Answer: Renuvion vs Tummy Tuck - which procedure is best for me? 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

Answer: Renuvion vs. Tummy Tuck 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.
