Hello. I’m wondering if there are alternatives to a tummy tuck to fix the loose skin/cellulite appearancein my upper abdomen. I’m 5’7” 125lbs for reference. I carried my kids very high during pregnancy and my insecurity is the upper portion of my stomach. Would losing more weight help this? I really don’t want to have a full TT if there are non surgical options. Thank you so much for any advice!

Answer: For most there are no other options, but for you perhaps High definition liposuction with Renuvion plasma heating will help get the best contour to your skin. Remember, nothing really tightens skin, but Renuvion helps get it to scar down as flat as possible. As always, keep in mind that the best results from liposuction are gotten by being very proactive after the surgery. It's not enough to just wear a compression garment for a period of time. Drains are a very important but inconvenient adjunct to getting the fluid out of the region. And finally post liposuction massage drainage is also important, especially in the first two weeks to reduce fluid and swelling.

Answer: Vaser ultrasound liposuction You appear to have very good skin and muscle. In my experience, Vaser ultrasound liposuction will remove stubborn fat and tighten skin of entire abdomen. This would avoid tummy tuck scars and longer recovery. There may be some slight residual skin around belly button, but not enough for a full tummy tuck which would risk a high scar and/or small T. An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.
