Hello all! I'm scheduled for a BBL & Lipo 360 in May and because I had a child my stomach has some excess skin. I'm concerned about what skin I'll be left with after my surgery. Is it recommended to do a non invasive skin tightening treatment months prior to surgery? Or is there something else I can do? Or will the surgery take care of the skin? Thank you!
Answer: Tummy tuck Candidate Thanks for the question.

Answer: Worried about skin being leftover after BBL & Lipo 360 This skin will be made worse with lipo. BodyTite can help a bit but you are not the best candidate. Realistically, you will need some procedure to remove skin to get a better result. As always, be sure to research who performs your surgery to ensure the best likelihood of a positive result.

Answer: Skin Condition after Lipo - Will it be tight? You have asked a very important question and it is necessary to consider before your surgery. Many patients think they will be satisfied with just lipo but there is absolutely no guarantee the skin will retract and be tight. In cases like yours, I recommend doing a tummy tuck in order to remove the extra skin or you could be left with sagging skin that cannot be fixed with skin tightening treatments.

Answer: Worried about skin being leftover after BBL & Lipo 360 (Photo) A TT addresses both the loose skin and the lax abdominal wall as to give a nice, flat youthful contour to the abdomen. The TT also creates a more youthful belly button. TT without muscle repair may make the recovery easier, but, if you have laxity in that area, the result will be better with plication. In general, the muscles should be brought to anatomic norms. The smaller the separation, the less tightening required and the less discomfort. Swelling will occur irrespective of muscle repair, and almost every patient requiring a TT will benefit from the muscle repair.
