Is Bodytite an option or would I need a thigh lift? (Photo)

Question

I am 39 years old, 5’3” and 150 lbs. I lost 120 pounds 15 years ago. I have had 3 children since then. I have always wanted my thighs to be firmer and not as saggy. Is bodytite an option or would this level of sagging need a thigh lift? If so, is there any option other than the lateral incision down my inner thigh?

BodyTite would be best fit for your concerns. BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small canula with radio frequency to melt the fat and tighten the skin. We then use liposuction to remove all the liquefied fat. We do recommend an additional skin tightening treatment such as Morpheus8 following the procedure to further tighten the skin.

Hello; your inner leg skin, is extremely loose. The fold has even started to form. Actually, Renuvion J Plasma or Bodytite are not an options for you. You need for a thigh lift. For stretching that is performed; through a horizontal incision in the groin; only the upper thighs are affected. It has no affects on the lower parts. However, since your skin laxity continues up until to the knee; a vertical incision; also needs to be done.

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss!  Based on the photos and your descriptions you aren't a good candidate for BodyTite.  Due to the degree of skin laxity the best recommendation would be a thigh lift.  This would remove excess fat and skin and sculpt your legs.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

When a person loses massive amounts of weight, no radio frequency device will help them in tightening the skin. Your only outcome is an inner thigh lift. I recommendation to you is to still continue to lose as much weight as possible to have the best outcome of the surgical procedure. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.

Both are good choices. According to the photo assessment, I believe a thigh lift is the best option for you. Now, if the scar concerns you, Bodytite can only aid with skin retraction by 40%.
