Skin tightening for mild stomach laxity, any suggestions? (Photos)

We have had excellent results with skin tightening over the past 12 years with laser liposuction. After numbing the treatment area with tumescence, the skin is tightened using the laser directly under the skin and then the deep fat is melted. Liposuction using small cannulas is performed to remove the melted fat and to sculpt the area. The huge advantage of laser liposuction is that very small incisions (less than a centimeter) are made to introduce the tools under the skin. When these tiny incisions heal on most people, they are not highly visible.

In truth, non-surgical options give only mild improvement compared to surgical lifting. Skin tightening can be done with a combination of Vanquish, truSculpt iD, Venus Legacy, Exilis, Cellutone/Zwave. However, for best results, a Tummy Tuck procedure can be combined with a high definition procedure at the same time. For best results, VASER HI-DEF Liposuction with ThermiRF, Renuvion, InMode BodyTite 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 starting MTS Dermal Rolling, AnteAGE MD Microneedling kit, SkinCeuticals B5 gel, and AnteAGE MD accelerator. Get a formal evaluation with a hi-definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer​​

Mild stomach laxity without a tummy tuck can be improved with Smart Lipo laser or Vaser ultrasound liposuction or Thermi RF. These will tighten skin at rest to a degree, with minimal access incisions.

There will always be more laxity with movement or pinching skin that may or may not improve with minimally invasive treatments.

​An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.
