What procedure would help with my upper abdominal skin sagging? (Photo)

Thanks so much for your question,
If you are experiencing upper abdominal skin sagging, there are several procedures that can help tighten and improve the appearance of the area.

Reverse Tummy Tuck: This is a specific type of abdominoplasty that targets the upper abdomen.
It involves removing excess skin and tightening the area to improve the contour

liposuction can also help improve the appearance of sagging skin to some extent. When combined with other procedures, it can enhance the overall results.

It's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

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​​

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out with your question and providing your details. Based on your description and photo, it seems like you would be an excellent candidate for minimally invasive procedures to address upper abdominal skin sagging.

J-plasma, also known as Renuvion, is a minimally invasive treatment option that uses a combination of cold helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. It can be used alone or in conjunction with liposuction to enhance contouring and skin tightening.

Liposuction may also be beneficial in targeting localized areas of fat accumulation and improving overall body contour. Since you maintain a healthy lifestyle and exercise regularly, liposuction can help refine your physique and address any stubborn pockets of fat.

Another option to consider is Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction, which is a more advanced form of liposuction designed to sculpt and define muscles while simultaneously removing excess fat. This technique can produce impressive results, especially for individuals like yourself who have good muscle tone and minimal excess skin.

During a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, your concerns and goals can be discussed in detail. Your surgeon can assess your candidacy for each procedure, provide personalized recommendations, and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Ultimately, the choice between J-plasma alone, J-plasma with liposuction, or Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction will depend on your individual anatomy, preferences, and desired outcomes. I encourage you to schedule a consultation to explore your options further and determine the most suitable approach for achieving your goals.
