I would like to get a BBL with lipo. I’ve had 3 kids and I’m not sure I’m done yet. So I’m not ready for the tummy tuck. If I get a lipo from my stomach which doesn’t have extreme loose skin from pregnancy’s, will my stomach have saggy skin?
Answer: Considering options From your photos it appears you have abdominal wall laxity, likely from previous pregnancies. While you may not have loose skin after liposuction, I'm not sure you'll be happy with your abdominal contour. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your goals for surgery. It may be better to wait until after you've finished having children and then get a tummy tuck.

Answer: Will I get sagging skin after liposuction? I agree you don't have extreme loose skin from your pregnancies. Liposuction will not give you saggy skin because your skin is very good after 3 pregnancies, although the skin will possibly be a bit looser than what it is now, but still within acceptable limits. However, that doesn't mean liposuction is a good choice for you. My concern is that the lower abdominal bulge that you have may be in part from a rectus diastasis and weakness of the abdominal wall, which is repaired with a tummy tuck. Which means you may not be happy with liposuction alone. I recommend you see a plastic surgeon in consultation because a physical exam is necessary to provide you with more information about how much of the bulge is fat under the skin and how much is from a diastasis. This will help you decide if it is worth it to do liposuction. As you mentioned, many people are happy with some liposuction and consider a tummy tuck later.

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Slantz805, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Liposuction or not It appears that you have both some excess fat, a bit of stretch marks and maybe just a bit of loose skin. I feel you're not a candidate for an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) until after you are finished having children. Liposuction alone with partially flatten the front of your lower belly (it seems you may have a little outward curvature of your muscles from pregnancy and internal fat), but not completely flatten you. If this is acceptable, go for it. Youi will look better and your sides and lower back will be substantially improved. A physical exam would answer all questions more effectively. Best wishes.
