Answer: Considering options From the photos it appears you will have the best results from a tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring and liposuction for the arms. It does not appear that an arm lift is needed to improve the shape. Liposuction alone of the abdomen would not be sufficient and would result in too much skin laxity. The tummy tuck would remove excess subcutaneous fat and skin as well as correct abdominal wall laxity. The liposuction would further contour and enhance the tummy tuck results.

Answer: Body Contouring Hello and thank you for providing photos. It does appear that you are a candidate for contouring of your arms and abdomen. For your abdomen, abdominoplasty with lipo would be a great aesthetic change. You could even consider back and posterior flank liposuction to enhance shape. Depending on your arm skin quality, arm lipo will aid in debulking and contouring but a brachioplasty (skin removal) may be recommended if skin doesn't have great elasticity.

Answer: Tummy tuck Thank you for the photos. I absolutely recommend a tummy tuck for the abdomen. Liposuction alone will not address the extra skin, and if you have diastasis (muscle separation), that is not fixed with liposuction. A modern tummy tuck includes liposuction and muscle repair at the same time.

Answer: Liposuction or Liposuction with Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question, and those photos are really helpful! Focusing solely on liposuction for your back and abdomen can make a significant difference. However, I believe you'll be even more satisfied with the results if you combine it with a tummy tuck. Although the recovery for a tummy tuck is more involved compared to liposuction alone, it ensures that you won't experience any loose skin on your stomach. Additionally, it provides a pubic lift simultaneously.
