Lost huge weight, have lose skin but don't want to do a tummy tuck. Which of these technology would give me best result? Can both be combined in the same session? Can they be done after reach other? If so how long should I wait in between? Just want to get maximal improvements without the scar and downtime of a tummy tuck!

Answer: BodyTite vs. J-plasma Liposuction alone is not the solution to saggy skin. To a certain extent further volume reduction will serve to further exacerbate the problem. Typically, excisional procedures represent the starting point for bariatric patients. Most will start with their core and work outwards over a series of procedures (depending upon patient preference). Liposuction plays a role as an adjunct.With regards to your specific question, RF skin tightening (BodyTite etc.) is a more controlled (and thus safe) modality for inducing skin tightening through heat. That being said, the skin laxity which is commonly seen in the MWL population often represents too great a challenge for minimally invasive skin tightening tech. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Answer: BodyTite is so much better than J Plasma and safer as well. BodyTite is the Best! J plasma has recently changed its name because of all the complications and problems it has had over the yrs. BodyTite is a controlled radiofrequency which has controlled heating of the skin and subcutaneous tissue for precise results. J plasma which is now called something like renuvion is like placing an uncontrolled blow torch under the skin. It's scary and too risky.
