Camille Cash, MD · Answer

It's difficult to give a recommendation without photos.  I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation.  After an examination and discussion of your goals, a personalized recommendation can be given.  I've included a video about liposuction that I hope you find helpful.

It is impossible to say without at least photos. But any type of anergy assisted lipo can help avoid loose skin after lipo. 
Best of luck,

You are in control of your body, and no one will make you get a tummy tuck. But even if you really needed one, that is to say you have a lot of excess skin and your muscles are separated, you will still find hundreds of practitioners who will just do liposuction on you, potentially resulting in a nightmare result.  The problem is a lack of ethics with so many doctors in this town; their bank account is more important than your result, so telling you 'no' is not likely to happen.  You may in fact be a good candidate for something other than a tummy tuck, but I wouldn't know without photos. Either post photos or go on consultations.

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

It is impossible to give you advise/opinion without photos or in person evaluation. For your information, liposuction and TT are not interchangeable procedures; only on the basis of in person consultation, a board certified plastic surgeon, can advise you what is more appropriate procedure for you. Hope this helps.

There is  no comparision from all the other gimmicky lipos under general anesthesia.  Tum. local lipo with the micro canulas where you can get stood up and fine tuned right then is by far the safest and best results.
