Would ThermiTight be sufficient to tighten the loose skin above the navel? (Photos)

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

The indent above your navel is likely rectus diastasis where your muscles have been separated. You can improve rectus diastasis somewhat with working on your core in a strategic manner if you are against abdominoplasty. You can often fine pilates instructors or physical therapists that are skilled with this type of core work. As for your skin, it is very unlikely you will have a satisfactory result from any of the non-invasive treatment. These non-invasive treatments can at best give you about 20% tightening (which is not permanent). This is unlikely to improve the appearance of your abdomen enough to make it worth the money in my opinion. Abdominoplasty really is an amazing procedure and would correct both of the things that bother you in the best way. It is a procedure with a scar and downtime, but the trade is awesome! I would really recommend giving it a second look! Good luck.
