J Plasma for mild abdominal laxity? How do I find a doctor for this?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This is difficult to answer without pictures and needs an in-person evaluation to see if you're a candidate. This can be used for abdominal laxity, but will need a combination approach with other treatments (vanquish, venus legacy, exilis, celllutone/Zwave) to get the most improvement. However, VASER combined with a tummy tuck would give the smoothest, most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a body sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The abdominal skin is an area that would be applicable for use of J plasma subdermal treatment. 
Generally speaking, subdermal J plasma should be applicable to just about any area that liposuction can be used. Liposuction does NOT necessarily have to be performed in order to use J plasma, but tunnels must be created under the skin to allow for even treatment of the area of skin. Subdermal J plasma is utilized to provide tightening of skin by application of heat to its undersurface. It will only address skin laxity and will not address tightening the abdominal wall as muscle fascia plication will.
 Expectations of skin tightening are multifactorial and evolving as surgeons use the technology more and develop best treatment protocols.

Andrew Kornstein, MD, FACS · Answer

Mild abdominal laxity can be treated in a number of ways.  Do you require muscle tightening? The clinical options will depend on your physical examination and medical history, including weight gain and loss, pregnancy, smoking and hormonal status to name a few factors. Options include: Ultherapy, Profound, J-Plasma----all can be done awake, followed by a small incision compared to classic abdominoplasty to repair muscle weakness/separation, if desired
