Will J-Plasma before a tummy tuck affect how much skin can be pulled down? Does this make the tummy tuck process more difficult?

Will j plasma or any kind of skin tightening effects how much skin can be pulled down? Because I've heard that plasma is temporary but won't it cause more scar tissue making it a little bit more difficult to perform the tummy tuck?
