I understand I am not "fat" but I have always had my problem areas, mostly saddlebags and flank area. I had smart lipo in May of 2016 to my thighs and flanks. However, I have seen NO difference whatsoever. I thought it may be swelling but it has been more than a year. My diet is the same, and I'm working out more than before. I don't drink alcohol. I don't know if I am seeing skin laxity or fat. I would love to lose inches in these areas but don't know what treatment to utilize! Please help!
Answer: Tighten up areas for a more defined look with Morpheus8 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: Coolsculpting Fat Removal - add Vanquish, trusculpt iD, Cellutone, EVIVE, ZWave -- “Fire and Ice” Non Surgical Fat Reduction If you have small problem areas you can use non invasive methods like Coolsculpting with Vanquish or trusculpt iD to get small areas of fat reduced. Skin also tightens if you combine this with Exilis Ultra, Venus Legacy, and Inmode Forma/Contoura radiofrequency treatments. You boost the results from Coolsculpting if you add in Kybella injections to melt fat as well. We often combine Coolsculpting with shock therapy like ZWave, EVIVE, and Cellutone to get even faster results, more improvement, and less risk of combinations like nodules, swelling, neuropathy or paradoxical hyperplasia. Coolsculpting often takes a few treatments separated 8 to 12 weeks apart to get significant improvement. However, to get the most fat removal, contouring, skin tightening and definition, a VASER HI-DEF liposuction / liposculpture procedure with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite and fat grafting is your best bet. This will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a body contouring and hi-definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Body Sculpting Treatments Thank you for your question and posting your photos. It is difficult to give you a full assessment on the basis of photos alone. If skin laxity is a component of your concerns, I have found J-Plasma to be the most effective non-excisional device for tightening the skin. In areas where fat needs to be removed, it can be combined with a low traumatic form of lipo such as Tickle Lipo, Vaser Lipo or BodyJet.J Plasma uses the combination of cold helium gas and RF energy to form plasma energy. This energy is deployed beneath the skin after tumescent local anesthesia. There is an immediate profound tightening of the fibrous tissue beneath the skin combined with new collagen stimulation to give dramatic results. Most patients can return to work in 2 to 3 days and back in the gym in 2 to 3 weeks.To see an example of before and after pictures of J Plasma visit my profile page.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
