Is it possible for me to tighten my loose skin with JPlasma then do Laparoscopic repair instead of a full tummy tuck? (Photo)

The j plasma it’s banned for the FDA, because the complication that produce, and also it’s a dive not design for Tighten the skin.

The only result that will make you happy based on the photos is full tummy tuck, j plasma will not benefit you, it will only be a waste of time and money.

Hello @tpeete3354, thank you for your question. J plasma is capable of improving the structure of skin by causing the tissue to contract. As well as skin near the navel that has been ruptured due to stretch marks, the application of muscle must be done using an open technique. You can have a modified lipectomy that leaves a small scar and improve all aspects of your appearance. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear tpeete3354,
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.

You will need a tummy tuck to correct the loose skin. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.

No, you have too much skin to consider any radiofrequency or laser tightening procedures. Only excision will remove all your excess skin.

Hi, tpeete3354 ! Thank you for your question and photo.
When I inspect your photo, I can tell that J-plasma or any other skin tightening technology will not help to tighten your skin properly. The skin sagginess is all along the abdominal skin, so you’re a good candidate for a tummy-tuck operation. A strong muscle repair and hernia repair can be done easily with tummy tuck. So I would stronglu recommend you to go with surgery instead of seeking non surgical tightening and laparoscopic muscla/hernia repair, which may not help but complicate your situation.

From your photo you will not achieve good results from J-Plasma. It is designed for those with good skin elasticity. You will have significant improvement with a standard tummy tuck. It will remove excess skin and fat as well as correct abdominal wall laxity. Your hernia can be addressed at the same time. If desired, liposuction can be added for further contouring.

Hello, thank you for your question and picture. After evaluating your case the best treatment option is a tummy tuck. We need to remove an important amount of loose skin and stretch marks and the Jplasma won’t do it’s work on this type of indications.

Make sure to approach to a certified surgeon to help you clear all your doubts.

Best wishes!

J-Plasma is not good for skin tightening, seeing to many serious complications. Plus you need a full Tt with muscle plication, & repair of bb hernia. Fee $10,000. Best to virtual consult with...
