I've lost 120 lbs with no surgery but unfortunately it came with the cost of loose skin. I'm 34 and would like children (please no medical advice on geriatric pregnancy) so id like to hold off on a Tt. Would lipo and j-plasma work?
Answer: Can I get away with just lipo? Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! Based on the photos there is too much skin laxity to achieve a good result with liposuction, even if J Plasma was added. You do however appear to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck which would address loose skin, excess fat and tighten the abdominal wall. You can consider liposuction of the hips and flanks to enhance your curves. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Abdomen Congratulations on your weight loss! You might get some improvement with liposuction and J plasma, but it will not be a tummy tuck. Do wait until you have had all the children you want before getting the tuck.

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Afroblue306, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Liposuction will not help with your issues. 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.

Answer: Can I get away with just lipo? Congrats on your weight loss! Unfortunately, you do not appear to be a good liposuction candidate . Based on limited photos - you appear to be a good candidate for extended abdominoplasty -to remove all of the excess skin. I suggest that you seek a formal consultation with an experienced Board Certified PS

Answer: Can I get away with just lipo? I really don't want tummy tuck Thank you for your inquiry and photos, based on photos liposuction on its own would not leave good results, also with time stomach skin will become more flaccid, you are a candiate for tummy tuck in order to obtain good results and also remove excessive skin. A full tummy tuck with muscle repair comined wiht liposuction 360 would have a good outcome result, flat tight belly. You will not be happy with only liposuction results since its mainly skin removal needed. I suggest seeking board certified plastic surgerons to discuss further details. Best of luck!

Answer: Loose Skin after Liposuction Since you are starting with loose skin, any liposuction procedure will result in more loose skin. J-plasma, or any other thermal energy procedure, will be unsuccessful in tightening up your skin to a point of you not needed any skin removal (tummy tuck). My recommendation would be to wait until you are done having children and then consider a tummy tuck, combined with liposuction.
