Answer: Both Hello, the most recommended thing in your case is to perform both procedures, liposuction of the waist of the back, and removal of the excess skin in the anterior part of the abdomen.

Answer: VASER ab etching VASER six-pack abs VASER hi-def abs flat abs VASER ab etching vs TT VASER ab etching expert Dear Vegasgal123, Thank you for your question regarding liposuction versus TT and would you be a candidate for VASER high-definition abdominal etching. Thank you for your history and your pictures. I believe you would be a good candidate for VASER high-definition abdominal etching. During VASER high-definition abdominal etching, tumescent solution is injected. Tumecent solution consists of lidocaine and epinephrine. Lidocaine minimizes the pain whereas epinephrine minimizes the bleeding. The tumecent solution is the best way to perform liposuction. After the tumescent solution is injected, the VASER cannulae is inserted. The VASER is an instrument that uses ultrasonic energy to melt fat, sculpt muscles, and shrink-wrap the skin above the rectus muscle. You can achieve a well-defined six-pack abdominal wall if you wish. You can have a flatter abdomen, an abdomen with 1, 2 or 3 vertical lines, or an abdomen with a full-shredded 3 vertical and 3 horizontal six-pack. The choice is yours. I believe because of your age, the quality of your skin, history of having no children, that your skin should bounce back after VASER high-definition abdominal etching. After the VASER high-definition abdominal etching surgery, it will be important for you to wear your compression garment for at least six weeks. Lymphatic massage during the first or second week will be important. I hope it helped to answer your question about whether you should undergo Lipo versus TT. My vote is for VASER high-definition abdominal etching as opposed to a tummy tuck. Good luck.

Answer: Lipo vs Tummy Tuck Great question. Thank you for submitting pictures for review. There are two different issues at hand- skin vs fat. When it comes to fat, most people are a candidate for fat removal, or liposuction. The question at hand is really what happens to the skin? If there is skin laxity (loose skin), it can often be addressed with minimally invasive options such as Renuvion J plasma or BodyTite skin tightening post lipo-360 or lipo procedures. If there is skin redundancy (skin excess), you're a candidate for a skin resection- whether a full or mini tummy tuck. Not having children clues us in on possibly not needing a muscle repair. However, if you've had significant weight gain or loss, you may still have an element of muscle weakness and require a diastasis recti repair. With that being said, if there is no element of muscle weakness, and there is redundant skin, you may still undergo lipo-360 with abdominal etching and a skin resection. Based on your pictures alone, you're a candidate for lipo-360 but may have an element of skin excess without an incision. If you were to not undergo skin resection, I would not recommend abdominal etching due to the skin redundancy. Best, Dr. Sean Satey, Beverly Hills, CA.
