Smart Lipo/Vaser lipo in Houston. Would I benefit from it? (photos)

Question

I just came across vaser/lipo and want to know if i could benefit from it. I’ve been to a few consultations and have been told that after two kids I have good skin elasticity and my diastasis recti was in good shape however those doctors didnt specialize in vaser/Smart Lipo. I can’t afford the downtime of a tummy tuck and have seen some miracles performed with vaser. Would vaser/Smart Lipo give me good results?

Vaser can help melt away the fat underneath the skin which makes fat removal less traumatic and allows for easy of fat being removed.  You can look better with lipo but will have to diet and exercise post lipo to decrease the amount of intra abdominal fat to get you the look it sounds like you desire.See a vaser specialist in your area

Thanks for the question. Based on your photos, tummy tuck is a better option than smart lipo. I recommend you to contact a Board Certified Surgeon for consultation. I wish you all the best.

Marco A. Pelosi III, MD, FACOG, FACS · Answer

Your belly curves outward because of loose abdominal muscles beneath any fat on the surface. Removing the fat will not fix the curved out potbelly appearance. The only way to do this is via tummy tuck. Lipo can be done along the sides, flanks and back to add contouring and curvature, but the front is a tummy tuck repair. Nothing else will work. Losing a few pounds before your tummy tuck will reduce internal fat (visceral fat) and a give a maximum cosmetic effect.

Gregory Chambon, MD · Answer

A high percentage of your abdominal fat appears to be visceral (below the muscle) and is pushing your weakened muscles outward. Weight loss followed by tummy tuck looks to be your best option. Smart Lipo would give you a disappointing result.
