They’re really totally different options. Thermage can help if there’s a minimal amount of tightening expected, such as lower lids maybe. Sometimes the pre and postop photos on some of the new technologies out there are really difficult to reproduce. If you’ve seen Thermage results on an abdomen, I’d be pretty hesitant to expect much. It just has been really underpowered in those areas.

If your ABPS board certified plastic surgeon has told you that you are a candidate for a tummy tuck, then you should consider that and not thermage. There are different variations in tummy tuck (such as mini tucks or float abdominoplasties) for those that have very little extra skin. Those may be more worth your while to look into with more detail.
