Hi, I am wanting to fix my tummy (amongst other things), and am thinking about a tummy tuck. After the birth of my second child I was told I had a very wide separation which may require surgery to repair, plus I have a pouch of fat that's not shifting. One doctor has recommended a tummy tuck, and one has recommended lipo. Both recommendations have come from photos only so far, as I live in a very remote part of Australia. What would you recommend based on the pictures?

Answer: Tummy tuck or lipo? Tummy tuck would be a better option to address the abdominal wall laxity.Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of tummy tuck procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: TT or Lipo ? As everyone already mentioned it is very tough to tell from one picture and not being able to examine you. On the other hand pregnancies leave separation of muscles and excess of skin except in a very few lucky females. Therefore likely you will need an Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck). Very often a Liposuction is a part of your Tummy tuck. To be able improve your appearance with Liposuction alone would be the exception and not the rule. See a Plastic Surgeon and I would imagine he can improve your appearance dramatically.
