58kg, 156cm, 32 years old, 1 pregnancy - mini tummy tuck or Vaser liposuction? (Photos)

In my experience, Vaser ultrasound liposuction will remove stubborn fat and tighten skin without a mini tummy tuck.

You appear to have good skin and muscle which should make you an excellent candidate.

An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.

Dear rhinonose,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

It is difficult to assess the quality of your skin from your photos. If you still have firm and elastic skin, liposuction alone may be sufficient. However, if your skin is loose (as may be the case based on the creases just above your belly button) a full tummy tuck may be more suitable.

If your concern is your lower tummy pouch, I think liposuction alone will suffice as your skin has good elasticity. The only skin laxity issues that I see is above your umbilicus which would require a more complex skin removal. Thank you.

Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these photos, you would do well with VASER Hi Def Lipo of the abdomen, but if you want to achieve the best outcome, you would need liposuction 360 degrees to give you the smallest waistline possible. This is not an either or operation or just to get away with type of surgery. As a Total Definer surgeon, I do not believe that you need a mini tummy tuck. The surgical markings placed on you will give a very high scar which cannot be covered up by a bikini. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

You could do either lipo or a tummy tuck standard or mini. A full tummy tuck will give you the best result but is also the most expensive and toughest to recover from

Hello, thank you for the question and the pics. In my opinion you need a mini tuck and Vaser lipo for a good contour, I would even suggest abdominal etching. Bear in mind one minor detail, you appear to have a small area of cringed skin on top of your navel, which appears to be loose, thinned stretched skin, liposuction does not work properly on skin with those characteristics, but it's a fairly small area and the surrounding skin looks in pretty good condition

Hello, thanks for your question and photos. Remember that you must have an in-person consultation before making a decision. You may need both procedures. Liposuction to eliminate body fat in your belly and around your waist, and Mini Tummy Tuck to extract saggy skin and repair the area. Consult a plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck!

The correct procedure really depends on what you are hoping to achieve from surgery. If you are planning to have more children in the future it is best to have liposuction as future pregnancies can impact tummy tuck results. Liposuction is great for removing subcutaneous fatty pockets. JPlasma can be added for skin tightening. If you are wanting a flat tummy with correction of abdominal wall laxity then a tummy tuck is the way to go. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

I think you would do well with liposuction of your abdomen and flanks and EMSculpt to help tighten your abdominal muscles.
