Not sure what I need - tummy tuck vs liposculpture? (Photos)

Judging from your photos, you would benefit most from a lipo abdominoplasty procedure. This would help get rid of the excess fat as well as redundant skin following the liposuction.

For optimal outcome, please consult a fully qualified plastic surgeon, who has specialist qualification in plastic surgery 'FRCS Plast' after having being trained adequately in the field of plastic surgery, is registered on the 'Specialist register for Plastic surgery' with the General Medical Council and has been considered competent enough to be a member of the 'BAPRAS' (British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons) and 'BAAPS' (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) at the least.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for 360 Liposuction and BBL. In my opinion, you can avoid the tummy tuck but an evaluation of your skin laxity should be done in person. The breast reduction can be done together with the other procedures, but in my opinion your recovery will be smoother if this is done in a separate surgery. I hope this helps.

Although it is not possible to truly answer this question without an actual physical examination, your photos suggest you would achieve a substantially better outcome with a tummy tuck. You've submitted a couple of interesting photo views where your are partially bent at the waist. These photos in particular support the value of a tummy tuck over liposuction.

Dear HoodyStealer
Many thanks for your question and sharing your photos. It would be helpful to know if you have had children or have completed your family. Looking at your photos, I think you would get a great result with a TT and VASER/Liposuction of your waist line. The fat can be injected in your buttocks at the same session. The Breast reduction can also be done at the same time if that is what you wish but if healing time or finances are an issue then you can have Breast reduction separately.I hope you find this answer helpful.

Thank you for your question regarding whether you need a tummy tuck or liposuction. By examining your photos, your main issue is excess fat. However, once that fat has been removed with liposuction, you will be left with excess skin. I recommend that you do your procedure in two stages: liposuction + fat transfer to the buttocks (BBL), then in 3-4 months, come back for the breast reduction + tummy tuck. For BBL recovery, you'll want to be laying on your stomach. You'll want to be laying on your back for breast reduction and tummy tuck recovery. You want to get liposuction in stage one to get optimal fat from your abdomen, back, and arms (if you wish).

I hope this answer helps. I think this combination of procedures will give you great results. I wish you the best of luck!

Sincerely,

Dr. Katzen

Thank you for your question. If you are considering a BBL, it includes 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. So, liposuction would not be a separate procedure. That said, I perform many BBL and tummy tuck combo procedures. I would recommend getting a proper evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

HelloThank you for the question,Yes, both procedures are safe to done at the same time. You ideally need to stay in hospital for one night.Looking at the photos, you will benefit from tummy tuck, repair of muscles and liposuction to flanks.Best wishes

Thank you for your question and pictures. i would recommend you a tummy tuck with liposuction for betters results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for

You won’t be able to rest on your back after the Brazilian butt lift, but you also won’t be able to rest on your front after the tummy tuck and breast reduction. Therefore finding a comfortable position as you recover may be difficult if you got everything at once. Therefore, you may want to consider getting the BBL at a different time. A tummy tuck may also be more suitable for you based on your photos alone, as this would address the loose skin you appear to have.

Hi, This depends on your aims expectations and priorities. 360 Liposculpture and fat transfer to the hips and buttocks will help attain a sculpted hourglass figure, however, this may leave behind lax saggy skin which can be tightened later via a tummy tuck. I don't recommend having the BBL at the same time with the tummy tuck.
