Can ThermiTight address a banana roll? (Photo)

Question

I had a medial thighlift performed last year. Unfortunately, my incision on the left side wasn't placed in the correct anatomical position: the gluteal crease. Therefore, I developed an unnatural fold and some redundancy near the incision site. I don't want to undergo another surgery, and I was wondering if Thermitight may be able to melt some of the fat/tighten the skin in that area.

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.
