Loose Skin After Pregnancies Thermage Vs. Mini Tummy Tuck? (photo)

Hello, What are my options for my loose skin after having two children? I am 29 years old and had my youngest baby 17 months ago. I work out and do not have much fat on my stomach. My belly button has popped out more since having my first child and the skin did not really go back down. I have been considering Body by Thermage or even a mini tuck. I would rather do the less invasive laser, but don't want to waste $3k on a laser that doesn't work. Thank you for your response!

Thermage v mini tuck

The photos are ambiguous but Thermage will not produce the degree of tightening that you are seeking. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon in consultation.

The Thermage treatment may give you a little improvement, but probably not. If you really want a change to a younger tighter looking abdomen it requires a tummy tuck.

Again the posted photos are very hard to interpret. Best to be seen in person by a boarded PSs in your area. Thermage would be a waste of your time and your $'s.

Tummy tuck

From the picture you have posted, it looks like you would benefit from a tummy tuck. Looks like you some muscle damage and thermage will not correct that. I would check with your PS and see if a mini or a full tummy would be the best for you.

Tummy Tuck

Based on your picture, you need a full tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck or just liposuction will leave you very disappointed. Thermage will be a waste of money in your case. Good Luck
