Would BodyTite post liposuction w/ Argon laser get rid of what's left? (Photos)

Question

I had what would I classify as a successful procedure of liposuction to the abdomen with argon laser a year ago. I have some residual skin loseness and a little fat left. I was wondering if Bodytite would be a viable option to help get rid of what's left and what percentage of retraction I can expect.

Thank you for your question! Based on what you’ve shared, you sound like a great candidate for BodyTite even after receiving a successful liposuction to the abdomen with argon laser. Since BodyTite is a minimally invasive liposuction procedure that helps target stubborn fat while also tightening the skin simultaneously. Compared to traditional liposuction, like you mentioned, it typically requires significantly less downtime.

During the treatment, a small cannula is placed underneath the skin to deliver controlled RF heat to the area. This helps target and remove fat while also stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, which can help firm and tighten the skin over time. The unwanted fat is removed during the same treatment, while the skin continues to improve as new collagen is produced.

For additional skin tightening, I would also recommend pairing BodyTite with Morpheus8 treatments. This can help stimulate even more collagen, target additional fat with the RF energy from M8, and further tighten the skin to enhance your overall results!

I hope this gives you a better idea of what to expect! Wishing you the best with your treatment!

You do not appear to have much loose skin.  You do have some lumpy/uneven results that are very common with laser liposuction because of the amount of scar tissue that the laser heating causes.  This is usually very hard to touch up due to the scar tissue.   I would recommend Morpheus Body treatments as a first choice.  We typically do 4 treatments about 1  month apart to tighten your skin. This may help with the lumpy appearance

It's likely you'll have some improvement with BodyTite which can remove more fat and help tighten skin.  You may want to consider adding Morpheus8 as well to improve overall skin tone and texture.  I've included a video I hope you find helpful.
