I am considering lipo because no matter how much I diet and exercise I just can't get rid of my stomach fat. I have extremely bad stretchmarks due to being so small and having children, 3 to be exact. If I get the lipo will it cause my skin to sag? Will it improve the appearance of my stretchmarks or make them worse? When I suck my stomach in it looks horrible. Is this how I can expect my stomach to look after lipo? I don't want a tummy tuck. I just couldn't bare looking at that hideous scar. Please help.

Answer: Lipousction Candidate Or Not Given the amount of laxity and stretch marks, you are not the best candidate for liposuction and better for a tummy tuck. If you were okay with having some laxity but better contouring and decreased size, then liposuction would be okay if performed by a very well trained meticulous surgeon. It is not the type of liposuction that matters it is the person performing it. However, in your case, using ultrasound or laser may be benficial to help tighten the skin during the procedure. And post procedure Velashape or Venus radiofrequency treatments would be useful for skin tightening. Best, Dr. Emer.

Smartlipo will contour your body by removing unwanted fat deposits and tightening the skin. Consult with your surgeon to make sure this is the best option for you.
