Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Does lipo shrink the sagging skin?
Liposuction vs. Tummy Tuck
Dec 10, 2019
Great question. Liposuction is a highly effective fat reduction procedure that can reduce the excess fat of the subcutaneous layer, but it will not shrink loose skin. After reviewing your photos, I think that you would get a much nicer result from a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck will address loose abdominal skin and stretch marks, and will also tighten the abdominal wall. Liposuction alone would reduce the excess abdominal fat but will likely exacerbate the appearance of your loose skin. I…
Can the bottom part of my stomach be taken care of with just lipo?
Tummy Tuck
Dec 10, 2019
Your photos indicate that you are dealing with loose skin of the lower abdomen, which will limit the results achievable with liposuction. Liposuction can address excess fat of the subcutaneous layer of your abdomen and flatten its appearance, but will likely exacerbate the appearance of loose skin. For this reason, I think a tummy tuck will likely provide a nicer result. With that said, an in-person evaluation will be necessary to make a proper recommendation. I recommend setting up a…
Do I need a lift or will implants be enough?
Breast Augmentation
Dec 10, 2019
An evaluation in-person will be necessary to properly advise you, but based on your photos alone, I think that you can most likely achieve a nice result without a breast lift. Provided that the implants are of a large enough size to add adequate volume, I think breast implants alone will likely provide you with enough lift. I recommend setting up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to devise a treatment plan that suits your needs. Best of luck with your future procedure.
Should I get a mini tummy tuck or full?
Tummy Tuck
Nov 26, 2019
Based on your photos, I think you are a better candidate for a full tummy tuck. A tummy tuck will tighten the abdominal muscles and address the excess skin, giving your abdomen a flatter and more contoured appearance. A mini tummy tuck will not really address the loose abdominal tissues above your belly button. I recommend setting up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to formulate a treatment plan that best meets your needs.
Can I get away with just lipo to stomach/flanks or should I also have a full tummy tuck or a min
Liposuction
Nov 22, 2019
It is difficult to make a determination without an in-person assessment, but based on your photos, I think you could get a nice result from liposuction as you appear to have good skin quality. Liposuction will reduce excess abdominal fat, giving your abdomen a more contoured appearance. With that said, an in-person assessment of your skin quality will be needed to make a final recommendation. I recommend that you set up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your…
Am I a good candidate for tummy tuck?
Tummy Tuck
Nov 22, 2019
Thank you for your question. I think you would get a nice result from a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck will address your excess skin, giving your abdomen a flatter and more contoured appearance. Based on the photos you provided, I think your tummy tuck results would be further enhanced with liposuction of the hips and bra strap areas. I recommend setting up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss this further.
Does lipo work on a mommy belly with tight skin?
Liposuction Candidacy
Oct 17, 2019
Your photos indicate that you are likely dealing with some laxity of the abdominal wall, which will limit the results achievable with liposuction. Liposuction alone will address any excess fat of the subcutaneous layer of your abdomen, but will do nothing do address the laxity of your abdominal wall. With that said, an in-person evaluation will be necessary to make a proper recommendation. I recommend setting up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the…
Is liposuction a possibility?
Liposuction
Oct 17, 2019
Thank you for your question. An in-person evaluation will be necessary to make a certain determination, but based on your photos, I think that you are a good candidate for liposuction of the abdomen. You appear to have sufficient skin elasticity, especially after having 2 children, to get a nice result from liposuction . With that said, I recommend that yo set up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best procedure to meet your needs. Best of luck with…
Is this a double bubble?
Double Bubble
Oct 17, 2019
I am sorry to hear about your concerns. Based on your photos, it does appear that you are suffering from a double bubble deformity. This occurs when the previous infra-mammary fold creates a crease in the lower-pole of the breast as the implant extends below it. A revision procedure will likely be needed to correct this. I would advise that you reach out to your surgeon to discuss your options. Best of luck.
How do I get an hourglass shape? My belly button looks horrible, fat around my stomach & hip dip
Body Contouring
Aug 29, 2019
Based on your photos, I think that you would obtain a nice result from liposuction of the hips. The best procedure to address the abdominal area depends on what your goals are. If you are simply looking to reduce the size of your abdomen and contour the waist area, I think that liposuction would give you a nice improvement. However, the shape of your belly button indicates to me that you have some degree of loose skin, which can only be addressed with a tummy tuck procedure. If you are…
Can I get away with just lipo or do I need a tummy tuck as well?
Liposuction
Aug 29, 2019
Thank you for your question. The most suitable procedure for your needs is dependent on a number of factors. Liposuction may be an option for you to help slim your abdomen. This would be dependent on on your skin quality and how thick the subcutaneous fat layer is. This would need to be assessed in person. With that said, your photos indicate that you may have some laxity of the abdominal wall as well, which can only be addressed with a tummy tuck. I advise that you set up a consultation…
Do I need a full lift in order to get implants?
Breast Lift
Aug 29, 2019
Thank you for your question. Your photos indicate that a full breast lift would be necessary in your case, as you appear to have a significant amount of breast “sag”, with a lot of breast tissue below your infra-mammary crease. A breast lift will address breast droopiness and improve your overall breast shape. If you are also looking for an increase in breast volume or upper-pole fullness, a breast lift with implants is an option to consider as well. I would advise that you set up a…
Liposuction of the flanks without touching the abdomen?
Liposuction
Aug 7, 2019
An in-person examination will be necessary to give you a proper recommendation but from what I can see, you appear to be a good candidate for liposuction of the posterior hips or “flanks”. This area can be treated without performing liposuction of the abdomen at the same time. Liposuction will improve the appearance of the back of the hips and waist, giving you a slimmer appearance. I recommend setting up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best of …
Would liposuction be enough? Or what is the minimum surgery for good results?
Liposuction
Aug 7, 2019
Thank you for your question. An in-person evaluation will be necessary to make a proper recommendation, but based on your photos, I think that you are a good candidate for liposuction of the abdomen. You appear to have sufficient skin elasticity to yield a nice result from liposuction alone. It is hard to tell from your photos whether you are dealing with any laxity of the abdominal wall. If there is significant muscle laxity of the lower abdomen, you may obtain a nicer result from a mini…
Would Smart Lipo be beneficial for me?
SmartLipo
Aug 1, 2019
Thank you for your question. An in-person evaluation will be necessary to make a proper recommendation, but based on your photos, I think that you would obtain a nice result from Smarlipo of the abdomen and hips. You appear to have sufficient skin quality to yield a nice result from liposuction alone, although you may be left with a small amount of loose skin. With that said, I recommend setting up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best procedure to suit…
