I don't want my belly button messed with, nor do I want the scar of a full tummy tuck. Can I get some benefit and improvement from lipo with Renuvion and a mini tummy tuck? Not looking for a dramatic change, just improvement somewhat equivalent to that of natural weight loss, as long as results don't end up looking botched. Or will doing nothing at all be better?

Answer: Can I get some improvement from lipo with Renuvion and a mini tummy tuck? Thank you for your question and photos. Based on the limitations you place on yourself and expect "equivalent to that of natural weight loss" results is not realistic. Natural weight loss will give you even more loose skin than what you have now. As a Total Definer surgeon, I recommend a full tummy tuck with a low pubic bone level incision staying low in the groin crease and VASER liposuction. Contrary to popular belief, a mini tummy tuck does not equal a short or shorter incision than a full tummy tuck except for the poor result one gets from that surgery. Your belly button looks aged from the loose overhanging skin rolling over the fixed belly button. I use the Renuvion, but will not give you significant improvement. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation.

Answer: The Answer to your question is your belly button What shape has your belly button become? It's becoming a horizontal slit. Why? because you have excess skin above the belly button, and it's rolling over the belly button. A 'mini-tuck' will not tighten any skin above the belly button because that surgery does not release the belly button from the surrounding skin, which would allow that skin to be transposed downward, tightening the upper abdomen. Renuvion will NOT tighten the upper abdominal skin to any meaningful extent (millimeters when there are inches to tighten). If your reticence about a full tummy tuck is the scar, I can assure you that a 'mini tuck' scar will not be as short as you think. Besides, it's not how long the scar is, its where the scar is that makes a difference in it's perceptibility. Go to an expert surgeon who can give you a normal and natural looking belly button, a very low scar, and a body contour that will boost your confidence for the rest of your life.
