Hello.
I had Lipo on my tummy and on my flanks. Two things I had wished I had done differently.
1. Got a third opinion.
2.Had a tummy tuck.
After diet and exercise my big tummy continues to hang on to me. :(

Hi, I just had a tummy tuck 3 weeks ago. I think tummy tucks are needed only when no amount of exercise can help. In my case, my inner muscles were so weak from 2 previous pregnancies, that no matter how much work I did on my belly, the bulge and stretched skin would never go away. A tummy tuck should be the last option for any one because tummy tuck is very painful and leaves a huge scar. I was on opiod pain killers for a 1-2 weeks. And now have a huge dark scar (the ends of the scar at the belly button level, so no low-cut jeans or bikini for me).
Judging by your pictures, which are very very nice, I think you might be much better off by just losing 10 or 15 pounds, plus some flexing. It seems that your belly is already quite flat.

Lipo in tummy/flanks
7 months later. I feel like I should have gone with the tummy tuck. I don't see a big difference with the lipo on my tummy but slight change on my flanks. I regret not getting a 3rd opinion .

I was you 4 years ago! I was 38 though with 3 kids but similar looking tummy. It looked like I didn't have kids. I met with 4 surgeons, all suggesting lipo. I paid 6500 without significant redults :(. I did see some difference but honestly not much. Here we are 4 years later except 42 years young and a 4th child. Still not a single stretch mark but More abdomen chub. Went for consultation different drs. Same approach from them!! Telling me why lipo is better option, I said "no way". Ill keep looking. Im ok with a scar. Im not in these offices to be told I look ok and to accept my body. I want a surgeon that says we can get you max results with x and not y! I learned hard way :(
Thank you for responding, I'm sorry you and I didn't get the results we wanted.
I feel like I should have gottten more for my money. :(
