Question

I am not wanting a tummy tuck but would like to have some of this lose skin tightened. Would Laser Lipo or Renuvion help acheive a less evident overhang?

Gregory Lakin, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. You have skin laxity and excess tissue in the lower abdomen; a mini tummy tuck would be the most effective way to remove the extra skin and achieve a flatter contour. This procedure specifically targets the area below the belly button, offering a shorter scar and faster recovery compared to a full tummy tuck. It can also be combined with liposuction for better definition. While non-surgical options like Laser Lipo or Renuvion might provide some skin tightening and help reduce the overhang’s appearance, they usually deliver more subtle results and might not fully address the laxity. You should have a consultation with a board-certified surgeon to get a full examination and determine whether this laxity can improve with Laser Lipo or Renuvion, or if the mini tummy tuck is your best option.

Thoughtful , thank you for sharing your photos.   I can see you have some skin laxity and a lower abdominal roll. In my experience, Liposuction with Renuvion can improve the skin laxity and the roll significantly.  It will probably not completely remove the roll, but in some case it can. In most cases you will still have little roll, but in a minority of cases like yours it can be eliminated.

Hi thank you for sharing your presentation and concerns. 
Each patient is unique with significant differences to another patient. Although the photos are of low resolution and hard to visualise, it may appear that there is excess skin in the lower abdomen.
There are limitations and clear indications for all aesthetic procedures including energy based liposuction. At times, the use of certain modalities may make the appearance of excess skin more prominent. This may not meet your satisfaction. It is best to get a quality consultation from a qualified medical practitioner trained in aesthetic medicine and surgery.
Whilst you may not be keen in tummy tuck surgery for valid reasons, it is important to look into all your options including the variations of tummy tuck surgery. Mini -Abdominoplasty may address lower abdominal excess skin. Again, please consult a specialist in cosmetic surgery and medicine. You may want to refer to some basic information about tummy tuck surgery at our webpage at the link below.
In conclusion, take time to look into all options including surgical options prior to making a quality decision for your presentation.

Unfortunately your tummy overhang will not respond to lipo and Renuvion.  A mini tummy tuck would be your best option.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

Based on the nicely post of photos, you can try liposuction with plasma, end delays, body tight in a few sessions, but most likely the best result could be from me mini tummy tuck with Jay plasma and liposuction versus a full tummy tuck. Best virtual consult with for better explanation expect fees to range from $5000-$12,000. Again, best of virtual consult with.
