I am a 40 year old female and I have fluctuated in weight from the age of 16, usually no more than 20 kilos but had some slight loose skin around my stomach. More recently I gained 50 kilos over 2 years and lost the weight over a year or so resulting in the loose skin around my stomach to be more noticeable and also around my thighs. What ntreatments can help for stomach and thighs? I am trying to avoid tummy tuck or thigh lift as I keloid scar and I feel the scar would be much worse than the skin. I have heard about BodyTite and not sure if it can really help or not.
Answer: BodyTite for loose skin While BodyTite is a great option for many people looking to tighten and contour their body, it may not be the best solution for treating the abdomen in your case due to the presence of extremely loose and hanging skin in both the upper and lower areas. BodyTite works well for mild to moderate skin laxity, but it may not deliver the desired results when the skin is significantly stretched or damaged.

Answer: Skin laxity Congratulations on your weight loss! From the photos it appears the best choice would be a standard tummy tuck. This would address the excess fat and skin as well as correct abdominal wall laxity. BodyTite would likely give you minimal improvement for the abdomen. You could consider it for the thighs and perhaps combine it with Morpheus8. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you for more details.

Answer: Lipo with Bodytite/Quantum/Morpheus to the Rescue! If you don't do a tummy tuck, then lipo with bodytite/quantum/morpheus is your best option and would definitely be worth it. Be sure to get it done under local with a little iv sedation for complete comfort and then the doc can stand you up occasionally to fine tune the results nicely.

Answer: Tummy tuck and possible skin tightening to thighs In my opinion, you are unlikely to be satisfied with anything short of a tummy tuck. Based on what you’ve shared, I believe skin tightening devices such as BodyTite, Renuvion, or Morpheus would not deliver results that justify the investment for your abdomen. That said, your thighs may benefit from BodyTite or Renuvion, though an in-person evaluation would be necessary to assess your skin quality and determine the best approach. Your concern about keloiding is reasonable, but I would recommend speaking to a plastic surgeon about your keloid history to get a better idea of your individual risk.
