Post surgery 6 months I have loose skin and lines. How best can I treat them I don’t want a tummy tuck. I had 8 sessions of endermologie post surgery and have had a couple of MLD massages. Is there anything that will get rid of the loose skin and make my stomach look more even I don’t want more surgery or a tummy tuck scar. I have spoken to my PS he said need to wait at least a year to see the full results - but I feel self conscious about my tummy and feel that I should have better results.
Answer: Post op RF treatments Hi There, Not all skin is created the same and as such not all skin with contract the same post laser/vaser /lipo treatment. Patients will always have some skin and in some pictures when you bend it will result in some folds. The best advice is to utilize external skin tightening modalities to help you improve and tighten your skin. These modalities require more than one treatment!

Answer: Vaser liposuction hello gullo82 Excess skin would usually shrink back over the area of the body, liposuction is used to reduce volume not tighten skin. We now have a number of non surgical devices such as ThermiSmooth radiofrequency and VelaShape3 to help tighten skin after liposuction for patients who will benefit from this additional care. This allows us to provide our patients with the best results possible. #looseskin #post-op

Answer: Loose Skin, Swelling, or Residual Fat? Thank you for your questions and photos. Any type of liposuction, including Vaser, can leave you with loose skin, especially, if you already had some loose skin to begin with. Vaser does result in more skin tightening than liposuction alone and can sometime take up to one year to see final results. At 6 months post-surgery, most of your swelling should be gone, but not all. There are several non-surgical devices on the market for skin tightening (and endermologie is not the best, in my opinion). At my office, we have been getting great results with Thermi250. The minimally-invasive treatment, ThermiTight is perhaps the best device currently for skin tightening. This treatment is done through just a few needle-holes in the skin using local anesthesia (similar to liposuction). There is very little down-time and risks of the procedure are very low. Other devices include: Venus Legacy, Exillis, Viora Reaction, Tru-Sculpt, Thermage, VelaShape, and others. Non-surgical devices work pretty well, but often also rely on the patient's ability to heal and form new collagen, so results are not necessarily consistent from one patient to the next. Another possibility is that you could have areas of residual fat - this is something your surgeon should determine. All surgeons can get sub-optimal results on occasion. The best surgeons recognize this and are willing to do what it takes to make things right. So, if after 9-12 months, you are still not satisfied with results, then let your surgeon know this. Chances are, he or she will make sure you are happy with results.
