Do I have loose skin? I had persist stomach ledge since 14 (Photo)

I personally would recommend combining liposuction with a skin tightening device like Renuvion. I don't think you would need a tummy tuck, as you look pretty young from the photos, and your skin should retract a fair amount.

Hi DianaJ89, Thank you for your question regarding "Do I have loose skin?" Thank you for your history and your pictures. Yes, you have excess abdominal skin and fat. Based on your pictures, you would do best with a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, rather than lipo. A tummy tuck would eliminate your excess abdominal skin and fat. If you undergo liposuction, even if you use VASER liposuction, there is no guarantee that your abdominal skin will snap back. If you have VASER liposuction, you will probably will have skin irregularities and asymmetries. I hope I have answered your questions about "Do I have loose skin?' Good luck. Sincerely, Dr. J. Timothy Katzen, MD

Hello; There is fat in your abdomen. At the same time, there is serious skin laxity in your upper abdomen and especially, in your lower abdomen as well. Whether the fat is removed with Liposuction or Vaserlipo, this existing skin laxity; will increase even more afterwards. If your skin laxity in your lower abdomen increases, you may need for a skin removal surgery; such as Mini Tummy Tuck. For patients like you, who do not want incision surgery and have not yet had fat removal; I recommend for Vaserlipo and Renuvion J Plasma or Vaserlipo and Bodytite treatments.
