Liposuction and Diastasis Recti for loose skin?

Many patients present who desire liposuction and have some abdominal wall separation who do NOT want surgery. Fortunately, we have an excellent option for these patients. We can perform tumescent liposuction without or with radiofrequency (BodyTite) to remove fat and tighten the skin. Following this we can use Emsculpt Neo. Multiple clinical studies document that four (4) Emsculpt Neo treatments one a week will increase abdominal muscle by 25%, and reduce abdominal muscle separation by 20%. Our patients love the combination of treatments.

From your photo liposuction alone is not a good choice. A tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring would correct the abdominal wall laxity as well as remove excess fat and skin. The result would be a tighter, flatter tummy. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.

Your abdominal wall protrudes anteriorly and liposuction will not be effective in correcting this. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.
