I'm thinking of traditional Lipo but with so many other treatments now im wondering if there is one over the other that would best address my needs? I have stomach fat (2 children) along with some stretch marks . I'm 5'1 and weigh 123lbs.
Answer: Lipoabdominoplasty What you need is a lipoabdominoplasty which combines both liposuction with skin tightening in a single surgery. Please consider a virtual consultation with a high definition body contouring specialist to see what can be done for you.

Answer: Considering options An in person exam is needed to know for sure, but based on your description you will have the best outcome from a tummy tuck. Liposuction can be added for additional contouring. Stretch marks are not addressed with liposuction alone, but those below the belly button are removed with a tummy tuck. In addition, a tummy tuck will correct abdominal wall separation which is common with pregnancy. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more.

Answer: Post partum belly After kids, you can have a fat issue, a muscle issue, and or a skin issue. Fat is treated with lipo, muscle and skin with tummy tuck. If your skin folds when you bend over or sit, a tummy tuck can fix this as well as remove all the stretch marks from at least below your belly button. See a BC Plastic Surgeon, even virtually, and get the advice you need.

Answer: Surgery You did not post photos, so I cannot be specific. However, liposuction can remove excess fat. If you have some loose skin, radiofrequency skin tightening with Renuvion can work well. If you have a fair amount of skin, an tummy tuck might be needed.
