Tummy tuck alone or with liposuction? (Photo)

From your current
photographs it seems as though you'll be a good candidate for full tummy tuck
with muscle tightening and possibly some liposuction of the flanks.

You seem to be having
good success with your weight loss. I always recommend to my patients
that they arrive at their stable wait before they embark upon surgery.
Stable weight does not always meanrail thin ,what it means a weight that you
feel comfortable at and can maintain without starving yourself.

You don't want to starve
herself just before surgery because it will make it more difficult to
heal. You don't want to lose a lot of weight after your surgery because
the skin may become even looser once again.

So
it's looks as though you're doing everything right and well on your way to
tummy tuck but try to accomplish your weight loss goals before you proceed

If you have liposuction completed, you only would need a small amount along the flanks to optimize your tummy tuck results. This is often included as part of the tummy tuck procedure. Completing liposuction of a different body location such as the thighs or the back would be completely up to you. A tummy tuck alone with minimal flank liposuction will give you great results.

Thank you for the question. Tummy tuck and liposuction address different needs so it would help to conduct an in-person exam to give you an individualized answer. 
A tummy tuck offers the most effective way to correct loose skin and muscle separation in addition to eliminating excess fat. Liposuction will also remove fat, but it can't address flabby, hanging skin that typically persists after weight loss. For this reason, many patients who have experienced a massive weight loss or recent pregnancy tend to opt for a tummy tuck. This procedure can also be combined with liposuction for maximum effect. 
The bottom line is a full tummy tuck will not only remove excess fatty tissue, but also eliminate excess skin and correct abdominal muscles that have been separated and weakened by lack of physical activity or pregnancy. 
An in-person exam with a board certified plastic surgeon is always the best way to fully assess your needs and address your concerns. Best of luck! 
 
 
 

I agree you seem to be a great candidate for a full tummy tuck with some flank liposuction. As always confirm the plans with your surgeon at the preop appt to make sure everyone is on the same page. Surgeons' approaches to tummy tucks can vary, and how and where they do lipo and how much they undermine are variables that depend on the individuals anatomy, where they have excess, and also surgeons experience. In general flank lipo is safe with a full tummy tuck, but liposuction of the tummy tuck flap in a full tummy tuck can be risky. Be sure to discuss with your surgeon thoroughly. 

Thank you for the pictures.A tummy tuck in combination with liposuction in the waist, upper and lower back with fat grafting to the buttock will definitely enhance your body shape.Dr. Campos
