Will a revision help with my loose skin after Vaser Lipo? (Photo)

Based on your photos nothing is likely to improve that loose skin other than a tummy tuck. Poss a mini tuck, but it's hard to say with better photos

Thank you for reaching out with your concerns about the possibility of revision liposuction to address loose skin after your initial VASER liposuction procedure. Your shared history and photographs have been invaluable in understanding your situation.

Upon analyzing your photographs, it is evident that there are areas of excess fat accompanied by skin rolls. The capabilities of VASER, even on its highest setting, are not designed to effectively address such pronounced skin laxity. The core issue is not simply excess fat, but also the surplus of skin.

Given this analysis, my professional recommendation would not be to proceed with another round of VASER liposuction. Based on my experience, VASER may exacerbate the skin sagging you're experiencing. The most suitable procedure to address the loose skin and provide a taut appearance would be an abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck.

It's crucial to approach such decisions with a full understanding of the implications, risks, and benefits. If you're contemplating undergoing an abdominoplasty, I encourage you to consider it thoroughly, consult with specialists, and gather all the necessary information to make an informed decision.

I hope this guidance aids you in navigating your next steps. Wishing you clarity and confidence in your journey.

Sincerely,

Dr. Katzen

What you need to do is to eliminate your skin redundancy that can be achieved only with a small excision of redundant skin along your infra-abdominal incision line. This is called the modified abdominal skin resection. Minimally invasive methods to tighten your skin will not work due to the extent of skin redundancy.
