Am I a good candidate for Liposuction and J-Plasma? (i.e. no Tummy Tuck) - advice? (photos)

Question

Hi, Can you please advise if I'm a good candidate for liposuction and j-plasma skin tightening (i.e. no tummy tuck)? A few clinics have given different opinions on whether just lipo and j-plasma will result in me having excess skin left? I'm 29 years,5ft3 and 12stone, 10lbs. (I don't want a major operation like tt, or the scar. And I'm yet to have children). Also I'm leaning towards traditional lipo over vaser, as I read that the results are more dramatic. Is this accurate? Thanks in advance.

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

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you a Tummy Tuck to get a flat abdomen and waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Kind regards,

From your photos and description you can consider liposuction and J plasma for the abdomen and hips/flanks.  These procedures will give you improvement but will not give you the same results as a tummy tuck.  There is a risk you may have loose skin after the procedure. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your goals as well as what you can expect in terms of results from these procedures.

Dear cj9cj9,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. If you want to avoid tummy tuck, you can try liposuction and skin tightening but there is a risk of loose skin. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

J-plasma (called renuvion in the US) helps tighten skin and is almost always combined with liposuction. Vaser is ultrasonic liposuction which helps break up fat and is always combined with traditional liposuction to remove the emulsified fat. In your case I think you are a good candidate for j-plasma/renuvion combined with lipo
