Tummy Tuck Vs Laser-lipo? (photo)

You appear to be a good candidate for liposuction.  Don't think you need a tummy tuck.  The laser is a great device, but it really does not have an advantage when it comes to liposuction (despite all the claims).  The most important consideration is the skill of your surgeon.  If liposuction is done properly, your skin is unlikely to get loose after your liposuction and put you in a position that you now need a tummy tuck to deal with it (it may be no tighter but is unlikely to be looser).  Have a look at before and after photos of patients who look similar to you and see what you think.  I've attached a link to this portion of my website.

Hello,

Thank you for the question and photo.  Although we all have some laxity it does not appear you have enough laxity to warrant a tummy tuck.  I think liposuction done well regardless of the modality will serve you well.  The key to good liposuction results is one part good patient candidate one part good surgeon technique.  The modality of liposuction plays a minimal role.

All the best,
