Will I be able to get Vaser Liposuction without having a lot of loose skin? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. You are suitable for tummy tuck with 360 degrees liposuction. Without tummy tuck surgery, liposuction only will not be beneficial for you at this time. However, if you lose a little bit more weight , then it might be an option.

Hi Herjayss,

Thank you for your question regarding the possibility of undergoing Vaser Liposuction without resulting in a lot of loose skin. Having examined your photos and considering your desire to avoid a mini tummy tuck, I understand your concerns.

Based on what I can assess from your photos, you appear to have both excess skin and excess fat. While Vaser Liposuction is effective in fat reduction and offers some degree of skin tightening, it might not be sufficient in your case. The degree of skin elasticity plays a crucial role in how your skin will retract after the procedure. In cases where there is a significant amount of excess skin, as it seems in your situation, Vaser Liposuction alone may result in loose, sagging skin post-procedure, which could lead to an unsatisfactory result.

Given this, you might find that a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) with liposuction is more suitable. A tummy tuck removes excess fat, excises redundant skin, and tightens the abdominal wall. This procedure is often more effective in achieving a flatter, more contoured abdominal profile, especially in cases where skin laxity is a concern.

I recommend a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and expectations thoroughly. During the consultation, the surgeon can evaluate your skin quality and the amount of excess fat, providing you with a personalized recommendation that aligns with your aesthetic goals.

Remember, each individual’s body reacts differently to these procedures, and a professional evaluation is key to determining the most effective and satisfactory approach for you.

Sincerely,

Dr. J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS

Vaser liposuction can effectively reduce excess fat in the stomach area and help contour the abdomen. However, its ability to prevent loose skin depends on various factors such as skin elasticity, amount of fat removed, and individual healing process. While Vaser lipo may promote skin tightening to some extent, it's important to have realistic expectations and consult with a qualified vaser surgeon to determine the most suitable approach for achieving your desired results.

Hello; there is a sad belly button appearance occurs; due to fat and loose skin in the upper abdomen. A skin fold has formed in the lower abdomen; because of excessing fat and loosing skin. You get the best results with Lipoabdominoplasty. Thus, you will get the best achievement; if Vaserlipo and Tummy Tuck are performed in a together way. Second thing is, Vaserlipo and Mini Tummy Tuck are implemented on the abdomen. If you definitely do not want a Tummy Tuck or incision scar, I give an advise for Vaserlipo and Renuvion J plasma in the abdomen for both reducing fat and tightening the skin.

Thank you for your question and pictures. Vaser Liposuction is great to remove fat and sculpt the body. It can also promote skin contraction to some extent, which might minimize the risk of loose skin post-procedure. However, if you're concerned about significant skin laxity after Vaser Liposuction, adding Renuvion skin tightening could be a beneficial complement. Renuvion, which uses a combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma, can dramatically enhance skin tightening in the treated area, offering an effective solution to tighten and rejuvenate the skin without the need for a tummy tuck. This combination can be particularly useful for patients who wish to avoid more invasive surgery and are looking for a procedure with a potentially quicker recovery and less scarring. Discussing these options with a cosmetic surgeon who has experience with both Vaser Liposuction and Renuvion can provide you with a personalized approach to meet your goals.
