35 y/o, 134lb, powerlifter/athlete. Mother of 2 (14 y/o, 11 y/o). 1st kid, natural; 2nd kid, Csection. I do Not like the appearance of my lower stomach skin. I feel that BodyTite would be a good choice just to “Tighten/Smooth” my lower stomach skin. I do NOT want a tummy tuck! Not trying to change my entire stomach appearance, just tighten/smooth my lower stomach above my C-section scar. BTW this lighting really shows the imperfections, my skin does not look this in most lighting. Would BT work?

Answer: Is BodyTite the answer to help smooth and tighten this lower abdomen Hi Courtswonderland, Thanks for the photos! You definitely look like a great candidate for BodyTite. Your photos show some mild fat deposition and mild skin laxity in the lower abdomen, but for having 2 children, you look great overall. BodyTite should remove some of the residual fat but also tighten up your skin. You can also get some instant tightening by contraction of the fibroseptal network bands although this can vary by patient. Just remember that skin tightening by making new collagen can take up to 6-9 months for some patients, so plan accordingly if you are thinking of looking better for vacations, etc. Work with a physician who is experienced in using BodyTite and can show you photos of results on actual patients they have treated. Best wishes, Mary Beth Mudd

Answer: Improving lower abdominal skin after babies Even though you look great, especially considering you’ve had two children, there is some protrusion of the abdominal muscles. The abdominal muscle protrusion is most likely caused by the weakness of the abdominal wall muscles, as well as the possibility of some visceral fat presence. I would first try to lose anywhere between 5 and 10 pounds and see if your belly gets flatter, and if not, I would consider having what we call a Brazilian thong tummy tuck, which involves having an incision made as short as your C-section score, during which the muscles are actually tightened, and a small amount of skin is removed without touching the bellybutton. The result of this procedure will get rid of this overhang from the C-section scar. In this procedure our patients do not have any postoperative pain and do not require any kind of drains. You can visit our Instagram and see how our patients are doing after such procedures, I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery . P. S. Body tite will do absolutely nothing for you.
