I was an overweight teen and although happy with overall look, I don’t like my love handles/flanks and cannot get muscle def in abs, although they feel hard w/ training. One Vaser Surgeon turned me away saying I won’t get any benefit from Vaser & the scar tissue will stop optimum T/T results afterwards, second one said some improvement with lipo alone. I’d (obviously) want to avoid a scar, but what is the best way forward? I want a “V” shape. 35yr, 5’10”, 63kg, 143lbs

Answer: Vaser HI DEF lipo I think the results you are attempting to achieve are realistic with lipo alone. Vaser Hi Def is likely the treatment modality for you. A tummy tuck alone will not give you definitiion and your skin should tighten with vaser assisted lipo.

Answer: Vaser Liposuction or Tummy Tuck? Hi and thank you for your question. In most cases of excess skin on the abdomen there isn't a straight answer whether is better performing a tummy tuck or vaser liposuction. It depends on various factors, among which: 1. the amount of excess skin present 2. the quality of the skin 3. patient's expectations and desired outcome According to your pictures, you would be able to obtain a good result with vaser liposuction alone, due to its ability to tighten the skin during the weeks/months after the procedure. If you would be happy with a flat tummy, even though still moderately soft, this can be your procedure of choice. On the contrary, if you aim for a flat tummy with very firm skin, perhaps you should consider a tummy tuck. This procedure would get rid of excess skin, literally pulling down the skin of your lower abdomen until is flat and firm. The downsides are mainly a huge scar from side to side, the re-positioning of your belly button and a longer recovery. In my opinion, it's always better trying vaser liposuction first. Most people are really satisfied with the skin tightening and change in shape obtained after only 6 weeks of recovery. First thing to do is to have your abdomen assessed by a surgeon, who will have a feel of your skin and fat consistency. Hope this helps. Good luck!!
