Will J Plasma/Renuvion make my belly button area look better and tighter? I was told I just have some sagging skin above my belly button, but not enough fat for lipo bc it will just look distorted. It's just ugly and doesn't reflect the healthy nutrition and exercise lifestyle I adhere to. I don't need a 6 pack, but I can't wear a bikini right now with it looking like this. Please advise!
Answer: Abdomen I do think Renuvion would work nicely for your skin. an examination is needed to see if liposuction would be useful if you have more than just excess skin.

Answer: Lipo360 + abdominoplasty/tummy tuck - VASER HD, J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite, fat grafting for buttock lift/BBL you look at if you have loose skin that needs liposuction and skin removal. renuvion alone wont be enough unless you already have tight skin. my whole practice is doing lipoabdominoplasty, or at least liposuction with internal heating (which is not the gold standard for skin tightening with body contouring). the smaller you are before liposuction the more contouring you can get from the procedure. most of my liposuction patients get pre and post surgical optimization with hormonal therapy (see link to help boost their weight loss before surgery and help them heal after). You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty). Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.

Answer: Is J Plasma/Renuvion good for me for my belly button area? I would not trust Renuvion (or any energy device) to offer significant skin tightening. Some skin tightening may be possible, but not likely to offer any improvement in your case. Based on your pictures, your have loose skin and the only option is a tummy tuck.

Answer: Treating abdominal skin laxity My first hand experience working with J plasma was that none of my patients had any significant measurable or noticeable skin tightening. Any result scene was completely accounted for by liposuction which is done in conjunction with J plasma. At least based on my first-hand experience I think you will be left disappointed and feel like you’ve undergone an unnecessary procedure having J plasma. My recommendation would be consider either having a full tummy tuck or living with your skin laxity which I’m guessing either comes from previous pregnancies or substantial weight fluctuations.
