Hello, I work out and eat right but still 5 years after my only child I cannot get rid of my cellulite on my upper abdomen. Im strong and can do ab workouts fine so i just need advice on how to make my stomach smooth abd possibley more toned. Id like to remove the lower fat pudge as well.
Answer: Cellulite Many people have issues determining if they have skin laxity or cellulite. Lifting the skin above the indentation of the dimple can help differentiate between skin laxity and a true cellulite dimple. If the dimple goes away, it is laxity and can be treated with Morpheus8, PiXel8, Venus Legacy, and other radiofrequency devices. If it is Cellulite, then QWO or Cellfina is likely the best course of treatment. It may need to be combined with radiofrequency treatments to traet the overall area, where there may be both cellulite and skin laxity.

Answer: Consider liposuction and skin tightening Thanks for your question and the photos you provided. I would consider liposuction combined with skin tightening to enhance your abdomen. There are many options for skin tightening: 1. J Plasma 2. Morpheus 8 3. Bodytite 4. Smart Lipo (laser) Be sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss which option would be best. Good luck

Answer: Great News! Good news it is not cellulite! The slight laxity you have is likely from pregnancy. I would recommend liposuction with internal skin tightening like renuvion. That will remove excess fat deposits and help the skin to contract and improve the texture. Additionally I would recommend 3-4 session of microneedling with radio frequency which would improve collagen and the thickness of your dermis.

Answer: Treatment to address skin laxity and excess fat Thank you for your question. From your description, it seems the issue you're facing might not be cellulite, but rather loose or excess skin, which is common post-pregnancy and can give a similar appearance to cellulite. A minimally invasive skin tightening procedure might be beneficial if the looseness is minimal. If the laxity is more significant, a surgical procedure such as a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) combined with liposuction might be more suitable. This can remove the excess skin and fat, and tighten the underlying abdominal muscles, helping to achieve a smoother, flatter appearance and potentially more toned look in the lower abdomen. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss these options and find the most appropriate treatment plan for you.

Answer: Abdominal etching Great question! You have a beautiful physique to start. Based on your pictures, the ideal procedure for you would be VASER assisted liposculpting with Renuvion J plasma skin tightening vs BodyTite of the abdomen and flanks - essentially, high definition lipo with abdominal etching. This will not only remove the fat but will help define the underlying muscles and tighten the skin. Based on the pictures, it's hard to say whether you have a diastasis, however, unlikely - with a low likelihood to require a skin resection. Best, Dr. Satey, Beverly Hills, CA.
