I am considering a mini tummy tuck bit would prefer to have Smart lipo done instead. I have had 2 C-sections and it has left my body with am overhang... Would Smart lipo work to reduce the bulge? I am 5'1 and 130lbs.
Answer: VASER liposuction plus Renuvion (J-plasma) for your desired cosmetic result Hello, Thank you for your question. From the information and photos you have provided, it appears you have a normal BMI and healthy skin with good elasticity which makes you a great candidate for High Def VASER Liposuction and Renuvion (J-plasma). This is a great combination to achieve your desired cosmetic goals as VASER liposuction melts superficial fat while Renuvion (J-plasma) provides skin tightening. A tummy tuck will remove excess skin and tighten your abdominal wall but should only be done once you have completed childbearing. Seek out a board-certified Cosmetic/Plastic Surgeon with a proven track record for a formal evaluation to help you make the best decision. Hope this helps! Best, Dr. Babak Moein

Answer: Best Treatments for Body Contouring and Skin Tightening Hello and thank you for your question. It appears you might be a good candidate for a combination of liposuction and non-surgical skin tightening. The lipo treatment would remove the stubborn fat in the midsection using small tubes known as cannulas. The cannulas are inserted directly into the pocket of fat so the fat cells can be gently suctioned out of the body. Immediately following tumescent liposuction, I often prefer a non-surgical skin tightening treatment called ThermiTight. This procedure delivers radiofrequency energy into the deeper dermal structure, where it can effectively constrict tissue and increase collagen production. There is a temperature probe both internally and externally in order to achieve the best temperature for tightening yet avoid overheating and burns. Smart Lipo does not have this precise ability to monitor temperature, so I prefer ThermiTight for its safety and effectiveness. Make sure you choose a dermatologist who is both board certified and an expert in non-surgical body contouring to give yourself the best odds of success.

Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Dear Sunnysunday831, based on your photos and history of pregnancies, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Liposuction will only remove the excess fat and leave handing skin and separated abdominal muscles. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. 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: Liposuction Candidate -- VASER HI-DEF Liposculpture vs Smart Lipo, ThermiRF, fat grafting, Tummy Tuck, Renuvion, Inmode BodyTite Smart Lipo is good for stubborn areas of fat, but lacks body contouring and shaping. For best results, I recommend a hi-definition procedure like VASER liposuction, which can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, if there is skin laxity. I use VASER HI-DEF with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J Plasma), 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
