How "risky" is subdermal J Plasma without Lipo? More risky than liposuction?

Question

In a question about it on RealSelf on doctor replied that it wasn't approved for abdomen and "sounds risky." Thoughts?

Hello,
If you are looking for improved contours/shape, and targeted fat reduction, there is nothing better than liposuction performed by an appropriately trained, skilled, and highly experienced ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeon. If you are in need of skin tightening, the holy grail of for non-surgical modalities, there is nothing that will work with any clinical significance.  Don't fall for the multi-million dollar marketing campaigns of this or any other high tech device out there.  Standard liposuction by an expert is the benchmark. Best of luck!

J plasma for mild to moderate laxity of abdomen or other areas is a relatively new use for this technology, but can be performed safely. Keep in mind, if you have skin laxity, you may not be a candidate for liposuction alone. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction, which can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, depending on skin laxity. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer
