Am I a candidate for liposuction post pregnancy? I’m 4 months post partum from an emergency c section and wanting liposuction on my lower stomach when I’m 6 months post partum. I’ve been for a consultation and was told my only option is a tummy tuck which just seems so extreme to me as I don’t have any loose skin or diastasis recti. It’s really disheartened me as I definitely do not want a tummy tuck but I did want liposuction to give me a boost of confidence since being pregnant

Answer: Candidate for liposuction post-pregnan 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.

Answer: In person evaluation needed You are not a candidate for a tummy tuck as you do not appear to have excess skin. It also appears that you have very little fat so I do not think liposuction will do much for you. You need to be evaluated in person to see how much fat you do have.
