VASER can tighten skin by a small amount

It is truly very difficult to say what the right procedure is for you given the one picture. In general, women who have had several kids tend to have excess skin in the lower abdomen that has stretch marks and has poor quality. Many of these patients are excellent candidates for a full tummy tuck. Some patients do not have too many stretch marks, do not have poor skin quality, but do have some excess fat. Those patients can be great candidates for liposuction. The VASER ultrasound... more

Liposuction Candidate?

Thank you for the question and picture. Based on your history of pregnancies I am, like you, concerned about the skin elasticity and the results you may have if you undergo liposuction surgery. Although it is hard to give you good advice without direct examination, most patients in your situation do better with tummy tuck surgery. Good skin elasticity is also an important attribute of the patient undergoing liposuction surgery. As we age or gain/lose... more

Vaser and tummy tucks

There are many variables with any liposuction technique used. If the skin quality is poor or if the area liposuctioned is very fatty and extensive Liposuction is performed, then you can have looser skin after the procedure.

It's a little hard to determine from the photograph though your skin does not look too bad. If you have enough elasticity in your skin and don't have a lot of deep stretch marks chances are you would do fine. Your best option is to consult with an American Board of Plastic Surgery certified plastic surgeon in your area skilled in the proper use of the Vaser. Check www.plasticsurgery.org and www.vaser.com.
