What is the best 5 year lipo post-op procedure to tighten loose skin on legs and thighs?

Question

I eat well and work-out at least 3 times a week. I had liposuction on my thighs and a buttocks reduction about 5 years ago. I have no complaints in regard to the surgery or the surgeon,but I am frustrated that in all my efforts I still have a giggle in my inner thighs and a little droop in my butt. I would like to try one of the radiofrequency treatments to tighten these areas. A professionals opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Susan S.

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

With non-surgical treatments, skin tightening can be done with a combination of vanquish, venus legacy, exilis, celllutone/Zwave.  For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like a VASER liposuction, which can be performed at the same time as a thigh lift, if you're a candidate. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result.  I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer
