5'3, 146lbs, would getting Lipo 360 with J-Plasma instead of a tummy tuck give me good results? (Photo)

Question

I am 5’3” and 146 lbs. I am borderline between having a Lipo 360 with J-plasma or a Tummy Tuck. Would I still see good results from the Lipo or should I get a Tummy Tuck? I do have a little bit of stretch marks below my belly button but those don’t bother me at all.

It appears you have too much skin.  Liposuction with J-Plasma would not solve the inadequate excess skin that will hang afterwards.  Most likely you will need a tummy tuck.  If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement.  The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.

Best Wishes,

With only one posted photo it’s difficult to give an accurate response. Therefore I might recommend liposuction in combination with the J plasma and a full tummy tuck. Fee 8000 and $15,000. Virtual consult for a better determination.

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Liposuction has advanced along so well that it is rare to need tummy tucks anymore.  BodytiteRF and morpheus added to the lipo has helped skin retraction a lot and smoothed out results easily and quickly.  I prefer bodtiteRF/Morpheus over j plasma (renuvion) since it is more effective and controlled with consistent results.
