What would be the best treatment to get rid of the dark line under my stomach fat? (Photo)

Question

Should I get Co2 laser? Liposuction? 3rd photo is inspiration. I have really firm tight skin so believe I'd be suitable for liposuction, I'd like to be even curvier with a natural looking BBL. But most important to me is the shadow. I've seen women with bigger stomachs than me without this line. Please advise :) thank you

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a good candidate for liposuction. This will get rid of that problem area and help you achieve your goal in the third photo.

From your photos and description it seems you are a good candidate for liposuction.  You can consider adding J Plasma for additional skin tightening.  If you still have lax skin after the procedure you'd need to consider a tummy tuck to address it.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Like others have stated, liposuction would be the place to start. This should help decrease the fat that is creating the fold. Afterwards, if your skin did hang then you may benefit from a mini tummy tuck.

You are a great candidate for liposuction because you  don't have any stretch marks and seem to have normal weight. The shadow is made in the lower because of fat above and below in the pubis and dense skin and tissue under that line. 
BBL cannot be "natural" and gives you a fatty behind and not an athletic look which is more natural.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

I would suggest starting with liposuction to remove the excess fat above your line. Once that is gone, the skin will be flatter and the shadowing effect should be gone.
