Loose skin/fibrosis after Lipo360 and BBL. Do I need a mini TT? (Photo)

Dear Leilapour,

it depends on your skin laxity for which I would need to examine you. In general, liposuction does not help with skin laxity and a tummy tuck is the best option in this scenario. A mini tummy tuck can work great for laxity below the umbilicus but generally does not improve the area above the belly button.

Hello
From the beginning, it was clear that the excess skin would not tighten. Therefore, after Vaserlipo, the excess skin on the lower abdomen should have been removed. Now, after performing Vaser on the lower abdomen and mobilizing the skin, the excess skin can be excised. A mini tummy tuck is not necessary.

your photograph shows a pretty severe case of what can happen when you perform liposuction on somebody that has a moderate amount of skin lack city. Fortunately, it’s localized in a part of your abdomen where it would be easy to correct with a mini. Based on your picture, I don’t really appreciate any significant lack of your upper abdomen or muscle separation so yes, a mini tummy tuck should correct the problem.
