Could Exilis work for me rather than a tummy tuck? (photos)

Question

I have some loose skin on my upper abdomen as a result of weight I lost 20+ years ago. A tummy tuck seems pretty extreme for my situation, but is there anything else that could help? Could Exilis or some other skin tightening treatment work? I think it actually looks worse in person than in the attached photos.

Hi,Based on your photos, you could get some great skin tightening with Exilis Elite!  I don't see your lower abdomen but I don't see a huge need for a tummy tuck.  With Exils Elite, you would need 4 treatments as compared to Exilis since the Elite is a more powerful machine.Warmly,Dr.Liu

Exilis would be a perfect treatment for you. It can tighten skin as well as reduce fat. It will take four to six treatments for you and then the results will take another few months to finalize. Remember that it will not give the results of an abdominoplasty but should tighten your skin to give a better appearance. Remember to take some photos before the process starts. The entire process evolves slowly and many people do not realize they have such great results until they look back at the photos. My patients have been very very happy and many come back to treat other areas of their body once they see how easy it is!

You look like a great candidate for Exilis Elite.  I would say 4 to 6 treatments. Always be sure to take before and after pictures and remember you will not get the same result as a tummy tuck.  I do think you will be happy with the Exilis Elite it is a great machine.Best of Luck,Dr. Peter Newen
