Hi, hoping for treatment recommendations. I've been researching smartlipo and power shape ultrasonic treatments. I'm 40, 5' 5", 130 pounds, I exercise but have stubborn fat/bulge on my mid-adomen. I've had 2 c sections but told i dont have ab seperation. The skin is a little loose but not bad. I had coolsculpting 5 years ago and saw little/no results. What do you recommend? I'm a bit afraid of anything to invasive or that might cause a bad/uneven result.
Answer: Battle of the Bulge Judging by your photos and history provided, it is my opinion that you are a the perfect patient for 360 Liposuction. All of my patients present for Lipo: nervous and sleepless but they leave stating:" If only I had known that this would be so easy ...then I would have slept soundly last night". Unlike Coolsculpting, you be able to see the fat that has been aspirated into a container, at the end of the procedure. I suggest that you watch a few educational videos about Lipo and converse with patients who have already completed the procedure. Also, continue your exercise routine, you appear to have elastic healthy skin and good muscle tone which bodes well for your post-lipo body. Hoping this is helpful.

Answer: Likely Due to Muscle Separation While some of what you see is skin and fat, you have the characteristic appearance, on pictures of diastasis recti, or rectus muscle separation. Although it may be minor, it is most likely present after two pregnancies. This can unfortunately only be fixed with a formal abdominoplasty. Liposuction or SMARTLipo will provide some skin tightening but the convex nature of the abdomen will only be fixed with muscle tightening.

Answer: Emsculpt might help JME thank you for sharing your photos. As I look at them you have some subcutaneous fat but not that much. As far as noninvasive treatments are concerned: I don't think you are a good candidate for Coolsculptiing and I don't think Coolsculpting works that well even in better circumstances. Your abdomen bulge is at least partially and maybe mostly from a bulge in the muscle wall. This is the result of poor muscle tone and perhaps some internal fat. I think Emsculpt will help with muscle tone and fat loss. You may be a candidate for liposuction as well but it hard to tell from your photos.

Answer: How do you fix that stomach bulge if you're a fit mom? You're in great shape with excellent abdominal muscle tone. Nonetheless, the side view photos demonstrate the classic bulge of separated abdominal muscles. The separation is mild, but obvious to anyone who does tummy tucks and lipo routinely. Lipo will reduce the amount of fat that you pinch, but it won't make your belly flat because the flatness can only be achieved with muscle tightening. Muscle tightening can only be achieved with a tummy tuck. Anything else will NOT give you optimal results. If you want optimal results, I would recommend a lipo-tummy tuck combo.

Answer: Vaser ultrasound liposuction for stubborn abdomen fat In our practice, we treat many prior Cool Sculpting patients with Vaser ultrasound liposuction. This will target remaining stubborn fat and help with skin tightening, similar to Smart Lipo laser liposuction. Prior Cool Sculpting can have thick, lumpy scar tissue. Vaser helps this also. You should get a nice result, minimally invasive and avoids larger surgeries. An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.
