I'm a 55 year old who had previous liposuction on my knees and thighs. I am thrilled with the new shape but my skin hasn't recovered well. What type of lift or procedure is the best for this area of looseness? The looseness is allover the thighs but mostly above the knees. I'm not looking for small improvement, if I do another surgery, I'm looking for a tight result.
Answer: Direct excision vs. skin tightening We had few patients with similar problem in the past; two of them had direct skin excision with a scar placed in the crease above the knee. It is visible scar and that is a major drawback. Thigh lift will not eradicate this problem. Other option is to use skin thightening devices based on "J plasma" or rediofrequency? Hope this helps.

Answer: Thigh lift Thank you for your inquiry! By your photos, you would be a great candidate for a thigh lift removing extra skin laxity. We would love to meet with you in person or virtually for a consultation. I recommend scheduling with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon like myself to help you reach your goals and create a surgical plan for you!

Answer: Morpheus8 can help tighten loose skin around the knees. Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Answer: Thigh Tightening Post-Liposuction Thank you for your details and images. After liposuction, skin may not always tighten as desired, especially in the thigh area.

Answer: BodyTite BodyTite is an ideal option for those who wish to reduce fat while avoiding loose or wrinkled skin, as well as for those who wish to enhance skin laxity after weight loss or aging. This minimally invasive procedure offers a non-surgical solution that contours, firms, and elevates the skin without incisions or visible scars. Following the procedure, patients can enjoy results that are comparable to those achieved through surgery, but without the need for extended downtime.
