Q:

I had a full abdominoplasty three years ago. Since then I had a baby. I am now working out but my concern is that I may need another tummy tuck. Is this the best route to go or should I try liposuction?

A:

Most likely you do not need another full abdominoplasty. It could be that liposuction alone may be of benefit, or a mini-abdominoplasty may be useful. It depends if the problem is laxity of the abdominal wall from the pregnancies, or excess fat beneath the skin, or excess skin. A board certified plastic surgeon can readily advise you after a brief consultation and examination.
