Question

I am 35, have never smoked. Would bodytite+lipo help improve this fat/skin laxicity problem I have in my abdomen ? Or should I go with other alternatives? It does not bother me at all when I am standing, but it bothers me a lot when sitting, crouching or bending. Thank you a lot!

Sometimes you just can't go wrong with the right set of treatments.  Lipo/morpheus/bodytite or quantum is perfect for the abdomen and flanks and is so easy to undergo under local with iv sedation. You are back to work in 2 days and back to the gym in 1 week.

Yes! Bodytite would be a great treatment to help remove stubborn fat in the abdomen and tighten the skin. Bodytite uses a canula to melt away fat, along with stimulating collagen to help tighten the skin. I would recommend additional skin tightening treatments such as Morpheus8 which uses radio frequency and microneedling to further address the skin laxity to create an even more smooth and firm result.

Hi! Dr. Peterson here &mdash;
BodyTite with liposuction can help improve abdominal contour by removing fat and tightening the overlying tissue with radiofrequency. J-Plasma (also called Renuvion) is another energy-based option sometimes combined with lipo for skin contraction. These treatments can be very effective for the right candidate, but they don’t replace the kind of tightening you’d get from surgery if there is significant excess or redundant skin.
It’s also important to understand realistic expectations. Everyone has some skin folding or bunching in the abdomen when sitting, bending, or crouching. Procedures like BodyTite, J-Plasma, or liposuction can reduce fat and improve skin tone, but they won’t completely erase natural skin folds.
These procedures work best when combined with a healthy lifestyle &mdash; maintaining a stable weight, regular cardio, and good nutrition. The results are more refined and longer lasting in patients who already have a foundation of fitness and stable body composition.
A consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or dermatologic surgeon will help you determine whether your skin quality and degree of laxity are best suited for energy-based tightening, liposuction alone, or a more surgical option.

BodyTite combined with liposuction can be very effective for the type of abdominal concerns you’re describing. Liposuction alone removes excess fat but doesn’t tighten skin. BodyTite adds radiofrequency energy to contract tissue and improve skin laxity at the same time, which can help with the “folding” you notice when sitting or bending.
That said, the right approach depends on your exam. If your skin has good elasticity, liposuction alone may give a smooth result. If there’s looseness in the skin (common after weight changes or with age), pairing it with BodyTite typically yields a firmer contour. For patients with significant laxity or stretched abdominal wall, a surgical tummy tuck is sometimes the better solution.
In summary: BodyTite + lipo is designed exactly for patients like you who have moderate fat and mild to moderate skin laxity in the abdomen. A consultation with an experienced provider will clarify whether you’re an ideal candidate or whether a different procedure would give you a longer-lasting, smoother result.

Unfortunately bodytite does not tighten the skin regardless of what the company claims. In order to have any significant shrinkage of skin, you have to literally cook it or burn it. In your case, nothing beats an in person consultation with a Plastic Surgeon. No matter how good the photographs are, they don’t provide all the necessary information. But from the appearance of the photographs, it looks like you would benefit from 360 Lipo and tissue tightening by means of Renuvion. Once again, nothing beats an in person consultation. I hope the cells are good luck from Leonard Grossman and D, organic Plastic Surgery, New York City.
