Am I a good candidate for BodyTite? (Photos)

Question

I would like to get a second opinion. I was told that I can most definitely get the procedure done, but I will be left with deflated with loose skin. I have faint stretch marks on my stomach and flanks from having 4 kids, all C-sections. But underneath I have good muscle tone from exercise. If I flex, you can somewhat see my abdominals on my upper half and I can feel how hard they are through the fat/skin on my lower. I’m not sure if that would contribute to how I recover or not. Opinions?

Thank you for your question! Yes, you would be a great candidate for the bodytite. Bodytite is a noninvasive tummy tuck, that removes stubborn fat and helps tighten the skin. There is minimum downtime associated with this treatment compared to the traditional liposuction. We use a cannula under the skin that heats up to a certain degree that melts the fat while stimulating your own collagen cells. All your fat will be gone this day and over time your skin will tighten. I would recommend additional skin tightening treatments such as Morpheus for additional tightening of your abdomen. I hope this helps, good luck with your treatment!

Thank you for your question and the photos you provided. While RealSelf does not serve as second opinion, I think it is a great tool to help consider all your options. Seeing as you had 4 c-sections, and your already have a scar to the lower abdomen,  I would have you consider a mini tuck to help prevent get rid of loose skin and enhance your contour. Once the skin is removed, you can use BodyTite and Morpheus 8 Microneedling to help the remaining skin on your abdomen/back. Good luck! Remember to discuss with a board certified plastic surgeon.

If your goal is to have a flat abdomen then I suggest a tummy tuck. BodyTite will tighten you skin thereby making it flat but it will not be as flat as you are demonstrating in one of your photos. Consult a Cosmetic surgeon that is experienced in both BodyTite and Tummy Tuck. Have a complete examination and consider his/her recommendations.
