will create a better more feminine contoure. Seek an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Tummy tuck or liposuction candidate with BMI >40? I do not think that you are currently a good candidate for either tummy tuck or liposuction. You will likely not be happy with the results. From your pictures, it looks like a large portion of your fat is inside your abdomen and cannot be removed with anything but weight loss. I would choose a weight loss goal that puts your BMI at less than 30. At that point, you will derive more improvement from tummy tuck and liposuction.Best of luck,Trey Aquadro, M.D.Auburn, AL

Answer: I'm 24 yrs old, 5'4, 240 lbs. Am I a candidate for a Tummy Tuck and Liposuction? I would recommend some weight loss first to make the surgery safer. Tummy tuck with liposuction of the sides and back would seem a reasonable option.

Answer: Tummy Tuck or Liposuction Hello and thanks for the question. Based on your pictures, you are only a candidate for a tummy tuck. You have too much loose skin to rely on liposuction for better contour. The larger issue is not what procedure you need but your weight. You should be investigating ways to lose some of your excess weight through diet, exercise or a weight loss operation. There are so many potential medical problems that people get when they are overweight. I would see a board-certified plastic surgeon or two to get their opinions.

Answer: Good candidate for an abdominoplasty aided by liposuction. Only in abdominoplasty will give a satisfactory result for the anterior abdomen. However the waist and potential other areas would benefit from liposuction.
