I’m 5’9 no kids lost 40 pound and have always had a lower belly problem. I don’t want to get a new belly button and would like to know a professional opinion, do you think I’m could get away without loose skin with just j plasma?
Answer: Do I need a tummy tuck? Or will J-Plasma & 360 lipo do the trick? Your photos suggest that a tummy tuck would provide the far superior outcome. It appears that your stomach muscles are separated and would require a repair to achieve the desirable changes.

Answer: Depends on the skin laxity Unfortunately it hard to know for sure without a clinical exam to evaluate the skin laxity of the abdomen. I would say considering that you never had childbirth or pregnancy, the abdominal muscle might not need repair which makes you in theory a candidate for liposuction / skin tightening only . Still however the skin needs to be evaluated to decide if an tummy tuck needed vs liposuction only.

Answer: Tummy tuck vs Liposuction Thank you for your question. Looking at the photos I would recommend a tummy tuck for the best results. Liposuction is a great option it will help reduce you down some inches and you will get some skin retraction but it will not help tighten up the abdominal wall muscles that might have given out with weight gain and weight loss. Tummy tuck procedure will tighten the abdominal wall muscles and remove the extra skin ultimately giving you the flattest belly one could have. I would recommend speaking to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Tummy tuck abdominoplasty horizontal tummy tuck lower body lift mommy makeover extended tummy tuck stomach lipo liposuction Thank you for your question regarding if you will need a tummy tuck or if Jay plasma and 360 Lipo will do the trick. Looking at your photos, I see you have a distended lower abdomen. Because of that, and the amount of excess fat you have on your love handles, you may be unhappy with the excess skin after your liposuction. Even J plasma will likely not be able to snap your stomach back. A tummy tuck would help the distention of your lower abdomen and get rid of that bulge permanently. Liposuction alone will likely not get rid of that bulge. You could consider getting 360 Lipo and J plasma, and if you are unsatisfied with your results, proceed to stage 2: tummy tuck. If you have any more questions regarding a tummy tuck, lower body lift, 360 circumferential lower body lift, belt lipectomy, belt abdominoplasty, or belt dermolipectomy please contact my office. Since the body lift is a big procedure, please seek an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing the lower body lift. Do your research. Make sure they have performed at least 100 tummy tuck or circumferential lower body lift surgeries and have the before and after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before and after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf. If you cannot find an experienced, tummy tuck or lower body lift surgeon in your neighborhood, consider traveling out of state if you must. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: Do I need a tummy tuck? Or will J-Plasma & 360 lipo do the trick? Thank you for your pictures and questions. Based on your photos, I think one of your major issues is diastasis (stretching) of the muscles of the abdominal wall. The only way this can be repaired is with a tummy tuck and surgical repair. No amount of liposuction or other energy device can achieve this and will leave you with an improved contour but no chance of a completely flat abdomen. Hope this helps!
