Hi, I’m not 100% comfortable with the commitment of hip to hip scar, but I’d like a more sculpted tummy. Do I qualify for flanks and lower abdomen Lipo or do I need a tummy tuck too? If I need TT.. Note I’m a mom of 2, no csection. Thanks!

Answer: Tummy tuck? Ok bottom line, is everything is compared to how tight a full tummy tuck (and some side/back lipo) can get you... which is really, really tight! So with that in mind, 3D sculpting with liposuction 360 around your torso combined with an energy based treatment such as InMode's BodyTite and Morpheus is definitely an alternative to a full tummy. If there is just a little loose skin at the bottom, a skin excision in the same area as a Csection scar could be also done. IF muscle tightening is needed, then a mini Tummy Tuck with liposuction is also an option. This step-wise thinking is probably best planned by seeing a board certified plastic surgeon in person. Avoid any "cosmetic" surgeon who does not show his or her certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons.

Answer: Am I a good candidate for just liposuction or do I need tummy tuck? Hello @rettedgui, thank you for your question and showing your pictures. Yes, a tummy tuck combined with liposculture 360 can give you the results you want. I would recommend a modified mini lipectomy. I would also recommend liposculture as a body contouring procedure to define more your abdomen and waistline. Together, these procedures will give you a more defined and slim appearance. I would encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During your consultation, your surgeon will be able to assess your unique needs and develop a treatment plan that is right for you. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
