What procedure is right for my B-shaped abdominal area? CoolSculpting, SlimLipo, tummy tuck? (photos)

Asked By:bonnieirisheyes in Washington, DC

I am a 5'4 woman, 150 pounds. In the last four years I've lost approximately 60 pounds from a high of 210. I have always hated my abdominal area. Even at my lowest weight in the 130-135 lb range, I had this weird b-shaped pooch. I can't wear tight dresses, a bikini, or anything that pulls across my stomach. No amount of diet or exercise seems to have an impact on this area. Is this loose skin, or fat? Should I look for Coolsculpting, SlimLipo, Lipo, a tummy tuck? Any recommendations?
