I met with a plastic surgeon who recommended a tummy tuck, but I don’t like the looks of the scar. He gave me a second option of having a Vasor liposuction. But I want to make sure it will not leave me with looser skin.
Answer: Vaser Liposculpture From your photos you don't seem to need a tummy tuck at all. I love Vaser on patient's like yourself. You seem to have great skin tone and underlying definition. Vaser is safe, effective and gives great outcomes for the right patients. Why have surgery that would only leave scarring. See a competent provider that does Vaser and I think you will be satisfied. Hope this is helpful. JB

Answer: Will Vaser lipo help tighten the stomach? Thank you for your pictures and questions. I think that based on your photos, you do not have enough skin laxity for a tummy tuck but have not been able to examine you in person. I think you would be a better candidate for a liposuction procedure and you can discuss options for skin tightening with your surgeon. Hope this helps!Dallas R.

Answer: Lipo Candidate - VASER HD, J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite tightening, fat grafting for buttock lift/BBL, Cellfina/Sculptra vaser + internal heating can give improvement but if you have loose skin it needs to be removed. You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty). Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.

Answer: Will Vaser lipo help tighten the stomach? Thank you for your question and photos. You do have an athletic figure, and although your lower abdomen is covered with your shorts, I assume it is similar to the upper abdomen. If you were my patient, I would do VASER Hi Def Lipo 360 degrees to reshape your torso. Based on these photos, you do not need a tummy tuck.See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. good luck.See the attached web reference.
