What are my options for minimal loose skin on abdomen? (Photos)

No laser will tighten your skin. You look great considering you've had two kids. If you are unwilling to place a scar on your abdomen, then simply leave it alone. A mini-tummy might be of benefit only if you accept a scar. Good luck, Dr. PG

There is always a trade-off regarding body contouring treatment options for the abdominal wall.  More invasive procedures achieve much more improvement but have much more downtime during recovery.  For really minimally loose skin without any other problems, non-surgical treatments with various radio-frequency devices can be helpful.  If there is just a little extra fat along with the minimal skin excess, then perhaps a non-surgical treatment for fat freezing might help.  These treatments have negligible downtime but usually create modest changes.  Next up the treatment ladder would be a mini tummy tuck, which could be performed through a relatively short incision in line with a typical c-section incision.  This would create more skin tightening and fat sculpting, but obviously has more recovery time and post-op restrictions.  Finally, a full tummy tuck is the standard procedure for treating significant skin and fat excess, along with any muscle laxity.

Numerous plastic surgeons in LA, including those at Hughes Plastic Surgery, are offering the BodyTite radio-frequency assisted lipolysis with 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.Bodytite is used for treatment of all body areas with large volume to tighten skin on arms, abdomen, knees, inner thighs, and bra rolls.  If you have stubborn fat that remains after conservative treatment, liposuction will provide the result you probably seek. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

From the photographs, it is apparent that you have a very aesthetic abdomen. You have a small amount of excess skin above your umbilicus which usually does not have a good way to be corrected. Below your umbilicus, liposuction would remove some of the fat but increase the looseness of the skin, and may not be a good option for you.

Unfortunately, there is no laser that will significantly tighten abdominal skin. A mini-tummy tuck may help, but if you are reluctant to have a scar - I would recommend leaving everything as is. You look great as is.

You look great for having two children. Non surgical options include the following: there are multiple radio frequencies devices thta tighten skin. These machines tighten the skin by heating the deep tissues. There are various laser machines that help to tighten skin by heating tissues as well. A Mini Scar Tummy Tuck Incision is typically smaller than a C-section scar. This helps to tighten the skin and the tummy muscle. I hope you find this information useful. For more information please watch the enclosed video.

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, you have a small diastasis of your rectus muscle and excess skin. You would be a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck to tighten the skin and tighten the rectus muscle. I recommend having an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who is a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. I believe you will not be happy with anything less than a mini. Best of luck. 

Hello dear!!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.Congratulations because you look amazing after 2 kids!! I personally don't recommend you to do any surgery. I think that maybe some kind of laser or massages like endermology can help, but you look great.Good luck :) 

You will benefit with some RF skin tightening like Thermage or Viora. . These treatments increase collagen and improve the look. Surgery will be now worthwhile for a minimal problem
