Liposuction: Info, Prices, Photos, Reviews, Q&A

The “muffin top” is one of the areas that responds best to liposuction.

Ideal candidates have fullness in the hip/ flank area with good skin quality.

Most patients report some soreness after the procedure, but recovery is usually quite easy and patient satisfaction is extremely high. (Lawrence Iteld, MD, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)

Usually liposuction works well to decrease the size of a muffin top. If you have loose skin, then a tummy tuck may be a better option.

You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a complete evaluation. (Brian Widenhouse, MD, Charleston Plastic Surgeon)

After having children, in addition to the muffin top, you will also have rectus diastasis which can only be fixed with a tummy tuck. (John L. Burns Jr., MD, Dallas Plastic Surgeon)

Having children will change our bodies.However it is possible, that liposuction alone is the answer.

Remember with liposuction – the fat that is removed will return to new areas if you don’t lose ten pounds after your surgery.(Elizabeth Morgan, MD, PhD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)

If there is no excess skin, liposuction may be beneficial. If you have any loose skin, a tummy tuck should be considered to allow removal of the skin. (David A. Lickstein, MD, Palm Beach Gardens Plastic Surgeon)
