Bodytite for loose butt skin? (Photo)

Question

My weight fluctuated quite a bit in my late teens/20s but has been generally consistent the past 10 years aside from a gain around COVID that I finally lost. My skin generally doesn’t show evidence of this except my behind. Am I a candidate for non-surgical skin tightening or is a lift my only option?

Hello; on the hip and subgluteal lines; there are many twists and turns. If you are not a weak and slim person; I would recommend for fat injection; however, this is not possible. With the lateral thigh lift, from the junction of the hip and waist; it is possible to reduce relevant lines; by removing the skin. Nevertheless, the volume; will not change either. If an implant is placed in the hip; when hip volume increases, wrinkles also decrease.

Just about anyone is a candidate for BodyTite if you have loose skin.   I would actually recommend BodyTite and Morpheus Body.   BodyTite helps to lift your skin.  Morpheus Body helps to shrink and tighten your skin.  The combination works very well.   Now, that being said, you do have a Lot of loose skin!  We normally do 1 BodyTite treatment and 4 Morpheus Body treatments.   I believe this will help significantly.   If you like the results, you may want to do more treatments.  But, I would never tell you that it will make your skin tight!  I will tell you that I expect it will be better.   
If you're looking for tight, I would recommend a Thigh/Buttocks lift, which is a scar above your buttocks, lifting it up and tightening your skin.   You may also benefit from a Buttocks Wedge Excision, which is a scar in the crease under your buttocks.    
The nice thing about the BodyTite and Morpheus treatment is that there are no scars.  You can always add them later if you are not happy.  
Good Luck

Skin is simply a suit that a person wears from the time of approximately 18 years of age, when they reach maximum growth. Any changes in weight will stretch the skin and eventually the skin stops responding with no return to the original shape. If you were a larger individual, I would recommend a BBL with the use of your own fat. But you’re quite thin. Bodytite will NOT help your buttocks whatsoever, in fact, 6 to 12 months after the initial treatment, your body will exhibit even more loose skin. I would not rush with the buttocks lift as of yet, but give a shot to a Sculptra BBL. Sculptra is a biostimulatory filler, which can produce absolutely wonderful and natural results in the right hands. The procedure can be done under local anesthesia with no pain whatsoever afterwards and complete return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. I hope this is helpful and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.

Hello, with few incisions, Bodytite can accomplish up to 40% skin retraction, however a buttlift will provide the best results.
