So my orginal thought was to get a tummy tuck after i lost about 50lbs. Now i'm no where near a doctor so i sent him pictures and he recommended smart lipo. My main concern isn't so much the fat even though i'm having a hard time with this last little bit on my lower abs. My main concern is the skin.. What do you guys think? After smart lipo will my skin tighten up enough to have a flat stomach?
It is impossible to make a recommendation without a full exam. Looking and feeling your skin quality is absolutely necessary. I purchased my Smartlipo machine after being told by the company and other physicians how it tightened the skin. I feel that it tightens the skin is some patients a little bit. I was very disappointed to find that the hype is mostly hype. The reps from the laser companies (realize these machines cost about $125,000) keep pushing the "our new machine is even better" line but in the end I myself do not believe it. The tightening effect is no more in my opinion than seen with other types of liposuction such as ultrasound assisted liposuction. If you have very loose and damaged skin, the skin will be looser not tighter with any of these types of liposuction and you will need a tummy tuck. Don't believe the advertising that promises tummy tuck results with smartlipo. Ask the surgeon offering this procedure to see pictures of patients similar to you that he/she performed and not laser company stock photography. I wish I could answer your question specifically rather than being vague however I would suggest going to see a board certified plastic surgeon who has all of the technologies available to him/her so you can get some good advice!
I will be getting breast augmentation and smart lipo in my upper and lower abs in a few weeks. My dr told me today that their will only be two incisions for my smart lipo procedure--both incisions will be in my bellybutton--at 3o'clock and 6 o'clock.
Most of the reviews I've read on smart lipo include incisions beyond the bellybotton area but i'm not sure if that's due to the areas they're getting getting done. Will I get optimal results by going with only 2 incisions thru my belly button?
Smart lipo or liposuction in general involves multiple incisions to create cross hatching. If liposuction is performed in one plane only, the results are not as effective in my opinion. Talk to your doctor about this issue and ask them how they plan on getting cross hatching with only an umbilical approach. When you get a chance, please post your after pictures. I would be curious to see the result with only a belly button approach.
