Can you get good results using Thermitight on the bottom of buttocks to tighten it and get a slight lift?

Hi Dks622,Thank you for your question. It certainly is possible to get a good result with thermitight in just about any area with the thermitight. I would recommend getting an in person consultation to see what your best options are as you may require cellfina and thermitight with possible fat grafting to get the best possible outcome. Good luck.All the bestCarlos Mata MD, MBA, FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Thank you for your question.  I recommend a combination of procedures for optimal results.

ThermiTight utilizes a small electrode inserted under the skin to heat tissue to a selected therapeutic temperature.  Literature has shown that elevating skin to a therapeutic temperature level can contract collagen molecules and stimulate collagen production, which may give the appearance of lifting or tightening.   Fat reduction is rare, unless set to high temperatures and kept at high temperatures for a significant amount of time .

To best answer your question,  it  depends on how much skin laxity you have.   ThermiTight can work well in the thigh area to tighten skin that is mild to moderately laxity.  Surgery may be a better option, if you have excessive laxity.   Results with ThermiTight vary from patient to patient.  You should experience some overall improvement.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

ThermiTight and
Thermi250 can be used to tighten and lift the skin almost anywhere on
the body. I have used it on the buttocks with good results, sometimes
combined with filler like Sculptra for extra volume and lift.

Thermi
uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat and contract your skin. The
heat generated also stimulates the skin to produce more collagen and
elastin – two components of skin that give it elasticity and
strength. Another modality, Ulthera, uses ultrasound energy to heat
and tighten the skin.

In
addition, if you have cellulite you might also need treatment with
Cellfina, an excellent treatment with long term results. Please
consult a board-certified dermatologist experienced with many devices
to find out if you are a candidate for skin tightening, volume,
Cellfina or a combination treatment.

For the best lift, I recommend a combination using ThermiRF. I use VASER liposuction with ThermiRF, ultrasound and fat grafting in order to get the most fat removal, skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a body contouring expert. Sometimes adding sculptra helps as well in combination with above.  Best, Dr. Emer

ThermiTight is certainly the best nonsurgical treatment to tighten the buttocks and virtually anywhere you have skin. The tightening effect is limited, however. In cases where there is lots of loose skin, the skin will also be tightened, but possibly not as much as you might want. You should consult a PS who does this procedure frequently to get a professional opinion to see if the ThermiTight would meet your goals.The ThermiTight tightens skin in the neck, arms, legs reducing cellulite, and even elevates saggy breasts, and in the form of The ThermiVA, tightens the vaginal and surrounding areas. Thank you for your question and best wishes for the holidays.

In my experience Thermitight on the outer portion of the buttocks does a good job of tightening the skin and smoothing the depressions and contours. The amount of lift does not seem great and I would recommend that you be evaluated, see photographs of similar patients’ results to help you have realistic expectations.
