6 years after smart lipo on abdomen. Should I try Tummy tuck or abetching or renuvion? (photos)

Question

6 years ago I did smart lipo abdomen after my 3rd kid. Doctor said I wasn’t a candidate for a TT. Since then I’ve been trying to fix the wrinkly, bumpy skin. I’ve done numerous treatments like nuera, exilis, vanquish, Morpheus 8 etc. I want to know if ultimately a TT is my only option or would lipo with renuvion fix it or abetching. A surgeon told me I could try body tite but will not get me the results I’m looking for.

In your photographs, a lot of your excess skin is in the upper abdomen.  You may benefit from a breast lift that will pull the upper abdomen up.  The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Best Wishes,

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a good candidate for mini abdominoplasty with liposuction to create some definition and a toned appearance. The prior liposuction seems to have left you with some residual contour irregularities which can’t properly be treated conservatively. Ultimately, in order to fix the loose/saggy skin, removing that skin will provide the best long term results. Consult with a few board certified plastic surgeons to determine the option that works best for you. I hope this helps.

Dear jma23,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
