Loose skin on abdomen after Brazilian Butt Lift - would getting J-Plasma fix this issue?

Question

So I'm considering getting jplasma just to tighten my skin in my abdomen. I got a BBL on January 1, 2021 and my results were exactly what I wanted, my skin on my stomach just wasn't as tight as I wanted it to be. There is no fat to grab it's just basically loose skin from before lipo. Right now, I don't have any fat that could be taken out to do lipo on my abdomen but I just want my stomach to be as tight as I previously had hoped it would be. Would getting jplasma fix this issue for me?

In truth, non-surgical options give only mild improvement compared to surgical lifting. Skin tightening can be done with a combination of Vanquish, truSculpt iD, Venus Legacy, Exilis, Cellutone/Zwave. However, for best results, a Tummy Tuck procedure can be combined with a high definition procedure at the same time. For best results, I recommend VASER HI-DEF Liposuction with ThermiRF, Renuvion, InMode BodyTite 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​​

Hello @JReWayne93 thank you for your question. It is hard to tell for sure without an examination if jPlasma is the right procedure for you or are in need of other procedure that removes the excess of skin in the abdominal area. I suggest you consult with several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and recommendations. Best wishes!

You did not post photos, but most see improvement in decreasing loose skin with Renuvion. The tightest abdomen will be with a tummy tuck.

The only procedure that will actually deliver visible skin tightening on your abdomen is a full tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck.

I personally purchased the Renuvion or Jay plasma device when it first came out and used it for a year. I literally saw zero skin tightening in any of my patients during the first year of use and simply could not recommended for anybody else and have since sold the device.

In my opinion it does not deliver skin tightening.

Either live with the results or have some form of tummy tuck.

Best,
