I’m considering a tummy tuck because I’m up happy with the loose skin above my belly button and on my lower belly but do not have a ton of skin so I am afraid of a high scar, I do have DR but not terrible. I am scared of the scars since I’ve worked so hard in the gym. Would the j plasma or skin tightening plus lipo give me the results I want?

Answer: Skin Tightening Recommendation Hello, Thank you for your question. This is Dr. James Fernau from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In your case, I would recommend a skin tightening procedure called Renuvion to help correct the loose skin that will not go away with diet and exercise alone. Renuvion combines helium plasma with a unique RF (radiofrequency) energy to provide contraction of the underlying tissues and is used under the skin. It is a minimally invasive device that patients are typically very satisfied with. In addition to the Renuvion, I would perform SAFE Liposuction without aspiration which creates a plane for the Renuvion to work. There are both immediate and long-term effects with Renuvion. The effect of the treatment will continue to improve over the course of 6-9 months as the body goes through the healing process. I recommend a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine the best plan for your desired results. Thank you and best wishes. Sincerely, James Fernau, MD FACS
