I am 36 years old, 130 lbs with 2 kids. I have alot of loose skin on my upper abdomen. I have very minimal body fat which seems to make it look worse. I'm not sure about a tummy tuck since my loose skin is not below the naval and I'm also not interested in getting a reverse tummy tuck because of the scar. Is there any kind of laser, (ie: Morpheus) that could help tighten it up a bit? I'm really not looking to do anything too invasive if I can avoid it. Thanks for the feedback in advance

Answer: Tighten up loose skin in the abdomen with Morpheus8 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.

Answer: Loose skin From your photos it appears you are healthy and trim, so it is understandable why you are not wanting to explore a tummy tuck! Morpheus8 treatments may provide some improvement in skin tone and texture, but it will largely depend on the elasticity of your skin. I encourage you to meet with a provider for a consultation to determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment.

Answer: Loose skin on upper abdomen Given your specific concerns and preference for a less invasive procedure, it is understandable that you are hesitant about a traditional tummy tuck or reverse tummy tuck. In such cases, non-invasive treatments like laser treatments or radiofrequency devices such as Morpheus may be worth considering to help tighten loose skin in the upper abdomen.

Answer: Non-surgical options Thank you for sharing your photos! If you have any hanging skin, you might be a candidate for a non-invasive procedure called Thermage (no incision!) that can tighten skin and stimulate your body to make healthier collagen—the building block that provides structure to your skin. The procedure uses radiofrequency technology called ThermaCool® that has been clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin. Fast and easy, Thermage requires no downtime from normal activities. Tighten and lift without surgery, injections, or downtime. Another treatment that helps smooth skin is micro-RF. Used in combination with Thermage and non-ablative lasers this can be a powerful nonsurgical treatment to help tighten and smooth skin all over the body. I suggest making an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options in more detail!
