Dimpling after Morpheus8 (Photo)

Question

Hello, I am 41, 5’ 5” and weigh 120 lb. I am very active with good muscle tone. I had Morpheus8 performed once on my legs several months ago. I had a small amount of cellulite prior but now have more severe dimpling that can be seen in direct sunlight. My provider is a reputable cosmetic surgeon and is now recommending bodytite and liposuction to fix the dimpling. I am wondering if the worsened skin texture and dimpling will go away with time? Seeking a second opinion. Photos included.

Hi there! Great question. My first question to you is 1. Have you changed your activity? Meaning have you incorporated something new to you like Pilates or running extra since treatment? I only ask because this could be offset in the way your muscle tone is now showing up. However, there's many factors.

I will assume that your provider told you, depending on the depth and settings, the could've used the "fat melt". While that is amazing for reducing cellulite, your provider should have let you know you should follow up with the remaining 2 sessions strictly to LIFT the skin. Now, also assuming what is bothering you is the excess skin and cellulite still showing. I'd say a mini thigh lift or look into something like Vaser liposuction to smooth the cellulite and sculpt. These tend to give more of that dramatic difference permanently and immediately. While I do love Body Tite for my own patients, it's definitely something I reserve for those who want to be more conservative in their results. We actually do Body Tite and Morpheus as a combo.

I'd first ask yourself the above question AND follow up by asking if you want a more dramatic/instant result...or if you prefer to stay conservative. These can be pricey procedures, so I highly recommend you look at many before and after's. Good luck!

There should be no dimpling associated with a correctly performed morpheus treatment.  If you are having more dimpling, i assuming in the upper thighs, i would repeat the morpheus treatment.
