Candidate for liposuction post-pregnancy (photo)

Thanks so much for your question,

If your skin has good elasticity and isn’t sagging, lipo alone may work well without the need for skin removal and since you don’t have muscle separation, that’s a good sign that lipo could be effective.
Not all surgeons have the same approach. A more experienced lipo specialist might be willing to do it if you’re a good candidate.

I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Based on your photos, you do not need a tummy tuck. Liposuction of any unwanted fat is the perfect solution for you.

Yes from the photos you appear to be a candidate for liposuction to help sculpt your curves. You mentioned you are going to wait until you are six months post partum which is the recommendation. If you are planning to have more children in the future a tummy tuck is not advised until after you've completed your family.

It is difficult to see just through the pictures, however, on the side picture, I can’t see a bit of separation of the muscles due to the pregnancy. It would be best to send additional footage to buyer see the condition of the skin if it’s more so on the loose side a tummy top would definitely be the surgery to benefit you more. Otherwise you can be left with irregularities however, if the skin has retracted mostly on its own perhaps liposuction with j plasma would suit you best!

Hi. Based on your pictures, I am not sure why someone would try to push you hard towards an abdominoplasty or almost wonder why they would even be willing to do it based on what your anatomy appears to be. Obviously an in-person assessment is needed but I would imagine you are a good candidate for liposuction. It may be that you see somewhat subtle results depending on how much subcutaneous adiposity there is (which just refers to the fatty tissue between your skin and the underlying musculature). I would recommend getting in to see a board certified plastic surgeon with good experience with body contouring including liposuction and similar modalities to get another opinion. You might even consider some noninvasive options like Emsculpt or similar and have someone give you the pros and cons of those as well.
Good luck and take care, Dr. Howell
