Surgeon told me I can do a mini tummy tuck or a full with a vertical scar more than likely. He then said I'm also a candidate for lipo and jplasma. I'm so torn! I am a mom of 4 and super active but I would love to avoid a scar if I don't "need" it. I don't mind my stretch marks but I don't want my stomach to turn into a wrinkled mess either.

Answer: Full tummy tuck Due to the loose skin you appear to have, a full tummy tuck would be most likely be more suitable for you. Liposuction alone would worsen the loose skin.

Answer: Liposuction vs Tummy tuck Thank you for submitting your question and photos! Just doing Liposuction of your abdomen will cause more laxity to occur therefore creating more excess skin. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is going to remove that excess skin while also incorporating liposuction and muscle repair. I recommend scheduling a consult appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can create a surgical plan that is best for you and your goals.

Answer: Tummy Tuck or Liposuction Thank you for your question and photos. It appears that you have excess skin in lower abdomen, as well as fatty deposits. Your abdominal muscles have probably separated from having 4 children. In my opinion a short scar tummy-tuck, or mini-tummy tuck with liposuction will address all your issues. It can tighten your abdominal muscles, remove excess skin, and contour with liposuction. I do not see the need for a vertical scar.
