Skin extremely loose 1 year after Bodytite. What to do next? (Photos)

Question

I had bodytite on my stomach 1 year ago, only 300 ml of fat was removed as I was very close to my ideal weight then. I did recently put on about a stone but lost it very quickly, however it sems my skin is looser than before. I also had bodytite on my inner thighs (6 months ago) and the skin around the area is extremely crepey and loose. I am desperate to find a solution! Could it be that Bodytite was not the right procedure for me? And if so, would Renuvion help?

From the submitted photos it appears you would be a candidate for a tummy tuck.  This would surgically remove the excess skin as well as correct abdominal wall laxity.  The result would be a flatter, tighter tummy.  For the thighs, you could consider a thigh lift.  I'm not sure it would be worth the scar in your case for the amount of skin laxity that you have.

Body tite in reality does not tighten the skin whatsoever., But it does destroy the subcutaneous fat by melting it. Renuvion also does not tighten the skin, but it tightens the attachment bands between the skin and muscle tissue, pulling in the skin like as if it was hit wrapped. In general, neither procedure is extremely effective in a very thin individual. Renew and may provide you with approximately 30 to 50% of improvement from your current state but again no guarantees can be made. If you’re truly unhappy with the amount of loose skin, you may need to have either a thigh lift and possibly a tummy tuck or a reverse tummy tuck. I hope this helps and good luck from Leonard Grossman, MD, organic Plastic Surgery, New York City.
