Question

I had lipo360 about 5 months ago. I am experiencing a bit of loose skin above my belly button area. Did consult with PCP who confirmed it is not diastatis recti or a hernia. Tried some Venus Legacy and lymphatic massages but nothing is helping at this point. I am opposed to additional lipo revisions/tummy tuck. Will this resolve on its own or are there any nonsurgical recommendations ? Early 30s with pretty good skin elasticity (or so I thought!)

Hello, my name is Dr Igor Burko and I am a plastic surgeon at SY Aesthetics in NYC.
If you have loose skin after liposuction, your treatment options depend on the amount of loose skin that is present. If there is excess skin, the best way to address it is with surgical excision (ex: tummy tuck).

Also, you need to wait 6-12 months to see your final liposuction results.

Other non-surgical options exist to help tighten the skin (ex: renuvion J plasma, morpheus, etc)

I recommend you consult with a trained plastic surgeon to discuss your options and expectations and results.

Thank you for your inquiry. 
For me to offer a valid medical opinion, it's essential to review images of your body from various perspectives, specifically FRONT VIEW 
. I recommend seeking treatment from a board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in this procedure to achieve optimal results. Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.

Dear Magical518863,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Thank you for your photo and question.  Your best option at this point for close to 100% resolution would be skin excision removal or the Tummy Tuck that can be done with out the muscle repair since you stated it is not a distastes recti problem.  You could possibly try something a little less invasive such as the Morpheus or Body tight lasers.  Your best bet would be to consult with a laser tech or surgeon that preforms those techniques.

If you have attempted other non surgical interventions with no improvement you may need to consider an umbilicoplasty.  This will address the excess skin but does involve incisions.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
