Looking to Have Smart Lipo From a Doctor that is Fare in Price. Also if Smart lipo works on a Mother's Apron Belly? I really dont want to do a tummy tuck due to the scaring and recovery time. Can anyone please give advice or maybe a doctor can help make some suggestion or even help me out?
Answer: It depends on how 'hanging' the area is whether this will work or not.
While the term hanging typically means that liposuction won't work, I have seen hundreds of patients where the combination of tumescent liposuction along with SmartLipo worked beautifully for this concern. It all has to to with the combination, as well as knowing expectations.
Most plastic surgeons start off by doing a 'tummy tuck/abdominoplasty', while most dermatologists start off by either doing tumescent liposuction/SmartLipo or referring to a plastic surgeon for tummy tuck. There is no right or wrong unless it is hopeless to consider liposuction. You can go to my site to see some pictures of patients that succeeded, despite NOT having a tummy tuck.
Good luck!

Answer: Smartlipo not enough for pannus If you have an apron of fat and skin hanging below your waist, liposuction is not the best option. A tummy tuck is better. Smartlipo may help you get rid of excess fat, but it won't substantially improve the shape of your stomach because of the loose skin.

Answer: Smart Lipo will not correct Redundant Skin from Tummy Apron
Smart lipo, actually any liposuction procedure by itself will not remove the apron of skin redundancy you describe. From your description you will need removal of this skin which is a type of tummy tuck/abdominoplasty. Seek the evaluation and guidance of a board certified plastic surgeon

Answer: Liposuction Candidate?
Thank you for the question.
Based on your description, I am concerned that you will not be a good candidate for liposuction surgery.
“Ideal” liposuction patient candidates present with isolated diet and exercise resistant adipose tissue collection, with overlying skin that demonstrates adequate elasticity ( to “bounce back” after the adipose tissue has been removed).
Furthermore, good skin elasticity is an important attribute of the patient undergoing liposuction surgery. As we age we generally lose some skin elasticity. After the liposuction procedure we are depending on the skin elasticity to allow the skin envelope to “shrink” to fit the reduced contour resulting from the liposuction procedure.
I would suggest in-person consultation with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.
