Hello! I am a 39 year old female that has had two pregnancies. At my consultation the doctor recommended a mini tummy tuck with lipo on the stomach and bodytite. I'm wondering, can I get away with just bodytite? I didn't think to ask at my appointment and would so appreciate an opinion. Thanks! Also, I'm happy with how I look standing, but bending over and sitting down is what really bothers me.

Answer: Considering options From the photos you could consider liposuction with J Plasma or BodyTite to help contour the abdomen. If you have abdominal wall laxity however that will only be addressed through a tummy tuck. All people will have some degree of skin laxity when bending or seated, but it can be improved with these procedures.

Answer: No tummy tuck In my experience, Vaser ultrasound liposuction (or similar) addresses areas of concern and tightens skin without a tummy tuck. You appear to be an ideal candidate. BodyTite with liposuction should be similar. Before and after any treatment, the belly will sag or bulge when anyone bends over or sits. This should be improved but will never be as tight as when standing. 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.
