Thank you for your photos 360 liposuction with j plasma will do the best for your back area. The skin is thicker and more elastic in that area so the liposuction will help remove the fat and j plasma can help tighten your skin. Unfortunately liposuction in the front of your abdomen will likely make your skin appear more loose and saggy. It appears you have significant excess skin in the front as well as stretch marks. It is unlikely that the liposuction with j plasma will be enough to make your skin appear tight. You will probably need a tummy tuck to remove the extra skin in the front. The only way to determine this for sure is to have an in-office evaluation to examine your skin and tissue quality. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MDBoard-Certified Plastic Surgeon
Based on your pictures you are not a really great liposuction candidate.Your fat layer is moderately thick and you have moderate skin laxity.The front of your abdomen will more or less look the same but your skin will come closer to your abdomen by about 3/4 of an inch. Expect the sides to come in 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch.The biggest potential improvement Will be on your back side reducing your love handles.Well done liposuction will mimic losing a significant amount of weight.If liposuction is not done well then the results will be less than.My first hand experience using J plasma for about a year delivered zero noticeable skin tightening. I have since sold the device because it didn’t deliver.To get an impressive result you probably need a full tummy tuck.It’s a little hard to make an assessment based on the pictures alone.The ideal candidate for Liposuction is what I call the “perfect triad” and is young, tight and pudgy.It looks to me like you have pregnancy related changes of your abdomen and these are not treated by liposuction because pregnancy does not cause changes in fat distribution.Pregnancy related changes are specifically muscle separation call diastases recti and abdominal skin laxity.If you just want your midsection to be a little smaller Liposuction will do that just fine. if you’re looking for a modest improvement Liposuction may be perfect for you.Look for before and after pictures of patients with the same degree of skin laxity and thickness of subcutaneous fat in the before pictures. you can have an improvement but improvement would be much greater from a tummy tuck. In many ways you’re a much better candidate for Liposuction on your back side and you are a lesser candidate for Liposuction on your front side. The reason for that is the front side has pregnancy related changes and these are not treated with Liposuction.Forgive me if I’m being a little pacifistic.You may be a much better candidate than I’m guessing.Likewise, some people are thrilled with just subtle improvements while others need a transformation to justify having the procedure.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD
