Skin Tightening aftter Tummy Tuck

just had a Mini tummy tuck 1 month ago..now have some minimal but apparent loose skin around the belly button area...(prob.b/c I fell lost some muscle repair and really swelled from a hematoma clot...
so i was hoping to do some touch up for that area...ps not happy w/thermage that i got prior to surgery (didn't work)..thanks in advance.

hi
yeah, skin tightening is always such a problem!
the devices out there are not great.
i use thermage and i've seen ok results, but i do not think that the other devices are that much better. i would, however wait before you try anything else - let yourself heal some more from the surgery. i would not try anything until your ps tells you its ok.
it may be that a bit of a surgical nip is your best option.
there does not seem to be one clear winner in the devices out there right now.
