Tummy tuck surgery will work better than Velashape

Brooke R. Seckel, MD answers: Should I get Velashape after liposuction?

My doctor recommended Velashape after liposuction to tighten the skin. I had vaser lipo and smart lipo, and I also lost a lot of weight after the procedure. Now the skin on my belly looks little loose , should I get Velashape and does it really work on abs to make the skin tighter ? thanks

Velashape has been used for several years and results, to me are very disappointing.

If laser liposuction twice did not tighten your skin then Velashape is not going to help, in my opinion.

You are better off considering surgical skin tightening-results are predictable and dependable if done by an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon.
