I've previously had a tummy tuck 8 years ago after gaining and loosing a good amount of weight from pregnancy. I would prefer not to get another tummy tuck. My skin is loose but doesn't hang like before my first tummy tuck. I understand that the best suggestion would be a lipo/tummy tuck option for best results. I've looked everywhere and cannot find pictures similar to mine with great results from lipo/jplasma so I come here for your opinions.
Answer: Treatment options Based on your pictures your best option is to redo the tummy tuck. Your muscle wall is bulging so either you didn’t have proper muscle tightening or muscle tightening needs to be redone. I purchased the J plasma device for around $120,000 one and a half years ago. Are used it for six months and saw zero skin improvements. In my opinion this device is a complete sham and should be used for what it was built for which is to treat endometriosis. It potentially can serve a role for facial ablative skin resurfacing but it does not perform well tightening skin in conjunction with liposuction. patient had significantly increased pain during and after the procedure with the use of J plasma by Renuvion. I have since sold a device at a substantial loss but feel I am serving my patients far better by not recommending it. Since you already have the tummy tuck scar simply re-doing that procedure correctly makes by far the most sense to me. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
