19 months ago, I got a 360Lipo with Renuvion. I had some loose skin with stretch marks on my abs. My stomach skin never fully contracted and I noticed some big holes in my lower abdomen. Did the surgeon over-removed fat or is post-liposuction fibrosis? Would an ultrasound exam help me find out what it is? Can I treat it with ultrasound and RF or do I need correction surgery?
Answer: Liposuction You do have some excess skin and a few areas from aggressive liposuction. You would benefit from a tummy tuck to remove the excess skin and tighten your abdomen. Fat transfers could be done or Sculptra injections if needed. If you do not mind the loose skin, then try fat transfers or Sculptra injections.

Answer: Reason-Result-Recommendations Hello; when you have loose skin; too much Liposuction has been done and pits have formed. By the way, no skin tightening implementation was done. Therefore, the relevant skin remained loose; above the belly button, due to excess skin; wrinkles have formed and depressions have formed in the lower abdomen as well. Possibly, there is also fibrosis. At this stage, unfortunately, it is not possible for performing a surgery; which will completely fix these. Full Abdominoplasty cannot be realized. Mini Abdominoplasty and fat injection can be applied for the lower abdomen field. In the upper abdomen; for skin tightening; Renuvion J Plasma technique can be tried.

Answer: Mini tummy tuck and possible umbilicoplasty You do have contour deformities, most of which are low. You may benefit from a mini tummy tuck and perhaps an umbilicoplasty. Best Wishes. Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: This is why you should avoid Renuvion and General anesthesia lipo. Lipo under gen. anesthesia doesn't allow the doc to fine tune the results like he/she can do under local with the patient being able to be stood up and see what needs to be done. Also renuvion can give very irregular and distorted results. Micro lipo under local with a little iv sedation and bodytite/morpheus is the way to go when you want quality results.

Answer: Too much skin You needed it then, and you need it now: a tummy tuck. Your surgeon recognized that but instead used a 'skin tightening' device instead. Either incompetence or dishonesty on their part. This unfortunate issue for you illustrates a very important point: skin tightening devices are not a replacement for skin removing surgeries. Get your tummy tuck and go to a provider that is honest and knowledgeable.
