Answer: Tummy Tuck should be performed once you are finished having children. Lipo360 can be done now. The answer to this question depends on your goals at the end of your recovery. In the photos you presented there is excess fat (lipodystrophy) of the abdomen and hips that can be sculpted with liposuction of the abdomen, hips and back (lipo 360). If you add an energy source such as Renuvion or Bodytite to the procedure you will get some skin retraction with the liposuction alone. I can’t completely tell from the photo because the pants are covering the lower waistline but if you have hanging skin there, the best treatment will be a tummy tuck to remove the extra skin. If you are planning to have more children I would wait for the tummy tuck and just do the liposuction for now because if you have more children it can stretch the skin out again.

Answer: Tummy tuck or Liposuction 360 Dear Forceful844255, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Tummy Tuck & Liposuction Thank you for your questions and photos. A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of the abdominal muscle. The abdominal wall can be weakened after pregnancy and (or) significant weight gain & loss. By repairing the muscle, not only does the appearance of your abdominal area improve, but your core strength as well. The repair of the muscle will cinch your waist like an inner corset, which will accentuate your curves. Liposuction will remove excess fat from unwanted areas with some skin retraction. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck! Dhaval Patel MD Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Chicago South Barrington Oakbrook Orland Park
