Am I a good candidate for BodyTite and back lipo? (Photo)

Question

The issue that I find that my waist is not very defined. I would like nothing more definition by getting back lightbulb as well as body type. This is really snatch me in. Am I a good candidate ?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

An in person exam is best, but from the provided photos it appears you would benefit from liposuction to help define your back and waistline.  J Plasma could be added if needed for further skin tightening.  I encourage you to begin by scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.  I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Thank you for your question. It appears that you would be a good candidate. Realize that b/c of your lack of fat in general, the amount of definition that you can achieve is going to be less than someone who has more fat to remove. Posteriorly especially the area of the lateral bra roll and flanks would definitely see more definition. It takes 3-6 months for the full effect to take place as the neocollagenesis and neoelastogenesis are happening. Standard liposuction and even Vaser or SAFElipo or SmartLipo by themselves will not yield the same results. I always combine the MorpheuBody with the BodyTite as I believe you can attack the skin from the inside out and from the outside in. Hope this helps. 
Best of Luck!

Hi! Based on the pictures, you appear to be in great shape and I'm not sure what you are looking for with regards to your back. There are techniques that are offered known as hi def lipo or hi def body contouring that uses liposuction to create muscular definition. As was mentioned in another answer, your body type may not be one in which your waist line is defined. Surgically, the waist can be defined or accentuated with liposuction to the waist with or without fat transfer to the lateral hips to give that more hourglass appearance. The ability to do this all depends on the the amount of fat that you have that is able to be removed from the waistline and/or potentially harvested from other areas and transferred. Bodytite is a skin tightening modality that is typically reserved for patients that have poor skin quality or are older where the skin is less likely to shrink following liposuction. So whether or not you are a good candidate depends on your skin quality. Ultimately, you would need to be examined in person to be able to provide you with a more definitive recommendation. Hope this helps! -drdanielkirk

You appear to be in great shape, and I am not sure if you have any fat in your back. Not everyone has a very small waistline, and that is determined by your genetic make up. In order to determine if anything can be done without ruining your body, you need to be evaluated in person by a reputable Plastic Surgeon. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
