A Panniculectomy falls short of a full tummy tuck
It looks like you had an insurance procedure called a Functional Abdominal Panniculectomy. An elective cosmetic tummy tuck would correct this but is not covered by insurance. I do not know of anything nonsurgical that would correct this result. I hope this helps.

Terrible Tummy Tuck Outcomes Very Difficult to Correct Completely
Hi there-
I'm very sorry that you are learning through experience what I try so very hard to prevent women from going through-
If you choose your surgeon poorly, or for the wrong reasons (most often low price), you may pay for the rest of your life, or even with it.
You need to find a talented surgeon Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery and discuss your options for improvement. I'm afraid achievement of a lovely and natural appearance may never be possible...

Revision
I am so sorry to see this outcome. I think you should see a board certified plastic surgeon to see what can be done to improve your results. Nothing short of surgical revision will be of significant help. Good luck!

Your courage is to be complimented. The result is less than acceptable. Only a revisional surgery can improve this result. Sorry.

Would a Arasys Fix my Lose Skin the Dr Left Me After a Tummy Tuck?
I have not seen a post-tummy tuck result like this before. A lower or mini tummy tuck was performed in a situation where a full tummy tuck was needed due to loose skin above the belly button. More unusually, the irregular scar is very high...I am not sure what the reason for that was. The scar should have been placed low, down beneath a lower bathing suit or pants line. There are irregularities in the upper tummy that look like some sort of liposuction procedure was...

Need revision surgery
I agree with my peers, no mininally invasive techniques will help significantly. You need surgical revision to correct what I see in the pictures. I find it hard to think a board certified plastic surgeon performed your procedure and you should make sure you get another opinion in your area.

Arasys for tummy tuck
I had never heard of Arasys, so I went on their web site. If it is like many other non surgical skin tightening machines, it probably at best works to a minor degree and could be temporary. The photos you show indicate that you essentially need to have to procedure redone, tightening the muscles and removing more skin. I don't see a scar around your navel which indicates you had a mini tummy tuck, when you really required a full tummy tuck. Fortunately...

Poor tummy tuck result and options for improvement
I would certainly agree with the sentiments from the other surgeons. This result demonstrates several elements that seem to indicate this was not performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. I would highly recommend you do not seek out a "quick fix" with Arasys and instead seek out a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for an opinion on your options.
good luck

Tummy Tuck result
I am so sorry to see this result in what appears to be a perfect candidate for a well done Tummy Tuck. You look to be fit and trim, with loose skin that should have been tightened from the rib cage down. I agree that your result does not appear to be from a surgeon Board Certified in Plastic Surgery. The scar is much too high and looks lumpy around the back. The upper abdomen does not look like it has been treated at all. Unfortunately, many physicians are dabbling in plastic surgery...

Tummy tuck poor result
I am in agreement with Dr. DeMars; unless you had severe abdominal scarring from previous procedures such as a hysterectomy or other major abdominal procedures, your result appears not to have the hallmarks of a procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon, especially with regards to the position of the scar, the management of the navel, and the result of the upper abdominal skin.
You should seek a second opinion with plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic...

Loose Skin After a Tummy Tuck
I'm sorry to bring this up, but after looking at your photo, it is hard to think that your surgeon was a board certified plastic surgeon. If this was a cosmetic tummy tuck and not some type of reconstruction, the scar should be several inches below your belly button and your skin up to the ribs should be smooth and tight. I think you need to seek a consultation with a well qualified and board certified plastic surgeon. I hope you will communicate back with an answer to my opening...

Arasys to Tighten Skin
Arasys claims to work my stimulating muscle contractions and then tightening the skin in addition to burning off fat. Based on the available information online and lack of well done clinical trials.
Based on the images shown, a surgical revision may be the best option of the skin does not contract in a few months. I doubt any other option is going to make a significant difference.
