Planned Airsculpt. Do I do BodyTite too? (photos)

Question

I'm almost 46, very active. In my 40s a few lbs started settling at hips/thighs despite intense exercise and clean diet. Thighs were bulky to begin with. In the spring, I'm doing airsculpt for waist/hip/thigh contouring, with a hip dip fill. However I have some skin laxity on thighs (not why I'm doing this). Will I need bodytite too? The airsculpt doc doesn't have so I'd need to do separately. Worth it? Other modalities to consider? I have metal in my body so certain things are out. Thanks!

Hi, from the pictures, I don't really see the skin laxity that would necessitate an internal skin tightening treatment such as Bodytite. If the doctor performing your Lipo is skilled at body sculpting, you should get a good result. Bodytite is an invasive procedure so it would not make sense to do it as a separate treatment from your liposuction, it should be done at the same time if you are going to do it. The hardware in your body could be problematic since RF devices such as the Bodytite could heat up the metal. Bodytite is bipolar so it should be ok if the metal is far away from the treatment area. You might also consider superficial bipolar tightening which can be done as a separate treatment after the Lipo. The newer RF micro needling devices such as Morpheus body or SylfirmX are great options.
