When I stand up my stomach looks flat and firm. However, when I lean over when being intimate, using the restroom or working out the skin looks flabby, old and wrinkled. I have followed all doctor's orders and have completed 6 sessions of radio frequency and nothing. What else can be done? I feel embarrassed being intimate because this is the POV of my partner (see photos) I was never like this!
Answer: Liposuction Recovery MariahYou have an excellent result however I appreciate your concern and frustration. First question, how long postop are you? It can take as long as six months for all swelling to resolve and skin contraction to occur. Unfortunately your redundant skin is above the umbilicus and mini tummytuck is really not an option for you. Try to stay patient and positive and enjoy your result, because overall it is excellent!

Answer: How to repair the loose skin after lipo that was used for BBL? Hello, thank you for your inquiry and photos. Congratulations on your surgery, based on your photos you have excellent results. In this case in regards of the skin seems like only tummy tuck would help to obtain flat belly results. I suggest seeking board certified plastic surgeons. Best of luck!

Answer: How to repair the loose skin after lipo that was used for BBL? Thanks for your question. You have great results from your liposuction. It is normal for everyone to have the skin you mention when sitting down or bending over, without that extra skin you wouldn't be able to stand straight. Best is to keep following your surgeon's post op care instructions.

Answer: Post-Liposuction Skin Tightening -- Microneedling with Radiofrequency, Renuvion / J-Plasma, See an Expert Hi Mariah, congrats on a great result! Skin tightening through microneedling with radiofrequency is a great nonsurgical skin tightening option. As far as more invasive options go, Renuvion (J-plasma) gives the most tightening and would help with the overall appearance. Both procedures have a small amount of downtime and are capable of impressive results. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a body contouring and skin tightening expert; our practice is located here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Loose Skin Hello,I'm sorry you wasted money on technology that is much hyped but lacking any clinical evidence as being effective in truly tightening skin. You look like an ideal candidate for some sort of skin removing procedure, aka tummy tuck, but skin only. A physical exam would confirm whether a limited or modified version would be sufficient ('mini-tuck'). Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons with a decade or two of experience in body contouring. Best of luck!
