J-Plasma before children make pregnancy painful later on due to the stretching?

Question

I am 25 years old with no children but plan to in the next 4 years. I am considering having Vaser lipo to the abdominal area and then J-Plasma afterwards. If I were to have children in the next 4 years will it be painful from the stretching that occurs during pregnancy due to the skin being tight. Also would I be at more risk of developing stretch marks?

J plasma before pregnancy will not hurt and keeps your skin tighter and more contoured.
You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

Thanks for your question. This treatment will still allow your skin and soft tissues to stretch with pregnancy or with weight changes. I can't say for sure if it would affect the tendency to develop stretch marks or not, but that is an interesting question. My instinct would be that it would not affect it (positively or negatively), but I'm not sure we know the answer for sure. Best wishes

Hi Toronto,Great question!The reason women get stretch marks with pregnancy is multifactorial. Weight gain and genetics play a part.Vaser Liposuction and Renuvion is a great combination of Technologies for removing volume and tightening skin, it doesn’t effect getting pregnant or the process of growing with the pregnancy.After pregnancy you can do Vaser and Renuvion again, if you like, or if a lot of loose skin, a Tummy Tuck.Best.
