I had a full tummy tuck with lipo 2 years ago, but the surgeon didn't lipo above the belly button, and I have more skin and fat under the bra line than I should. Below the BB it is tight, above is not. The belly button didn't heal very well. I'm not sure if I can do anything about that now? Would a non-general anaesthetic lipo solve the fat problem for me above the BB? The surgeon told me at the time that it's dangerous to go above the belly button but it doesn't look good as a result...

Answer: Nonsurgical Stomach Skin Tightening -- Vanquish, truSculpt, Venus, Exilis, Cellutone/ZWave vs VASER Hi-Def Lipo & Tummy Tuck In truth, non-surgical options give only mild improvement compared to surgical lifting. Skin tightening can be done with a combination of Vanquish, truSculpt iD, Venus Legacy, Exilis, Cellutone/Zwave. However, for best results, a Tummy Tuck procedure can be combined with a high definition procedure at the same time. For best results, I recommend VASER HI-DEF Liposuction with ThermiRF, Renuvion, InMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi-definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Upper Abdominal Fullness You need a careful exam to figure out why you are too full in the top half before something like simple liposuction (or any other treatment) can be recommended.It could be the muscle repair was not done, or that it came undone. It could also be that there is fat behind the abdominal wall. So first you need a diagnosis, and then the proper treatment can be planned.

Answer: Liposuction candidate Dear DGirl123, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from a liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
