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: 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.
