I had traditional lipo on my whole back. I was told I had good skin elasticity but I feel like my back looks droopy. Would having Vaser lipo and J Plasma help with the skin droopy look and would that help with the dimpling on my legs or make it worse?

Answer: Will Vaser lipo with J Plasma help dimpling and skin droopiness? Thank you for your question and photo. You did not post a preop photo for comparison, but it seems you still have excess fat and rolls that do not allow the skin to tighten. A secondary surgery is always more challenging, and I would not undertake this without using the VASER technique for both deep and superficial fat emulsification. This technique in the hands of a well trained plastic surgeon will give you the best results. Also, one cannot just liposuction the folds and rolls only. The undermining and release with the VASER has to go at least to the lateral chest wall, waist and hips, but preferably all the way around. This will lead to "shrink wrap" skin tightening over your bony and muscle anatomy. Might or might not need Renuvion or J-Plasma. This is determined during an in person examination. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck. See attached web reference.

Answer: Secondary energy Liposuction for skin tightening I have a little faith that energy devices like VASER or J plasma will make any visible difference in regards To skin tightening. I have direct first-hand experience with both and did not see these as devices that contribute to skin tightening. I was especially disappointed with J plasma as being a fairly useless piece of equipment and have since sold mine. Unfortunately there is no good skin tightening technology other than surgical excision which leaves scars. Radio frequency treatments and micro or macro needling may give it very potentially visible changes but they are not really skin tightening Procedures. You could consider liposuction of your arms to get the more proportionate with your previously treated torso. You’ll find that those who have these devices and are self promoting their services and equipment will be much more enthusiastic. Like I said, I have first-hand experience with both and owned the J plasma for about a year. Secondary Liposuction can give it further Liposuction results but it is not a skin treatment. Typically secondary Liposuction can deliver about 25% of what the first procedure was able to accomplish. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
