Will skin tightening such as J-Plasma, BodyTite and/or Morpheus8 help after thigh liposuction? (Photos)

Question

Hello, I had vaser liposuction done for my thighs as I had excess fat in the outer thighs, saddlebags, and banana rolls. Surgeon didn’t perform any skin tightening procedures. The results were better 1mo post op and when I was wearing compression. Skin folds and rolls appeared after, like my skin isn’t adapted to the new contours. My surgeon only recommended exercising. I am 9mo now no improvement. I’m not satisfied with the results. Will skin tightening such as j-plasma, bodytite + morpheus help?

BodyTite utilizes radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) technology, which not onlyremoves excess fat but also tightens the skin. This is a significant advancementcompared to traditional liposuction, as it addresses both fat reduction and skintightening in one procedure. Ideal candidates for BodyTite are individuals with localized areas of excess fat and mild to moderate skin laxity. During a consultation, we assess factors such as skin elasticity todetermine if BodyTite is the right solution for the patient's unique needs. Ideally we would want there to be remaining fat in the area to make this procedure beneficial with a history of liposuction previously performed in this area.

Based on your photos, I would recommend Macroneedling (or collagen induction therapy), which is very effective in tightening the skin.

You can see the results in the picture on the link provided. Best of luck!

Unfortunately, when your skin was loose, too much fat was removed from the Banana fold area. Depending on the weight of your hips, folds have formed in the banana fold area with reduced fat. Unfortunately, it is not possible to correct this situation with sports and methods such as Renuvion J Plasma, Bodytite or Morpheus. Giving fat to the folded area also does not solve it. This problem is solved by an operation such as a lateral thigh lift, in which the hip is removed from the waist and the hip is raised, or an operation such as hip prosthesis that increases the projection of the hip.
