Waves/saggy skin on abdomen after lipo 4 years ago-- can Thermage or Exilis be possible solutions? (Photo)

semicharmFeb 28, 2017
I had lipo in Dec 2012. I followed all aftercare instructions and healed well but was left with loose skin as expected. Probably also uneven fat removal, causing uneven folding of the skin. I was 124, 119 after. Since then I've kept up a healthy lifestyle and been steady at 113. The photos are recent. Now I'd like to do something about it. Anything I can do noninvasive? Exilis/Thermage photos look promising but are probably only photos of the best results. Genuine advice is truly appreciated.

Thermage is noninvasive, while ThermiTight uses a probe that’s inserted under the skin to not only contract the tissues but also melt small amounts of fat. I would probably choose ThermiTight for your underarms because it l...

You need a formal evaluation there are many non invasive options for the thighs, however, none a great.  you can get improvement with a long term treatment plan.  you will need to be seen to determine if you are a surgical or nonsurgical candidate.  Best, Dr. Emer.
