This 67-year-old woman was bothered by the contour of her abdomen and hip rolls. She did not want a tummy tuck; she just wanted less thickness and better shape. We had a very thorough discussion about skin elasticity and the unlikelihood of her skin shrinking once the fat was removed from underneath. She would likely have loose skin and irregularities at her age. She understood the trade-off and proceeded with liposuction. Four months after her surgery, she is extremely happy with her shape. The irregularities due to poor elasticity do not bother her and she loves how her clothes fit.
