Which non surgical procedure would help tighten my abdominal area? (photos)

Hello lvly777, thank you for your question regarding non-surgical procedures to tighten your abdominal area.

By examining your photos, it appears that you have excess skin, not excess fat. Unfortunately, non-surgical procedures are limited in their ability to effectively tighten significant amounts of excess skin. While treatments like radiofrequency or ultrasound therapy can provide some skin tightening, they typically don't deliver the dramatic results you're seeking.

The only way to address the excess skin definitively is through an abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck will remove the excess skin and tighten the underlying muscles, providing a smoother and firmer abdominal appearance. While the scar from a tummy tuck can be a concern, experienced plastic surgeons work to place the incision in a location that can be easily concealed by underwear or swimsuits.

Good luck with your decision. I hope this helps answer your question regarding non-surgical procedures and the need for a tummy tuck.

Sincerely,

J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS

From the submitted photos the recommendation would be a tummy tuck. Your main issue appears to be skin laxity. Less invasive options such as BodyTite or Morpheus8 may bring some improvement but not near the difference that a tummy tuck would make. You appear to be a good candidate and I would expect that you'd have nice results from an abdominoplasty.
