Treatment for saggy stomach and thighs post weight loss - BodyTite? (photo)

Your abdomen has too much loose skin for anything other than a tummy tuck. You may be able to try Bodytite for your thighs, but it’s hard to tell if it will help from your photos. Renuvion is another option as well.

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.

That said, BodyTite could be a good option for your thighs, where you’re more likely to see noticeable improvement. It’s important to understand that while BodyTite is a powerful technology for skin tightening and fat reduction, it’s not always the right solution for severely loose skin. In cases where the skin has lost too much elasticity, other procedures may be more appropriate.

Hi Kameela,
After significant weight loss, it’s common to experience loose skin around areas like the stomach and thighs. If you're looking to avoid surgery, there are several non-invasive treatments that could help tighten the skin without the risk of scarring.
One option is BodyTite, which uses radiofrequency energy to target and tighten the skin while also reducing fat. It’s often recommended for people with mild to moderate skin laxity and can help improve skin appearance over time.
Additionally, treatments like Morpheus8 or TempSure ENVI™ focus on skin tightening through different technologies, and they can be effective for addressing concerns like sagging skin post-weight loss.
Since you mentioned that you’re prone to keloid scarring, it’s best to consult with a specialist who can assess your skin and recommend the safest approach for you. Non-invasive procedures generally carry a lower risk of scarring compared to surgery.
Best of luck on your journey, and I hope you find the right treatment for your needs!

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.

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.

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.
