I had two pregnancies back to back during the pandemic. I did my best to take care of my skin and don't have a ton of stretch marks just a bit of loose skin. I'm wondering if I'm a good candidate for a tummy tuck or I can get away with just Lipo and maybe a skin tightening alternative like j-plasma? I'm trying to avoid a tummy tuck (if it's avoidable)because I tend to not always scar well. Please advise.

Answer: VASER HI DEF 4D LIPO / 360 Degree Sculpture / Body Contouring / HD Sculpting With Fat Transfer and Tummy Tuck / Mommy Makeover For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction, which can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, depending on skin laxity. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF/J Plasma/Renuvion/InMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: TT or not Based on your photos you have several issues: Protruding abdomen as te result of visceral fat, so you must lose some weight before surgery to look flat. Your muscle is loose after the pregnancies and that will not improve at all with liposuction or exercise. You have saggy skin and liposuction will only make it saggier and I consider based on your degree of saggy skin , yours won’t retract enough to look nice and smooth. And lastly your abdominal skin and back is very thick. So in my opinion you will be great candidate number one to lose weight (10-15 lbs), then for a Tummy Tuck and muscle repair in order to achieve a flat abdomen and smaller waist. Liposuction to waist and back. That fat may be used on your buttocks or hips if you want it. Be encouraged!! Dr. Cárdenas
