Velashape after Liposuction is probably a waste of money

It would be helpful if you posted a picture, or to tell us how much weight you lost.  But judging from what you are saying, it sounds like you have pleny of loose skin and Velashape is not going to help.

I don't know if you have had any pregnancies but a tummy tuck may be the procedure you are looking for to remove the excess skin.

Velashape is not magical and I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon for advice if your doctor is not.

Hope that helps.

I do utilize VelaShape for many of my patients following liposuction. It does help with skin tightening for those with mild laxity; however, we combine it with ReFirme laser treatments as well to get enhanced results. I do think it is important to not 'oversell' these modalities as they will not replace appropriate surgical treatments such as a tummy tuck in the patient who has excessive laxity.

Some doctors who use Velashape after Liposuction may find the results good. However, it is not a replacement for surgical excision for loose skin. I think it is a good modality for patients with mild to moderate loose skin. You mentioned that you lost a lot of weight, so that could change the equation. If you have excess skin that you can grab in the palm of your hands, lipo and velashape might not do it. Hope that helps!
