I have some loose skin on my back, I've had lipo there in the past, so I know it is skin not fat. Which non-invasive tightening procedure would be best for bra roll/back area? J plasma vs bodytite vs ultherapy?
Answer: Morpheus8 is great for skin tightening 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. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Skin tightening post weight loss Hello, and thank you for your question. Non-surgical options can help but in this instance (post previous liposuction) it would be worth an assessment by an appropriately-qualified plastic surgeon so as to determine the best path forth. Non-surgical options can be useful but in the setting of excessive skin redundancy a surgical approach might be more appropriate. Regards, Dr Matthew Peters

Answer: Skin tightening on the back? Englewood Cliffs New Jersey In my opinion, several devices would be helpful. Less invasive devices include Profound, Ulthera, Morpheus and J plasma. Bodytite is successful but more invasive. As with any other procedure, is the physician operating the device that is more important than the device itself.Jeff Rapaport MD FAADRealself Verified All-star

Answer: Loose skin Dear hbunny13, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Non-invasive procedures can provide skin tightening in case of smaller amount of loose skin. However, if you have a lot of loose skin, then a surgery might be the only option.If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
