I am so tired of being unhappy in my own body because of my cellulite on my stomach. It’s to the point I want to have something done about it but don’t know what my options are. What would help reduce the visibility of the cellulite in my stomach area? Please help!

Thank you for your question concerning the optimal procedure to alleviate stomach cellulite, and for sharing your history and images. While an in-person consultation would provide a more accurate assessment, based on the information you've shared, the following advice might be pertinent:
Prioritize weight loss: Adopting a balanced diet and regular exercise regimen is the initial step. If you need additional assistance, consulting with a nutritionist, weight management specialist, or exploring FDA-approved injectables could be beneficial.
Evaluate post-weight loss: Once you've reached a stable weight, reevaluate your abdominal area. The presence of stretch marks and sagging skin may point to a need for a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).
Consider the nature of your skin: If you lack stretch marks and your weight loss has been moderate, your skin might retract sufficiently after liposuction. However, for targeted cellulite treatment, a tummy tuck typically yields superior results to liposuction.
In all scenarios, consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can provide personalized recommendations based on a comprehensive examination is crucial.
I wish you the best in your journey to address abdominal cellulite.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

It looks like you would be an excellent candidate for collagen induction therapy (CIT). It is very effective in treating various skin conditions, including cellulite. A few sessions may be needed.

Best of luck !
