I'm trying to decide if I need a tummy tuck or if renuvion would suffice. I really don't want the scar of a tummy tuck. My surgeon said it was possible to do renuvion instead of a tummy tuck but I would like some other opinions.
Answer: #Tummytuck provides more contouring on more tissue levels Hi Nursetobe2019, Renuvion will not remove the pinchable skin or fix muscle laxity/diastasis (can't see this in a still pic). If your goal is to be as flat as possible and reshape your belly button, the TT is the best option-it will address muscle, fat and skin--of course recovery and scars are longer. A TT should not be done if you may have future childbearing. Once you know if the trade offs are worth it, have a consultation with multiple plastic surgeons. Good luck!

Answer: Abdomen Liposuction and Renuvion will give you fairly good results, but you would get a flatter abdomen with a tummy tuck to tighten the muscles and remove excess skin. You could also add EMSculpt after liposuction to help tighten and pull in weak muscles.

Answer: Tummy Tuck vs Renuvion Alone While Renuvion J Plasma is effective at tightening skin through its effect on collagen contraction on the treated areas, it does have its limitations. Based on your pictures you will likely benefit from a full tummy tuck in order to address the excess skin that is contributing to the appearance of irregularities and dimpling on your abdomen. A tummy tuck with muscle plication addresses moderate to severe skin redundancy (loose skin) and tightens your abdominal muscles hence, giving the appearance of a flatter abdomen. A virtual or in person consultation with a TummyTuck specialist will provide you an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Brandon Richland, MD

Answer: Would Renuvion help me achieve desired results or will I need a tummy tuck? Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these photos, you have both loose skin and excess fat. Renuvion will not be able to tighten your skin to give you a good result. I use Renuvion in the appropriate candidate. You will need a tummy tuck and liposuction of your torso with a low pubic bone level incision which can be covered by your bikini. See a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Answer: Tummy Tuck or Renuvion It's all about YOUR expectation. Renuvion can effectively tighten the skin, but it's important to note that it will not modify your belly button or address potential diastasis recti, which is abdominal muscle separation. Also, it's important to understand that the results of Renuvion may not be perfect, and some skin laxity may remain. However, with proper planning and realistic expectations, Renuvion can be a valuable tool in achieving your desired cosmetic outcomes.
