Not sure: Liposuction is what you need done. May require a tummy tuck to get rid of the saggy belly.

Prob Not Indicatated: Most patients in your situation, do not benefit from liposuction surgery alone. Tummy tuck surgery is usually indicated for patients with your history. Of course, accurate advice would require in-person consultation. Make sure that you seek consultation with board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes.
