Question

35 y/o, 134lb, powerlifter/athlete. Mother of 2 (14 y/o, 11 y/o). First child naturally, Second child Csection. I do Not like the appearance of my lower stomach skin. I feel that Renuvion would be a good choice just to “Tighten/Smooth” my lower stomach skin. I do NOT want a tummy tuck! Not trying to change my entire stomach appearance, just tighten/smooth my lower stomach above my C-section scar. Would Renuvion achieve this result ? Cost $3,000-$5,000 to address that area ? Thanks :)

Renuvion will leave you disappointed
The only realistic options for getting tight abdominal skin after pregnancy is proper skin surgery.
I Purchased Renuvion and used it for about a year and saw no visible skin improvement and neither did any of my patients.
The procedure is generally always done in conjunction with Liposuction. Renuvion, without Liposuction is simply a bad idea, unless the device is being used for facial ablative resurfacing.
Delivering consistent quality, liposuction results is more difficult than most people realize. Making an accurate assessment regarding a postpartum abdomen to the point of having a clear understanding of what each procedure can, and cannot deliver the hallmark of a quality consultation.
If postpartum women could get tight skin without a tummy tuck, nobody would be getting tummy tucks.
You are not the first try and reinvent the wheel and circumvent the necessity for a tummy tuck to treat pregnancy related changes.
Spending thousands of dollars on experimental surgery is probably not the best choice you can make.
Liposuction has its place and can deliver quality results but results are primarily dependent on someones candidacy for the procedure Combine with the skill and experience of the provider.
Finding providers who have truly master Liposuction is not at all easy or straightforward.
During consultations ask providers to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients, who have similar body characteristics to your own, for whatever procedure you are contemplating.
An experienced provider should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. In fact, highly experienced surgeons should have hundreds or preferably thousands of before and after pictures to choose from.
Being shown handful of pre-selected images, representing the best results of the providers career is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider or how many procedures they’ve actually performed.
No one has to have a tummy tuck. Don’t expect Liposuction to deliver tummy tuck results
