Am I a candidate for Renuvion/JPlasma or BodyTite to tighten my skin and help with my cellulite? Which would be better? (Photo)

Question

I have been researching skin tightening and I am curious if BodyTite or Renuvion would work for me? If so, which would be better? I'm wanting the least invasive option since I am a trainer and need the least amount of downtime. Already tried Profound & Morpheus, no major change. What about Hi Def Vaser Lipo for my saddlebags/banana roll? I am in pretty good shape otherwise and don't want to do a thigh lift or butt lift, I can't deal with those scars.

honest as a solo treatment neither j plasma nor body tite will give you alot of improvement with liposuction, thigh lifting/hidden scar buttock roll/spiral lift, fat grafting to the buttock YES you will see big change. cellfina will only help with surgery.

my whole practice is doing body lifting, or at least liposuction with internal heating (which is not the gold standard for skin tightening with body contouring). plus skin tightening and cellulite reduction.

the smaller you are before liposuction the more contouring you can get from the procedure. most of my liposuction patients get pre and post surgical optimization with hormonal therapy (see link to help boost their weight loss before surgery and help them heal after).

You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.
