Liposuction/Buttlift/Mini Tummy Tuck or Exilis?

I recently went for a lipo consult and was told I had loose skin and that lipo wold not work. I was told I have two options: a mini tummy tuck and fat grating to my rear or exilis. Evasive or non I feel the evasive past will prodice the best results, but I am scared of the scars. I cannot imagine exilis lifting/firming my rear/tummy. Can someone please advise.

This radio frequency device is not approved save for facial wrinkles in the US. I would hesitate to recommend an unproven product on these pages. Skin tightening products come and go, and have so for years. When the manufacturer can convince the regulators that it is safe and it works, I will reconsider.
