Am I a good candidate for liposuction? (photos)

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.


Kind regards

Thank you for your question and pictures. i would recommend you a Tummy Tuck for better results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for.

From your side view, your abdominal wall is protruding anteriorly. You may benefit from core exercises such as sit-ups, planks and pilates. Another alternative would be abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more flatter abdomen by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. Another alternative would be liposuction. However, liposuction only removes fat and does not repair a weakened abdominal wall.

Dear Modest398001,generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a surgery, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello. Thanks for your question. By the photos, you are a candidate for Liposuction to eliminate the fat belt around your belly, torso, and chest. You can get excellent results with hi-def Lipo to get a muscular and fitted look. After that, maintain it with exercise and a healthy diet. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for an in-person exam. Good luck!

Weight loss is the recommended, healthier, less expensive and more natural way to get the results you want.

To make an assessment for men’s abdomens we need to differentiate between three variables. These are subcutaneous fat(the pinchable fat between the skin and muscle layer that we remove with Liposuction(, potential skin laxity and excess intra-abdominal or visceral fat. Men tend to have a higher percentage of visceral fat than women but it varies from person to person. Man with a high percentage of visceral fat will see limited results from the bus action and will still have a bulging abdomen despite having the procedure.

Based on your pictures it looks like you’re kind of half and half so you should have a pretty good result from liposuction.

The other thing to consider is that while you feel like your abdomen is your problem area your fat distribution is normal and fairly equally thick on all of your torso.

If you only treat your abdomen then you’ll be left with an abnormal fat distribution that can look abnormal.

For that reason I usually try to treat the entire torso as a single anatomic unit to leave people with an even natural than the fact distribution. A full torso includes upper abdomen, lower abdomen, love handles, waist, fall back, chest and under arm area.

In men it’s especially important to treat up into the armpits to allow definition along the latissimus dorsi muscle and pectoralis muscles to be well defined. They are yeah I’m referring to is over the serratus anterior muscle.

Weight loss has more to do with eating habits then exercise so maybe you can adjust your diet and cut out some of the calories or carbs or whatever it is that’s keeping you from being lean.

You’ve done it before and you can probably do it again but it gets harder as we get older.

Weight loss will give you a more natural and better result and it will take care of the visceral fat as well.
If you do opt for Liposuction I suggest vetting plastic surgeons carefully by having multiple in person consultations and make sure you find the most experience provider in your community. Delivering consistent high-quality Liposuction results is more difficult than people and some providers believe.

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos, I note fullness of the abdomen, flanks, and hips. I would recommend liposuction if you have tried and failed at exercise /diet. The procedure is well tolerated, downtime is minimal, and the results are quite satisfactory.Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion.Best wishes...

Thank you for your question and photos. You appear to be young and healthy and to have good skin quality. You can have a very nice change with liposuction of your trunk, which would include your hips, back and upper and lower abdomen. Be certain to choose a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who is well experienced in body contouring.
