I Have Loose Skin in Abdominal What Should I Do? (photo)

I am 22 yrs old i am very insecure about my stomach. I can not afford to have a tummy tuck for 2 reasons: a. can not afford to take time off work and b. the cost... Would I be an ideal candidate for smart lipo? or maybe even thermage? i dont care about the stretch marks i just want a flat tight stomach.. i have been going to the gym and not matter how much weight i loose my stomach remains the same.. I NEED HELP.. i also had my appendix removed hint the dot above what is suppose to be my navel.
A: No substitute for a tummy tuck None of the less invasive procedures, whether liposuction or skin tightening, will be of any value to you. I understand your feelings about the state of your abdomen. If you cannot afford surgery, perhaps you should consult one of the academic programs to see whether a highly reduced rate would apply to a teaching case.

Is Thermage Same As Ulthera?

I had their age to lift my neck, it did not really work. Now I am considering Uthera but would like to know if it is more effective than their age? Renee
A: Thermage and Ultera Are both non-surgical tightening mechanisms. There is a difference in the method of delivery but I am skeptical about both. They deliver very limited rejuvenation and tightening and most of the patients I see as a plastic surgeon require more aggressive treatment. I am reluctant to provide a service which I know will not produce a high level of patient satisfaction and prefer to use fillers for rejuvenation and for patients to save their hard earned money for surgery.

Thermage or CO2 Laser for Tightening the Skin on the Face?

I'm 41yrs old and considering Thermage or CO2Laser for tightening the skin on face, under eye and neck. I am starting to get a turkey neck. I'm not ready for surgery but I was told that in five years I'll be ready for surgery to git rid of the turkey neck. Also, I'm seeing fine lines around my mouth area. Also, I have got redness on my face except under my eyes. I think it's sun damaged. I was told by two doctors to get Thermage and one doctor to get CO2 laser.
A: CO2 laser, pixel, thermage, ulthera

Thermage is a non-inasive technique and C02 laser is an ablative technique. Co2 laser treatment will require a downtime of approcximately 3-7 days to heal the skin depending on the strength, depth and tightening required.. However, with the CO2 laser treatment results are a lot more pronounced in overall tightening the skin and even the skin pimentation. We routinely achieve excellent results in our patients.  There is a relatively new technique with no downtime and non-invasive known as Ulthera, which can also tighten the jwls and neck area. When you combine the two techniques together Ulthera or Thermage with fractional co2 laser (e.g Pixel) you get the best and most long lasting results in my experience – short of plastic surgery.
