Hello! I m 50, had 2 pregnancies, one with twins. I lost 20lbs and on my way to lose 10lbs more. I really don't like the hip to hip scar of a full tummy tuck. I do have excess skin but not much (?). I also cannot feel a diastasis. I'd love to do just a lipo with a non invasive technique to tighten the skin if I'm a candidate. At the most a mini tummy tuck or a scarless tummy tuck but I am not sure I am a candidate. Am I a candidate to mini or a scarless tummy tuck with lipo? Thank you!
Answer: Abdominal contouring options Thanks for your inquiry and pictures, I would advice liposuction alone as you have too much skin and it it does not address the diastasis. A for a mini-tuck it can only address the lower diastasis and would see pooching above the umbilicus. My recommendation would be to do a full tummy tuck and some liposuction on the love handles. The scar can be placed low and there are many great scar treatment strategies available, please seek the opinion of an experienced board certified surgeon to discuss., best of luck.

Answer: Mini-tummy tuck? You will definitely need skin excision to maximally rejuvenate your tummy. There is no laser or non-invasive modalities that take care of loose body skin despite the many expensive machines that are offered in the market. Liposuction with a mini-tummy tuck will make a dramatic difference and I would not hesitate to offer. This is done with local tumescent anesthesia and an oral cocktail of pills so you do not have to go asleep, no drains and a very reasonable recovery with return to work in 3-5 days. This is an excellent option for you. Thank you.

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear LoveUBody, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Best Options for You Hello; you have sagging in your lower abdominal skin. If you are going to lose for 10 more kilos; that related sagging; will be much more noticeable. You can obtain best results; with Lipoabdominoplasty. In this case, unfortunately, you will not be able to get good results with Renuvion J Plasma or Bodytite procedures. With Mini Tummy Tuck treatment; your scar in the lower abdomen; if it will be 20 cm shorter; unfortunately, you will get suboptimal results. Because, your belly button is already located below. By the support of Mini Tummy Tuck; it will be pulled down a little more and it will not have an aesthetic appearance. A very well performed Lipoabdominoplasty; it will work better than all other your options. Again, if you say; you definitely don't want it; my suggestion is to you; abdominal Vaserlipo and Renuvion J plasma. After their implementation, from the lower abdomen area; only 5 between 6 cm of loose skin will be removed.
