My doctor says I'm not a candidate for full Tummy Tuck. My muscles need to be tightened but I see fat on top. He will lipo my flanks, waist & hips but I want my tummy done. He uses the "water jet" method to lipo. I am very athletic and healthy.

Generally a tummy tuck would include local fat reduction in addition to muscle tightening when needed. It is not clear from your question why you are not a candidate for a full tummy tuck so more information would be needed to offer specific advice.

All my life I have lived with the fact that one of my breasts is larger than the other. Now that I am 48 years old and all has headed south, I would like to know if fat from my stomach could be placed in my breast to even them out.

Fat transfer is an increasingly popular procedure and correction of volume asymmetry is a good use for it. Breast asymmetry is often more than just volume however, so a lift may be required and there are many options including implants, reduction of the larger breast, and so forth. Fat grafting may require more than one session.

I had silicone implants 20 years ago. I had them replaced with saline 9 years ago. My mammogram in June was normal. I've lost weight and noticed rippling in mid-August. I'm older and it's ok with me since it's not that unusual. Would it necessarily have to be corrected?

Rippling with saline implants is fairly common but it may contribute to implant "wear and tear" which could result in deflation of the implant. That is also a harmless event but you are entitled to have nice breasts at any age!
