Don’t want a tummy tuck, will lipo 360 with J-plasma be enough? (Photos)

Question

I’m 25 and have never had any pregnancies. I’m wanting to have the lipo360 procedure done but am terrified that I will be told I need a tummy tuck. I have very minimal stretch marks to my lower abdomen (you can barely even see them) and I’ve had the same lower flab my entire life even when I’ve been at my healthiest and working out. I’m 5’3 and currently weigh 145. Will lipo360 with J-Plasma be enough for me? Should I lose some weight and tone up to optimize my results?

Liposuction can be performed.  However, you must understand that no matter what liposuction technique is done, it is possible that your skin may hang and may require skin excision later.

Best Wishes,

Photos are always insufficient, even when they are relatively good like yours. An in person exam is necessary to assess skin elasticity. By history though, I don't think it would imprudent to try liposuction and J Plasma. An experienced surgeon and excellent post op care with tissue massage will give you the best shot at achieving your goals without skin removing surgery.

Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these photos, you are a good candidate for VASER Hi Def Lipo 360 degrees, +/- Renuvion or J-plasma. You do not need a tummy tuck. As a Total Definer surgeon, I specialize in 3D body reshaping with advanced liposuction techniques and fat transfer if indicated. All these procedures I do in our office certified operating suite under deep intravenous sedation.
See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Your best result would be with a tummy tuck and the scar could be positioned very low on your abdomen so that it could be hidden in swimsuits.  Liposuction, even with skin tightening, won't resolve the issue of excess skin.

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you liposuction with BBL for betters results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for
