You could potentially try Renuvion. Renuvion in combination with Morpheus 8 are my favorite tools to use for skin tightening. The Morpheus 8 is exceptional at improving the overall skin quality externally. Your other option would be skin removal. But, that would obviously involve a scar and for someone who is against having a scar, this would not be your first choice
BodyTite and Morpheus 8 would be your best options for skin tightening on the breast. But how effective it is really depends on the degree of breast ptosis (sagging) that you have. If your nipples are sitting at the lowest aspect of your breast and/or pointing to the floor, your best option is a breast lift.
Thighs are one of the most difficult areas to liposuction well. You want to take just enough fat so that you do not create loose skin. For most patients, especially those that are thinner, the best area to harvest fat from on the thighs is the inner thigh. You run a higher chance of contour deformities and producing cellulite divots when you liposuction the front, outer, or back of the thigh, and you want to make sure that your surgeon always uses a skin tightening device (Renuvion or BodyTite) after thigh liposuction to decrease the amount of skin laxity you will develop.
As soon as you are comfortable having intercorse. Many patients might wait a few weeks depending on how sore they are from surgery.
Your options largely depend on your goals. If you want the arms to be as tight and toned as possible, and arm lift would be the best option as it is the most effective way to remove the excess skin. If you do not want the scar, then trying a combination of liposuction with Renuvion could provide adequate results. But, you will still likely have some loose skin, but improved.
