Hi, I’m I definitely going ahead with Vaser Liop on my abdominal area and flanks. I’ve enquired with 2 surgeons and both have said I’m a good candidate for it, my only issue is one has suggested a mini Tummy tuck for excess skin on my lower tummy, where the other surgeon said I shouldn’t be left with a fold. I exercise 4 to 5 times a week, I’m healthy at 42 years old. Would you go for the tummy tuck?

Answer: Mini Tuck and HD Lipo Exercising 4-5 times a week is a huge deal, and congratulations to you! HD lipo will definitely help remove excess fat, and enhance your toned, athletic body. However, the redundancy of skin under your belly button will be best served with an excision. Depending on how much fat your surgeon will remove, you will inherently have some degree of skin laxity. Now, adding that skin laxity (looseness) to the current skin redundancy (excess) may become an issue. The more taught your skin is, the better the results will be.

Answer: Tummy Tuck vs Liposuction Liposuction alone (even when adding VASER) removes fat but does not have the ability to significantly tighten up loose skin. There can be some minimal to moderate skin tightening when adding on VASER (Ultrasound-assisted) or radiofrequency to traditional liposuction. The advantage of a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is the ability to remove excess skin and also address the underlying musculature. In patients with rectus diastasis, a tummy tuck allows for tightening of the abdominal wall (muscle plication) which cannot be performed with liposuction alone.
