I had a full tummy tuck 2 years ago, was happy with the results but I carry fat around my middle. Above my belly bottom particularly. I have no waist line so wondered if I had lipo of flanks and upper abdomen would it give me a better shape or would it leave me with more loose skin. Or would a fleur de lis and lipo give me a better overall shape. I know scarring would be worse but my tummy is pretty scared already. I want to lose weight (5kg) prior to any surgery which is likely 5 months away.
38 Y/O. 5 '7. Currently 170lbs. Want to lose to 15 to 20lbs. Should that happen b4 surgery consults? Ive fluctuated 145lbs to 240lbs in past 20 years. Constant yoyo. Had breast lift, reduction, and implants 2010. 2 babies via cesarean AFTER. Gained A TON of weight with each. Constant up and down ha made everything like look melting icecream :( No matter my weight. I'm ALWAYS a super apple body. No waist. Zero hips. FLAT butt. Can anything actually change my shape? Tummy tuck? Bbl? Lipo??
I had a tummy tuck, with muscle plication + lipo 12 weeks ago.While there is a great improvement overall, I think I had greater expectations of a flatter tummy. At times I still look slightly pregnant. I have always been an apple shape, never carried much weight, but when I did it went to my tummy, lending me to look pregnant even when not. I thought I would shake this look after the tummy tuck but not really. Does this look right, or can it be fixed? Could my muscles need extra strengthening?
Im 5'5 about 178lbs. I was 209lbs. I have an apple body shape & I'm scheduled to get a tummy tuck in about 7 weeks. My goal weight is 165lbs but I dont know that I will make it. Based on my schedule, I took this summer off to have this surgery & I don't want to cancel it.
My body shape means most of my fat goes to my stomach. Fat refuses to go to my breasts, arms and legs. What happens post tummy tuck? Will the fat go back there, or choose somewhere else? Just nervous I'll be swapping one problem for another, or have the results ruined.
I have an apple body shape weigh 145 at 5'7. Although the rest of me is slim, my belly fat never leaves. To create a waist I need to lose two-three inches off each side and a small pouch in front. I have been considering laser-lipo instead of a tummy tuck, since I have no loose skin. But if I use laser-liposuction--won't I get loose skin? What are the pros and cons?
