Do I need tummy tuck together with Vaser & does Vaser tighten skin? (Photos)

Thank you so much for your question.
Based on your pictures I will recommend you to have liposuction with J-plasma procedure, you do not look like a candidate for tummy tuck. Have a physical consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hope this help

Thank you for your question regarding combining Vaser liposuction with a tummy tuck. While it is possible to combine the two procedures, it is important to note that it can be tricky and risky. During a tummy tuck, the blood flow to the abdominal skin and tissue is altered, and combining this with liposuction can further affect blood flow and increase the risk of complications. Only certain areas can be safely liposuctioned in conjunction with a tummy tuck, such as the flanks. This is done to avoid constriction of blood flow to the incision, which can result in the skin around the incision dying. Therefore, I would recommend liposuction of the flanks in conjunction with the tummy tuck. However, I would caution against extensive liposuction in other areas of the abdomen during the tummy tuck procedure. It is important to discuss your goals and expectations with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon to determine the best approach for achieving your desired results while minimizing risks and complications. Thank you for your question, and I wish you the best of luck.

Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Hello @Exquisite231665, thank you for your question. You can consider a 360 liposculpture with laser, Vaser and micro air technologies to improve the body shapes, give a more even contour and the skin that is left over in the abdomen area has a better retraction without the need to make cuts using J Plasma. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeons for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez, MD FACS.

Vaser is a type of liposuction and it is common the combine tummy tuck with liposuction vaser or otherwise so the answer is yes

Dear Exquisite231665,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Your photos don't show you side views, but I would start with liposuction to remove the excess fat. Vaser will help tighten skin, but neither treat a weak muscle.

Hello. Thanks for your question and photos. Vaser Lipo is not only for tightening skin but for a more efficient fat extraction in the areas you need it. You can have excellent results from Vaser Lipo in addition to Tummy Tuck. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for an in-person exam. Good luck!

Obviously VASER wasted as you now see... You need aggressive liposculpture with vertical scar revision . Fee $5,000. Best to virtual consult with....

Hello, thank you for your question and pictures.

After evaluating your case you seem to be a great candidate for a tummy tuck to remove the skin excess on the abdomen combined with 360 liposuctions to reshape your body, The BMI need to be under 33 for surgery. By combining these procedures, we can achieve good results.

Make sure to approach to a certified surgeon to help you clear all your doubts.

Best wishes!

Vaser is a type of liposuction. It can be done alone or in conjunction with a tummy tuck. It depends what you are wanting in terms of results. I've included a video on how to determine if you need a tummy tuck or just liposuction that I hope you find helpful.
