Venus Legacy on abdomen instead of tummy tuck.

Hey all! I’m 39 years old, mom to 3 kids (ages 15,8,6) and sick of the way my tummy looks after having them. I’m currently 5’ 3.5” and 125 pounds. Before my first pregnancy I was 98 pounds for years. Gained 60 pounds with the first one, lost about 40 of it. Then gained 35 with each subsequent pregnancy. I was around 155 when I decided I needed a more permanent change. I started eating healthy and working out and now I bounce around between 123-128. My skin on my stomach, particularly around my belly button embarrasses me. I won’t wear a bikini even though I know I’m relatively fit. I stand in the mirror at least once a day and lift the skin on my tummy to remember what it looked like not wrinkled.
I visited with two surgeons for a tummy tuck consult and in the end my anxiety about having such a huge procedure kicked in. I decided to try skin tightening instead. Enter Light RX. I swore I would document my results (or lack thereof) since I couldn’t find anything here on RS or the internet. I am 10 treatments into a 16 treatment plan. I can’t see much of a difference but my husband says he can. I am working out, eating well and drinking a lot of water which is what I think I am seeing results from. I’ll add the photos I have so far.

Update to add photos
DesignMomCDecember 3, 2017
Adding photos of week 1, 3, 5 and 10. I will continue to update weekly from here. Light RX is telling me if I get SculpSure on my abdomen coupled with another Legacy on my flanks to pull the skin to the sides too that will help with the creasing in my belly button. The reviews I have been able to find on SculpSure have me worried to try it.

So do you like your results ?

Hi Kat, I’m not sure yet. I’m only on treatment 11 out of 16 and you are supposed to see results for 4 weeks after last treatment.

It really upsets me that Drs. push this bogus treatment. I work at a med spa that offers this treatment. And I can tell you, I’ve seen zero results. At first, we were booked solid. But after clients started not noticing any improvement after spending a few thousand dollars, the books are empty now for this treatment. If it was 50 bucks I’d say go for it. But for your hard earned money I would say don’t do it.! I would put that money away and say for something that really works like a tummy tuck.

I so wish I had posted something here prior to spending the money. I’m nearing my last treatment (I paid for 16 and have 2 left) and I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve seen ANY results. It is meant to ‘tighten skin’ and nothing is tighter. I’m pretty disappointed with the girls in the office as well. I’ve gotten rather friendly with them and when I share my concerns they all say they’ve seen great results and mine will come. I’ve had 14 treatments so I’m not sure when they are supposed to ‘come’ at this point. of course they try to sell me more too....

Just adding my take and looking at your stomach, I really don't see an improvement and that is not meant to be derogatory about anything for the purposes of just being negative. I used there system and lost 2 inches around my waste but am still around 34" waste and as a man, I didn't see it as a great result and not nearly what I paid for it. I would have been better off to have paid for a tummy tuck instead of giving them my hard earned money. Besides that they are treating me very badly right now, don't want me to come back and want to keep my money. I don't have much nice to say about them.

Update!

I finished my treatments and when we took my after photos (4 weeks after my last treatment) my stomach looked WORSE than when we started. I have been working out 5-6 times a week, eating a very specific way to obtain certain physique goals and drinking tons of water. The more fat I cut the more wrinkles my stomach has. Light RX was upset with my results and offered me a free SculpSure treatment to treat the fat around my belly button and another 8 Legacy Treatments with a different wand (with no suction and more heat) to try to get results. I honestly still don’t see much of a difference. I will update with my final photos when my last treatments are done. So far I think I wasted A LOT of money.

Did you pay for Legacy or SculpSure? So far I don’t think either have done a darn thing for me!

I had a full tummy tuck with liposuction almost eight years ago. I had touch up lipo on July 19th. I honestly feel that that you would have been much happier with a full tummy tuck (not mini, looking at your pics). Yes, there will be a longer scar than the mini, but the mini only addresses issues below the belly button. You have to decide what you would rather have, a tighter, flatter stomach with a scar that can be hidden and that will look better as the years pass (mine looks pretty good now, I can DM you a pic if you want), or go other routes with less than optimal results.
