Would you advise getting BodyTite on my abdomen if I wanted to get pregnant in a year?

Question

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Having the procedure performed now would have no impact upon your becoming pregnant or how your body would change as the result of pregnancy.  If you would be happier with the way your abdomen would look between now and becoming pregnant,  schedule an in-office appointment with a board certified PS who is skilled in using this technology.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. Having a BodyTite procedure on your abdomen will not impact your pregnancy in the future. Please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

Richard E. Moore, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Let me begin by saying a number of changes occur in a woman's body with pregnancy including an increase in the number of fat cells, skin laxity due to stretch marks, and muscle laxity due to stretching. Thus, many of the benefits of the BodyTite may be lost following pregnancy. The biggest benefit for doing this in advance is the potential for increased collagen production which may help mitigate some of the skin changes that occur with pregnancy.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
