Over 130 pound weight loss - Will Morpheus8 help my stomach skin? (Photos)

Question

31 years old. I lost over 130lbs and currently weigh 135. I workout regularly. In October 2024 I had 360 lipo on my abdomen and thighs and arms along with a BBL and renuvion. I was initially interested in a tummy tuck but was told I could get the tightening I wanted on my abdomen with the Renuvion. I still have loose skin 7 months out though it is much improved. My question is, will the renuvion continue to tighten my skin? If not would Morpheus8 be a good option to address what I have left? Included my before and current photos. I’m quite happy with my BBL and just want that last bit of loose skin on my abdomen fixed.

After significant weight loss and previous body contouring, it's common to still see some residual skin laxity. While Renuvion can continue to tighten the skin for several months post-procedure, most of its tightening effects are seen within the first 6 to 9 months.
If you’re now 7 months out and still noticing loose skin, Morpheus8 could be a good complementary option. It uses radiofrequency microneedling to stimulate collagen and improve skin texture and firmness, which may help refine the results on your abdomen without requiring surgery.
It's typically most effective for mild to moderate laxity, and since you've already had significant improvement, Morpheus8 may help address that final bit of looseness. Multiple sessions are often recommended for best results.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin - Winnetka & Chicago. Thank you for sharing your story and congratulations on your incredible weight loss and dedication to your health—it’s clear you’ve worked hard. Given your history of significant weight loss, body contouring with 360 liposuction, BBL, and Renuvion, it's not uncommon to still see some residual skin laxity, especially in areas like the abdomen. While Renuvion does provide notable skin tightening, it can take up to a year or more to see full results. That said, if you're still noticing loose skin at 7 months post-op and it’s causing concern, Morpheus8 could be a helpful adjunct. It combines microneedling with radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production and can further tighten the skin over time. It’s especially useful for mild to moderate laxity and is often used after surgical or minimally invasive procedures to enhance results. However, if the looseness is more significant or if you're looking for a more dramatic improvement, a surgical tummy tuck might still be worth revisiting. I hope this helps and best of luck!

I probably have the most experience with the use of Renuvion which I have been using since 2015. Renuvion will barely touch the surface of what you have. You need a tummy tuck. I hope this helps and good luck from Leonard Grossman MD,organic Plastic Surgery NYC
