360 liposuction combined with J plasma for tightening abdomen.

Thanks for submitting this question. I perform 8-12 liposuction cases a week and utilize all of the technologies and techniques available. I have recently tried the plasma and unfortunately did not find the results dramatic enough to warrant me bringing it into my practice given the cost. Currently, well performed liposuction with VASER is the best option available to patients. The degree of skin looseness is individual and will depend on how stretchy the skin is before surgery. I like to show patients pictures of people with similar skin and how they look after surgery. Some people dont mind a little extra skin because they like the low scar burden of lipo. Some people want to be as tight as possible and thus sometimes I need to do a small skin excision which I usually do really low on the abdomen and preserve the belly button

J plasma is not FDA approved for this area. It sounds risky. For the tightest tummy possible, consider a tummy tuck, especially if you're postpartum. Be sure to have consultations with board certified plastic surgeons only. 

BodyTite does not remove any fat but is capable of tightening tissue up to 45%.  Combined with liposuction, it improves contours dramatically. The BodyTite radio-frequency assisted lipolysis provides exceptional surgical results without the excision, scars, or downtime.  Sedentary activities can be resumed in two to three days and full activity with exercise within two to three weeks. No one can predict what the results would be, as liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent.  Always go with the talent and results of the surgeon, and do not select based upon technique or cost.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
