What non-surgical skin tightening do you recommend post-pregnancy - V-shape, Cryo T-Shock, CryoToning, Ulthera, Thermi?

Question

What is the best non-surgical method of tightening loose skin after pregnancy? I would be happy with a modest improvement and I don't want to do a mini tummy tuck. But am I just throwing away my money with any of the RF or ultrasound-based treatments out there? Do any of them address postpartum skin laxity?

Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question and pictures. You would be throwing your money away with any totally non-invasive skin tightening treatment in your case. Your best option would be a tummy tuck, however, if you are opposed to surgery then a subdermal radiofrequency treatment such as ThermiTight is your best option to get at least some skin tightening. It's important to have realistic expectations about what non-surgical treatments can accomplish when compared to surgery. Make sure you see an experienced physician for an in-person consultation and evaluation. Best wishes.

In truth, non-surgical options give only mild improvement compared to surgical lifting. Skin tightening can be done with a combination of Vanquish, truSculpt iD, Venus Legacy, Exilis, Cellutone/Zwave. However, for best results, a Tummy Tuck procedure can be combined with a high definition procedure at the same time. For best results, I recommend VASER HI-DEF Liposuction with ThermiRF, 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

Don't kid yourself ! None of the non-invasive skin tightening tools will gain you tightening of your abdomen. You will need a combination of a mini tummy tuck and reverse tummy tuck to get rid of your lower and upper abdominal skin redundancy. Everything you mentioned doesn't work.
