Upper abdomen cellulite - advice on how to make my stomach smooth? (photos)

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.

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

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.

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.

Thank you for your question regarding how to treat your upper abdomen cellulite five years after childbirth. Thank you for your history, and thank you for your pictures. In terms of treating your abdomen, I would suggest two treatments, Morpheus8 and VASER abdominal liposuction. Morpheus8 is an in-office procedure on the skin. You may need three or more treatments for definitive results. The benefit of Morpheus8 is that there is minimal downtime. The disadvantage of Morhpeus8 is that you may need three or more treatments. The more definitive treatment would be VASER liposuction. This would definitely remove excess fat and can help sculpt the anterior abdomen muscles. The VASER hi-def liposuction can sculpt muscles and give you more muscle definition. VASER abdominal liposuction takes about 3 hours under general anesthesia. Please give yourself about two weeks for recovery. I think you would get phenomenal results using VASER hi-def abdominal liposuction. Thank you for your question regarding how to treat your upper abdomen cellulite five years after childbirth.
