Hello; there is a fat on your belly, stretch marks and possibly; due to pregnancy period. You have muscle laxity. By the support of liposuction treatment; it is possible for decreasing abdominal fat. However, due to the looseness in the abdominal muscles; when the fat is removed; the abdomen zone will not be flat. Additionally, due to cracks in the skin; the abdominal skin will also remain loose.

While liposuction may help, you may also benefit from a tummy tuck.  It's very hard to see from your photos, but you may have a diastasis recti, which is where the abdominal muscles separate, common after pregnancy.

Andrew Ray, DO · Answer

You would be an excellent candidate for VASER assisted liposuction with likely some form of microneedling or possible internal skin tightening with renuvion. This is because you do have stretch marks which means your skin would benefit from some additional skin tightening measures to make sure the liposuction doesn't cause your skin to sag or get even more lax after the procedure. The good news is based on these pictures i think if your goal was just to improve the athletic nature of your abdomen you could achieve excellent results with VASER.

In my experience, you appear to be an excellent candidate for Vaser liposuction.

This will remove stubborn fat and tighten skin in most patients. This is a minimally invasive procedure and avoids large scar and long recovery after tummy tuck.

An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.

Thanks for posting the photos. There is some fullness in the lower half of the abdomen and Vaser liposuction can certainly help reduce this. This can also be used to give more definition to the abdomen. There is some skin laxity which will remain afterwards as will the stretch marks.

Based on your nicely post of photos, I recommend liposuction with Jay plasma over vasal liposuction in my opinion. Fee ranges from five to $8000. Best of virtual council.

Having children does not change your fat distribution.
When choosing a procedure, it’s important to start by having a clear understanding of what the underlying problem or ideology is.
There are four tissue variables that determine what the abdomen looks like.
These are.
1) abdominal skin laxity typically due to previous pregnancies or weight loss.
2) excess subcutaneous fat.
3) muscle separation from previous pregnancies.
4) excess visceral or intra-abdominal fat.
Whenever somebody comes in and says they don’t like the way their abdomen looks, and it is generally always because of one or more of these for variables.
Depending which variable is primary, which is secondary, which is tertiary, etc. helps determine what procedure is going to give a good outcome.
The two variables that have to do with pregnancy are skin laxity and muscle separation.
You don’t look like your subcutaneous fat layer is particularly thick.
I’m guessing it’s about 1/2 inch or maybe 3/4 of an inch.
 the primary problem is muscle separation, and your abdominal wall is no longer creating a bee line between the sternum and the pubic bone, which is the insertion and origin of the abdominal muscles.Bulging of the abdominal wall can be seen in individuals with excess visceral fat as well.
Because the problem is not excess subcutaneous fat Liposuction is only going to have a moderate impact and will leave you looking more or less the same with a thinner, fat distribution.
The bulging appearance will still be there.
The best patient for Liposuction are young women who have not had children.
Pregnancy related changes are best treated with a full tummy tuck, which primarily treats, abdominal skin laxity, and or muscle separation.
No one has to have a tummy tuck. Just don’t expect Liposuction to give you a tummy tuck result
Essay mentioned in the beginning. It’s important to understand the ideology or to make an accurate assessment or diagnosis before prescribing an operation.
I suggest having a few in person, consultations with plastic surgeons in your community to get a better assessment and understanding of treatment options.
Finally, for those who do choose Liposuction recognize the delivering, consistent quality liposuction results is not nearly as easy as most people think.
The number of providers who have mastered this procedure is actually quite low.
Most plastic surgeons think they’re better at Liposuction than they actually are.
Best,
