I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to discuss your concerns and learn more about options.  Liposuction can remove subcutaneous fatty pockets.  If there is skin laxity it may be addressed with J Plasma.  Liposuction cannot remove visceral fat of the abdomen, which is the fat around your organs behind your abdominal wall.  I've included a video about what liposuction can and cannot do that I hope you find helpful.

Hello and thank you for your question! Without seeing what condition your body is in currently it is hard to say what would work best for you in achieving your goals. If your concern is regarding excess fat and loose skin around the abdomen and back, then an abdominoplasty with liposuction would be advisable. Additionally, liposuction to the legs could help take care of the excess leg fat that you complain of. It would be best to see a plastic surgeon in-office for proper evaluation to see what procedures and techniques would work best for you and your aesthetic goals.

Dear Chanel sweetheart,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

While it is very difficult to tell from the submitted pictures, it sounds as if some weight gain and loss has stretched your skin. In these situations, skin excision is typically required in order to improve your shape. Liposuction will remove subcutaneous fat but will not tighten skin well. Your area has many skilled body contouring surgeons. I would ensure to have several consults and find a surgeon whose plan you are comfortable with.

It would be very difficult to suggest anything based on these photos. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in body contouring is recommended. Good luck.
