Can I get a mini TT or LIPO? Will either help me? (photos)

Question

31, super fit, workout 4-6 days a week. Lower stomach always bulges. Endometriosis and tilted pelvis MAYBE it’s my organs but I feel deformed. Friends of mine who are much bigger than me still have stomachs that go flat down. Look pregnant at all times and worse when endo flares up. Have been looking at BA to balance out but thinking maybe I am candidate for a mini TT. Thoughts?

You h ave great quality skin. I would recommend likely just abdominal liposuction I would highly recommend seeing a board eligible or board certified plastic surgeon for a physical exam and accurate analysis with safe recommendations for potential surgical options. Best of luck!

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

An examination is needed to determine if the contour of your lower abdomen is from muscle wall laxity or excess fat.  If it is laxity then a mini tummy tuck would address that.  If it is simply a resistant fatty area then liposuction should give you good results.

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you to get a full Tummy Tuck with a lipo for better results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for.

Hi lovilovilovi,
I do not recommend a mini tummy tuck because you have no extra skin hanging, however examination of muscles in more important.  You might benefit from a little bit of liposuction and radiofrequency helium plasma (Renuvion) subdermal coagulation to help manage skin looseness that can develop with liposuction-can't tell in pictures, your plastic surgeon will be able to comment during examination.  Good luck-Dr. Doolabh

Dear lovilovilovi,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
