Is Viora Refit (Viora Reaction) a legit abdominal skin tightening procedure? Tummy Tuck Alternative?

Question

So for years I have heard that these tummy tuck alternatives don't work. That laser treatment will provide minimal to no results. But I looked at multiple before and after pics of abdominal skin tightening with viora on a google search and was blown away by what I saw. Part of me thinks this is to good to be true. Can anyone confirm the effectiveness of this procedure? It seems that these before and after pics are only provided by viora and I haven't seen any from private facilities that use it.

I do not believe that Viora Refit provides substantial skin tightening for the abdomen.  It is definitely not comparable to a tummy tuck, where on average I remove at least 1.5 square feet of excess skin.

Curtis Wong, MD · Answer

there is really no proven technology that will tighten it and let you avoid the tummy tuck.  If you insist on pursuing this technology, I would suggest you get some kind of written warranty from the provider and either have treatments for free or a partial refund if it doesn't do what what was implied.  Legitimate providers will have no problems with this arrangement...

Loose abdominal skin is a problem for many women and men.  I have not heard any discussion at meetings of this device and do not blame your skepticism.  I have learned that companies routinely publish their best photo results and who can blame them?  It's important to know how many patients out of a hundred achieve that level of improvement since results achieved in one case may not reflect the average result.Meet with an ABPS Bd Certified plastic surgeon to see many examples of before and after results.  The video above discusses mini vs. full tummy tucks for your info.  Best wishes,
