Venus Legacy after tummy tuck and lipo? (Photo)

Question

Hello, I was recommended by my post op provider to do Venus legacy. I am 10 weeks post op from a tummy tuck with liposuction on my flanks and muscle repair. I like my results from surgery but would like to be a little flatter in my lower stomach. Is this recommended after already having a tummy tuck

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Best,

Thank you for your question. Venus is great to do after a tummy tuck! It will help with lymphatic drainage and also smooth out the area.
