My bmi is 30%. A coordinator recommended lipo, but then I asked about a MMO. I know with a MMO very little lipo is performed. I really want a smaller waist. What would be best?

Answer: Tummy Tuck vs Liposuction Thank you for your question. A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of the abdominal muscle. The abdominal wall can be weakened after pregnancy and (or) significant weight gain & loss. By repairing the muscle, not only does the appearance of your abdominal area improve, but your core strength as well. The repair of the muscle will cinch your waist like an inner corset, which will accentuate your curves. Liposuction will remove excess fat from unwanted areas with some skin retraction. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Answer: Tummy tuck or liposuction? This is a very common question and it really comes down to an understanding as to where you fit on the tummy tuck/lipo chart. If you have a lot of excess skin then you are closer to the TT side but if your skin is good and you just have excess fat then you are closer to the liposuction side. Watch this video for a through explanation.
