5'5", 165lbs, 37yo, 2 kids - do I look like I will have loose skin with just lipo & BBL? (Photos)

Hi Independent202566,
Loose skin after liposuction is a very common concern. Most women that have had kids or carried additional weight in their midsection are certainly at risk for loose skin after liposuction. Everyone's body is different and there is no magic formula that predicts loose skin. If skin removal surgery is not an option for you, consider adding other modalities to your procedures such as Renuvion aka J-plasma to help you achieve the look you are going for.

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos, I note a relatively full abdomen and full flanks. Unfortunately your lower abdomen is covered so I cannot comment upon skin laxity of the abdomen. Your buttocks appear relatively small.From what I can see, you appear to be a satisfactory candidate for BBL.Clogged pores? No problem...Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion.Best wishes...

Hello @Independent202566, thank you for your question and showing your pictures. Ideally, a patient should undergo a personalized consultation with a surgeon, during which a surgical plan tailored to the patient's expectations will be presented. The only way to determine whether or not you have muscle diastasis or whether your skin will retract properly is through a virtual or face-to-face assessment. For more information and recommendations, consult one or several board-certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
