I had a child 6 months ago and went from a relatively flat stomach to having some lower belly fat, I was 135lbs pre-pregnancy and I’m 145lbs now and 5’4. I am wondering if smart lipo would be an option to help flatten my stomach or even with a combo of that and 10lb weight loss could achieve that result. I seriously do not want a tummy tuck under any circumstance I hate the scar and the way the belly buttons look- very unnatural.

Answer: How flat can you make your stomach without a tummy tuck? This is the most common question in the world. The answer is: it depends. It depends on what's causing your abdomen to NOT be flat. In your case, it's three things: loose muscles, loose skin, and little bit of fat. Fix all of them and everything will be flat and tight. Remove only the fat and nothing else and the loose skin will get looser and wrinkle, the potbelly will still be there, and you'll be only slightly flatter. If you don't want a tummy tuck because of the belly button scar, check out the scarless belly button on the video link or consider a mini tuck. If you don't want a scar, hit the gym and see if that helps, because lipo alone won't make you happy.

Answer: Flat abdomen Dear Aoxe2000, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would have some loose skin after liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
