Hello, I lost 20 Lbs and lost a good amount of fat in my stomach, however, my skin around my belly button is wrinkled and I would like to know what is the best nonsurgical way to smooth it out. What will be the most inexpensive and effective way to treat it? I'm 63 years old and I know the age is not my friend on this. thank you,
Answer: Loose skin Dear lilianahomes,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Minimize fine lines and wrinkles around the abdomen area with Morpheus8 treatments Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Answer: What is the best non surgical procedure to tighten stomach wrinkles? BodyTite does not remove any fat, but it is capable of producing a 45% contraction in tissues. Liposuction and Bodytite may give you a very nice result without the larger scar of the tummy tuck, but there is no muscle repair involved if that is needed. Results can be seen immediately after one treatment and are more evident over three to six months post-treatment. Wait until six months to fully evaluate the aesthetic results. Schedule a in-office consultation with a board certified PS to determine if this option will provide the results you are seeking.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Non-Surgical Treatments For Abdominal Skin Tightening Hello and thanks for your question. You would need an in-person consultation and evaluation to determine which treatments would be most appropriate for you. If you are strictly looking for a non-surgical option then in my opinion ThermiTight is the best treatment option for loose abdominal skin. We often combine this with laser treatments to get optimal results. Make sure you see an experienced physician provider. Hope this helps!

Answer: Skin tightening for the abdomen--venus legacy, cellutone, zwave vanquish, VASER HI DEF, ThermiRF, Tummy tuck Non surgical options give only mild improvement compared to surgical lifting. Skin tightening can be done with a combination of Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis, Cellutone/Zwave. However for best results, a tummy tuck can be combined with a high definition procedure at the same time, depending on skin laxity. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like a VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF 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
