Should do ultrasonic cavitation on my stomach, flanks & back before surgery to tighten skin? (Photos)

Question

Cavitation before lipo 360/Bbl Hi. I will be having lipo 360/bbl in March 2024. Just wondering if i should do ultrasonic cavitation on my stomach, flanks and back before my surgery to tighten my skin or should I do it after my surgery to tighten my skin in those areas after my lipo 360, thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, the combination of your skin quality and the amount of tissue that would be removed would leave you with apparent excess of skin that will not be ‘tightened’ by any skin tightening modality, with the exception of skin excision, i.e. a tummy tuck. There is a saying ‘if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail’. That gets to the core of the issue you may be having: if the surgeon you are using can’t do a tummy tuck, he’s/she’s not a board certified plastic surgeon and he/she can’t give you the appropriate evaluation and recommendations. In your case, it’s a tummy tuck. You don’t have to heed my words, but I can tell you that a smooth, attractive abdomen will not be yours after the cavitation liposuction alone.
