Thermal Lipo and Slight Skin Tightening (Photo)

October 30, 2024
Asked By:Peaceful914505 in Charleston, South Carolina

40 year old, 1 child (no c-section), 150 lb, 5’6” Recently had breast lift, will be getting implants soon I’m considering tummy tuck or thermal lipo. PS said he was 50/50 could go either way but when considering cost, TT would be more predictable when considering skin tightening vs removal. He performs TT with drains. I am concerned about downtime/recovery, scaring, belly button placement and look. Am I a good candidate for Thermal lipo? Looking for contouring and slight skin tightening, not abs

Answer: "Thermal lipo" or radiofrequency is not a good option for body contouring. Traditional liposuction is best
