Based on my photos, could BodyTite or other lipo give me results similar to the last photo?

Question

Female 58 5'8 155lbs complete hysterectomy 24 yrs ago and no replacement hormones. The last pic is me simply pulling up on thighs with my fingers. I dont want the long scars and live alone and wouldnt have recovery help so afraid of a thigh lift. Looking for recommendations on what procedure could provide an acceptable result. I have strong legs with good muscle tone underneath.

Unfortunately a thigh lift is the only option that would allow your legs to look like they do when you pull the excess skin up like in the photo.

Hi. looking at the photos you provided the best treatment course of action to get you to your desired results would absolutely be a leg lift. However, if this is not the route you are looking to go, there are other options. BodyTite is going to go in and remove excess/ unwanted fat from the treatment area however, it will not necessarily lift and tone the legs in the manner you are looking to achieve. What I would recommend is a series of Morpheus8 (paired with BodyTite if you are looking for fat reduction as well). Morpheus8 is Radiofrequency microneedling. This treatment is going to tighten the skin while burning small amounts of fat, helping to contour and sculpt the legs. I recommend coming in for a complimentary consultation so we can better assess the area. Give us a call to set this up for you at any of our 10 locations across Massachusetts.

You would do great with lipo under local and the addition of bodytite/quantum/morpheus at the same time to tighten up the skin nicely.

A great question and thank you for sharing!

Based on the pictures you've provided, I would first suggest Morpheus8 and Neogen for the area of concern. Morpheus8 and Neogen are both advances skin treatment technologies that can effectively address skin laxity and fat reduction.

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy which stimulates collagen production to tighten the skin. Microneedling creates micro-injuries, further promoting healing and rejuvenation. Deep penetration promotes improving texture and firmness.

Neogen uses plasma energy to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production while improving tone and texture. This is effective for treating surface level skin concerns such as wrinkles, making it a great option for better results when combined with Morpheus8.

Overall, Morpheus and Neogen can provide a synergistic effect, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin on your legs.

BodyTite is designed to improve skin tone for those with mild to moderate skin laxity.  Though you should have some improvement from treatment, the "wish pic" is not realistic due to the degree of current skin laxity.  A thigh lift would be needed for a more dramatic result.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Unfortunately, the hereditary condition of cellulite that you have will not be helped with body type or any other radio frequency, tissue tightening devices. In fact, they may make it worse. Even a thigh lift, which may temporarily help the condition will eventually settle down and reappear once again. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City.
