I always had such a pretty flat tummy so this is pretty devastating. I'm 8 months postpartum and am looking terrible, tons of stretch marks and a mommy tummy. I'm planning to have breast fat transfer & Jplasma for skin tightening (lipo to abdomen and flanks). Do you think this will improve my abdomen? Such a huge insecurity of mine. Not wanting to do a tummy tuck...
Answer: Tummy improvement You will see some improvement from liposuction. You can consider adding BodyTite which uses RF technology to tighten skin up to 40%. Neither will take away the stretch marks or address abdominal wall laxity. A tummy tuck is needed for that. I encourage you to go on a few consultations with board certified plastic surgeons. Discuss your concerns and goals for surgery and ensure that you understand what you can expect in terms of results.

Answer: Mommy tummy help. Do you think lipo, breast fat transfer & J-Plasma will help? Hello @LenLove Thak you for your question! From my experience of 20 years and what I can see in the picture you could have a mini tummy tuck with best results, because the muscles are already a little distended and the Lipo and J plasma won't fix that.A mini tummy tuck is a minimally invasive alternative to standard abdominoplasty, which involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper abdomen and it can remove some of the stretch marks.A person with good physical condition who has a flaccid abdominal skin with minimal excess and little or no distension of the abdominal muscles may be a candidate for this procedure.The good thing is that the scar is really low and small.Best wishes!

Answer: Mini tummy tuck You have excess, particularly around the umbilicus and below. You would benefit from a mini tummy tuck. A transverse incision is made and a small amount of excess skin is removed. Also, the umbilicus is revised with an umbilicoplasty. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Mommy Tummy Your plan will not address muscle wall laxity and therefore infraumbilical protrusion. It will likely be a good second best to a tummy tuck though.

Answer: VASER HI DEF 4D LIPO / 360 Degree Sculpture / Body Contouring / HD Sculpting With Fat Transfer and Tummy Tuck / Mommy Makeover For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction, which can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, depending on skin laxity. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF/J Plasma/Renuvion/InMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer
