I've been considering lipo, and last night I saw an infomercial last night for the Tummy Tuck Belt -- it's a system that involves putting on a "thermal accelerator" cream, followed by 10 minutes in what looks like a tummy compression garment (the first 2 min are spent doing to standing ab crunches). The websites claims "Typical results are 0.5" first week and 1" in 30 days without lifestyle change." Is it possible for something like this to actually work? The pictures are really impressive.
Answer: Can the tummy tuck belt really work? Although this may sound like a great way to shed the extra fat without breaking the bank, it is very unlikely that the tummy tuck belt can yield noticeable results let alone results similar to an actual tummy tuck surgical procedure. If you are interested in non surgical procedures, I encourage you to research Coolscultping. Cold suctions are placed on several areas of the tummy to freeze fat cells. It is recommended to target specific areas in two office visits to achieve the best rests. Good luck in your search.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Belt From a medical standpoint, there is no scientific data to support this or similar products. One may get strengthening of abs doing this, but skin tightening and fat loss is unlikely. The photos do show an improvement, but I think they are misleading, and can easily be the result of model sticking tummy our or in. If you are interested in non surgical fat loss for the abdominal region, consider cool sculpt. However, as much extra skin as the model has in the before photo, most plastic surgeons would agree a tummy tuck would be the most definitive procedure. Good luck and be sure to see a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Tummy tuck belt tummy tuck abdominoplasty abdominal liposuction flat tummy tummy creams hi-def six pack Hi MakenzieR, Thank you for this question regarding a magical Tummy Tuck Belt. Now, you need to know that I believe every infomercial, everything I watch on TV, and everything on the internet. Therefore, I am going to buy all Tummy Tuck Belts that they will sell to me and close my plastic surgery practice! No, sorry. A flat tummy is not that easy. Unfortunately, I do not not believe the Tummy Tuck Belt works, nor do I believe every infomercial and everything on TV and the internet. Back to reality. You may get a flat tummy under clothes when you are wearing the belt. However, when you remove the magical Tummy Tuck Belt, you are back to square one. In the two pictures that you presented, both patients have abdominal muscle wall weakness and skin laxity. They only have minimal abdominal fat. The only way to fix the above abdominal wall muscle laxity is with an abdominoplasty with muscle plication. During an abdominoplasty, an incision is made underneath the beltline and tissue dissection is carried up to the rib cage. The rectus abdominis muscles are sewn together with permanent sutures resulting in a permanent flat abdomen. Why wait 30 days to maybe reduce your tummy by one inch with the belt and the cream, when I can reduce your tummy permanently by four or more inches in 2 to 3 hours, guaranteeed. After a tummy tuck, your abdomen will not come back if you remove your binder or forget to apply the "thermal accelerator" cream!! I hope that I have not shattered your dreams regarding the magical Tummy Tuck Belt. Thank you for your question. If you have any more questions regarding the tummy tuck, abdominoplasty, or abdominal wall muscle tightening, please contact my office. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: Tummy tuck belt vs a tummy tuck Thank you for your question. While there are certain skin care treatments that can help restore some elasticity to the skin, there will be limits. I would be very weary of devices on infomercials as they may be overselling expectations. A tummy tuck procedure will be a very long lasting and satisfying procedure that address laxity of the skin, excess fatty tissue and tightening of the underlying muscles. I would recommend that you visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who can help discuss your options in more detail.

Answer: Re: tummy tuck belt Hi- thanks for your question! Sorry to say that this probably won't shrink anything other than your bank account :( If you are looking for non-invasive methods to improve your waistline, there are some great FDA-cleared options such as CoolSculpting.

Answer: Tell me tuck belt? I don't think so Thanks much for reaching out. Unfortunately there are a lot of products like this out there in that claim to have these results. From creams to garments to wraps. Even the concept behind them don't make any sense. If you have loose loose skin that is hanging nothing will remove it other than a scalpel. If something sounds too good to be true it usually is. There are many great surgeons out there that can provide you with a means to your goals. Many offer specials and have various financing options so your goals may be closer than you think.
