A tummy tuck will not treat visceral fat. Visceral fat is the fat inside the abdominal cavity around your stomach, intestines, liver, etc. Neither cool sculpting nor Ultrashape penetrate this deeply nor are they designed to do so. As indicated elsewhere, diet and exercise are the only safe ways to lose visceral fat. I would recommend that you avoid tummy tuck if you have substantial visceral fat as the results will not be ideal.
This is difficult to answer without a picture, but you may be a candidate for a tummy tuck and liposuction, which can be done at the same time and will give you better results with body shaping and fat removal than Ultrashape. I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER HI DEF. I use VASER with ThermiRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contouring and definition. This combination will give you the most toned, defined result. See a hi definition physique expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer
The only thing that works for visceral fat is weight loss. This layer of fat surrrounds organs and is not affected by surgery. If you have a large amount of visceral fat, this will preclude and abdominoplasty as the shape will resemble more of a barrel rather than a sculpted abdomen.
Thanks for your question. If indeed you have mostly visceral fat, then the only thing that will work to get rid of it is diet and exercise. Visceral fat, which is located behind your abdominal muscles and surrounds your internal organs, cannot be removed even with liposuction. Best of luck to you!
Ultrashape does not work on visceral fat. It treats the fat that is approximately 1-2 inches below the skin. You may want to consider ultrashape as frankly its more effective and can truly be used to sculpt.You may also want to consider smartlipo is there is more volume that needs to be removed.Good luck
In our practice we use ultrashape and velashape III together for optimal results. The velashape is used to initially warm the subcutaneous fat, the ultrashape then destroys the fat, and finally the velashape is used to do a gentle lymphatic massage. Good luck!
Patients do not need to wear anything special after Power Ultrashape (US). US uses ultrasonic energy to destroy fat cells. A waist trainer may help to obtain the final results. I hope you find this information useful. For more information please watch the enclosed video.
Thanks for the photos. You do have a slightly asymmetric smile and chin. It's possible that fillers alone can give you the balance you're seeking. I would recommend Volbella for your lips and Juvederm for the chin. I would also advise trying fillers first and seeing if they rectify the problem...
