I'm looking to get an hourglass shape and not end up with loose skin. Would vaser lipo 360 and bbl be good enough? At the same time not looking forward to have a difficult recovery and a large scar that comes with TT and BBL. Would getting Vaser lipo 360 and bbl affect getting a tummy tuck in the future if needed due to scare tissue developing after lipo . I currently stand at 5"2 154 pounds , BMI 28.16. Thank you for reading and giving advice.

Answer: Would Vaser lipo 360 and BBL be good enough to tighten my skin and contour my body, or would a tummy tuck be better? (photos) You could have the short scar TT performed first; then the lipo and BBL several months later. However, the result will not be as tight as lipo and BBL first and then short scar TT. Both can be performed at the same time, but the upper abdomen cannot be aggressively liposuctioned at the time of the TT due to blood supply issues. In recovery, you will not be able to rest on your stomach or back comfortably. Also, resting on your back may compromise the fat grafting result. I perform these two procedures hundreds of times each per year, because many of my patients only want to go through surgery and recovery one time. You and your PS should make that decision based upon patient goals and anatomy.

Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Dear BelieveandAchieve, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
