Due to some logistics, i can't do gyno and BodyTite/J-plasma at the same time. Since I am doing a tummy tuck at the same time with gyno, I want to minimize downtime. Can I do RF treatment to chest one week after gyno to help retract the skin more? If not, how long to wait and would that wait time affect the final result had I done the gyno and RF/j plasma at the same time? PS. my gyno will involve some niple left as it is big!
Answer: Gynecomastia Surgery Planning Thank you for your question! In many patients who get liposuction to any area of the body, I recommend RF treatment with ThermiSmooth to the surface of the skin 3 months post op. Patients may need RF treatment yearly or biannually depending on their unique aging process of the skin. You are making an investment in your chest's appearance; think of it like you a making and investment in a new car. You need to change the oil! You also need to address your chest after your procedure, and non invasive treatments can be your best bet. Good luck!

Answer: How soon can you do skin RF tightening after gynecomastia? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Either have the RF done at the same time or wait until you are completely healed before entertaining a second treatment. This could be upwards of 6 months after surgery. Hope this helps.

Answer: RF at same time as Gynecomastia surgery If you are having a liposuction procedure to address your gynecomastia concerns I would strongly suggest you do the BodyTite RFAL at the same time. Not only will RFAL help with skin tightening but it will help in the removal of the very fibrous tissue that exists in the male chest. In other words, the liposuction procedure will be more successful. If you are having an open procedure done, and your gynecomastia is being removed surgically by excision technique rather than liposuction, I wouldn’t worry about doing BodyTite until you are fully healed from that procedure, meaning several months later. I hope this was helpful!Thomas Taylor, MD, FACSPasadena, CA

Answer: How soon can you do skin RF tightening after gynecomastia? Great questions! Since you're combining gynecomastia surgery with a tummy tuck, minimizing downtime is key. However, you’ll need to allow proper healing before starting RF skin tightening treatments like BodyTite or J-Plasma.
