Lipo vs. tummy tuck for diastasis recti from 2 c-sections with abdominal mesh?

Tummy Tuck- Medical optimization, including anesthesia risks
May 11, 2021

Based on your limited photos, you would appear to anatomically benefit from some sort excisional body contouring procedure. The advantage of a full tummy tuck (with or without liposuction) over panniculectomy with liposuction of selective areas is that the former addresses diastasis recti (abdominal muscle laxity). It is difficult to definitively tell whether you are a good candidate without a physical examination and complete medical history. However your mentioning of ‘hyperthermic…

Do I need a full tummy tuck or a mini?

Full Tummy Tuck vs Mini
May 11, 2021

Based on your limited photo, it is difficult to definitively comment on whether you may be anatomically a candidate for a full tummy tuck. It is difficult to tell whether you are a good candidate without a physical examination and complete medical history. It would depend on your anatomical findings, motivation, realistic expectations, and whether your self professed diastasis is something you want addressed. A mini-tummy tuck can encompass a C-section scar revision and treat laxity below…

I’m not sure if I need a tummy tuck, lipo in the abdomen and waist, or lipo 360 (or something else)?

Tummy Tuck advantage over Lipo?
May 11, 2021

The key factor and advantage of a tummy tuck over liposuction is that it specifically address any midline muscle laxity, referred to as “diastasis recti.” While difficult to definitively say from your photographs, your side profile picture lends towards you having a component of muscle laxity, with the focal outward bulge. You are best served seeing a board eligible/certified plastic surgeon in person, who can examine you and determine if this is indeed the case. Otherwise, treating the…

Does lipo alone suffice to reduce my Mons Pubis ? If so, can I do it under local anesthesia?

Adiposity vs Skin Laxity
May 11, 2021

The mons area is a common topic of discussion in abdominal body contouring consults. Its inferior location has it being further affected by the status, weight, and laxity of the abdomen superiorly. As such, it can be improved with a tummy tuck procedure (and often is when fascial anchoring techniques are employed) .
In regards to Liposuction alone. The answer depends on various factors, such as your skin’s retraction ability and the extent the local anatomy has “been stretched” over time….

Will I get drastic results from Power Assisted Lipo?

Larger Volume Power Assisted Lipo
Feb 2, 2021

You have mentioned key aspects to be mindful of with undergoing higher volume liposuction. One being that your skin won’t be tight, while there will be some skin retraction it would not be to the dramatic extent so as to have “tight skin.” Which brings me to my next point. Your appearance will have an improved contour, but also look “deflated.” You would be smaller and relatively flatter, but with a deflated feel. It is important that you are comfortable with this and have a good…

What nonsurgical procedures would be best as an alternative to a mommy makeover and how much improve

Options!
Dec 9, 2020

From your photos you have some mild breast asymmetry and abdominal lipodystrophy, more focal to the anterior abdomen, typically definitively treated with surgery- tummy tuck with breast lift/augmentation. But based on your endorsed aversion to TT and Breast surgery scars, you still have a few options. In regards to your abdomen/flanks employing liposuction with an energy adjunct (ultrasound assisted VASER or Radiofrequency modalities such as BodyTite) to not only address the moderate…

Could I be a candidate for buccal fat removal?

Buccal Fat Pad Reduction
Dec 9, 2020

The buccal fat pad contributes significantly to the contour of the cheek and lower face. It maintains a consistent volume throughout life and is less likely to fluctuate during growth or periods of weight loss/gain, which speaks to your comment of “always having had undefined cheeks.” While pictures are informative, it is best to couple this with a proper physical examination, in which the buccal fat is focally assessed (balloting the area superior and posterior to the jowl area, most…
