Renuvion vs Tummy Tuck - which procedure is best for me? (photos)

Thank you for your photos and question. Renuvion is NOT interchangeable with a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck addresses the muscle and skin laxity vs Renuvion for skin laxity only. To get an athletic, flat abdomen and an hourglass figure, you would do best with VASER Hi Def Lipo 360 degrees and a tummy tuck with a low pubic bone level incision. This is a 3D transformation of your torso vs a standard tummy tuck which is a 2D operation.
See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. See attached web reference. Good luck.

Dear Dawncm,
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. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Liposuction with Renuvion could give good results, but you would get your tightest abdomen with a tummy tuck. If you chose the first choice, EMSculpt could later be done to help tighten your abdominal wall.

Your abdomen looks great after having had four children.
Your skin excess seems to be minimal when standing but is "probably" worse when flexed or seated.
The four children have stretched your abdominal muscles(in the lower belly) elevating the position of your belly button.
What I offer my patients is J Plasma/Renuvion to tighten the abdominal skin along with a small(C-section incision for muscle tightening from rib to pubis); in this way your skin and muscles are reconstructed with only a small well concealed incision.
Hope this helps

Renuvion (formerly J plasma) tightens the skin using helium plasma and radiofrequency. The advantages to Renuvion are: smaller incisions and less downtime. Renuvion cannot treat underlying rectus diastasis (muscle separation common after pregnancy) which is treated with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). I recommend speaking to a board-certified or board-eligible plastic surgeon about your options and individual priorities to come up with the best treatment plan.
