If you have belly fat that doesn't seem to go away with dieting and exercise and are considering some kind of cosmetic surgery to get rid of it - what is the best procedure? Is it a tummy tuck or liposuction?

According to Dr. Stephen Greenberg, a plastic surgeon in Manhattan, skin elasticity is the main factor in deciding whether a tummy tuck or liposuction is the best solution for a flatter stomach. He says that as a general rule women in their 40's who have given birth should opt for the tummy tuck rather than liposuction. Loose skin from childbirth or a large weight loss/gain would simply hang after liposuction.
