Months Later

$8,606
After more then 4 months, this is what my thighs look like after multiple treatments of Fractora, Mobius and Cupping. Looks way worse then before the 8500$ spent on Bodytite. So depressing. I have 80 yr old Granny thighs????

I am so sorry this happened to you! If you have the funding which may be difficult at this point I would consider a full lower body lift. It would leave a scar yes, but it would fix. I have seen great before and afters. Many healing very well for those with fair skin like yourself. worse case you can always do camouflage tattoo makeup to make it even less noticeable. You can also try thermage that is only for skin tightening not lipo
Bodytite ruined my legs as well. I am only 47 and am afraid my legs are ruined for life. I am almost at the 3 month mark, but I am not seeing improvement. In fact, the area is saggier and much worse than before treatment. In addition, I’ve also developed white patches on the area, which seems like a circulation problem. I am so infuriated with my doctor because he made it seem like an easy procedure. I had specifically asked him how long it would take to see results and his response was “right away”. What a bunch of BS. I had months of bumps and lumps under my skin, and now these mysterical white patches with much looser skin. Now all they keep telling me is to wait for 3 months for the collagen to heal. Well 3 months is around the corner and I am not expecting some miracle to happen. I am also a small person without a lot of body fat. I think he took out too much fat, and all I am left with much more saggy skin behind my knees and in the front of my thighs. For reference, I also had a surgical butt lift done at the same time for sagging skin on my butt, which is healing so much faster. I may post pictures at some point.
I’m sorry to hear. Sounds like you are going through the same thing as I am. I am happy however that you posted a comment so that others can see this is not a very good treatment for this particular issue even though doctors are pitching to us ladies that it is
Thank you DJBritstar. Yep it is the worst. I am sorry you are going through the same thing.
I think doctors need to be more mindful of the area they are treating with this procedure as well as other factors, including the age of the patient.
Just seeing this thread a few years later as I was excited to book bodytite. How is it now several years later? I have only heard positive things about it so now I’m second guessing my decision
Just an honest question. Wouldn't you expect a little sagging if you take out the fat? I know the treatment is supposed to help tighten the skin. But honestly it can only do so much and if you've had other procedures could that have possible contributed to outcome? I honestly think you look wonderful. Don't let it get you down.
I didn’t have any fat taken out??? The procedure was done ONLY to tighten up loose skin. It was 10 GRAND. It made it worse! I’m on film regularly - it does get me down as it effects my wallet, job and personal life. I was sold a procedure that not only did not work but made everything much worse.
@Serena9377, I did not have much fat to begin with, just a little. My doctor suggested to remove a little bit. I trusted him to take out the amount of fat that was appropriate for my situation, as he seemed like an expert in this.

As you may know, the success in liposuction is not how much fat you take out, but how much fat YOU LEAVE IN.

I am 4 months out, and the it looks worse now that the swelling has subsided. I cannot even wear dresses even that go down to my knee.
Same
Hi doll. You should look into J Plasma for skin Tightning. Let me know if you want to look into it, and I will give you the info for a couple of doctors so you can see their work on the pictures and videos that they post on instagram about the j Plasma for skin Tightning.
Thank You going to check now
Too bad you cannot sue that damn Dr! It will not bring back your legs though.
Hi, Sorry to hear it didn't work and thanks for sharing as I have the same issue and i'm the same age. I have it on my arms too. Iv'e done considerable research and have a theory i'm going to try. Radiesse, needs to be topped up twice yearly but it's safe and is a type of filler and I have seen good results from others on here. Not so expensive either. Hope you find a solution and I know how depressing and frustrating it can be. Thanks again for sharing and helping others.
Did you try this? How did it work?
Thank you very much for the information, I was going to look into Fractora, now I won’t even bother.
I wold still look into Fractora and Morpheus. Lots of options.
Thank You Cherise, Morpheus8 sounds like it might work. Thank You, if you have any other suggestions on skin tightening I would appreciate, I may go in for a consult for Renuvion, any thoughts on RealSelf would be appreciated, my knee caps have really got me bummed.
I have done multiple sessions with both Fractora and Morpheus - A it’s SUPER painful. B it still looks the same. I’ve now probably done 3 Fractora and 2 Morpheus.
Oh my goodness, thanks for the reply, I’ll let you know if Fotona Tightening works, I just had my first of 4 sessions.
Please do at the moment I’ve given up trying to work on it because I’ve been so focused on it for a year that I just needed a break to let it go but it still bothers me tremendously and I do need to continue to focus on it soon so please do keep me in the loop it would be much appreciated
I follow Dr. Doris Day on Instagram and she has the Fontona Tightening. My other alternative is Renuvion. I’ll keep let you know.
Hey sweetheart I figured I would check back in to see if you’ve had any luck with some of these other treatments?
Hi DJ, upper skin above knee caps is firm, I’m really happy. Kneecaps have shown no improvement. In addition, I’m doing wall sits and using Retin A twice daily.
Bsyasabee, which procedure helped with tightening above the knee? I’m also need tightening of mid quad to knee thanks to a dumb idea of getting Lipo in my 20s which I didn’t even need. I wanted to slim down an inner knee bulge that I hated, but got talked into Lipo in inner legs to give legs a more shaply look, I was 102 lbs then and all it left me with now is still bulging knees and loose skin
Oh I have wasted so much money thus far, please contact me in November, I'm having Renuvion done in October
Awesome and thanks!!! I’ve heard the recovery is somewhat brutal on Renuvion but I saw pics from a girl who had her waist and legs done. Her waist looked AMAZING! Her legs looked pretty good, but the skin didn’t tighten as much as she would have liked. I thought she still looked good

3 Months In

Still looks awful! Once again this procedure made EVERYTHING WORSE! I so wish I had not done it. Using Fractora, Cupping, Velloshape 3 to try to get it back to at least how awful it was before the 10k for Bodytite. My legs are now, I think just forever ruined. They were already bad but this was the nail in the coffin. Doubt I’ll ever be able to wear shorts or a swimming suit ever again with out wanting to run and hide ??

Sorry to hear it.was it a bodytite that messed you up?
Think the only thing that works is surgery. You could try threads and sculptra type stuff. Easy to find videos of women who do this on themselves on rumble

Doctor Follow Up

So I saw the dr for a follow up yesterday and they offered me 1 free treatment of Fractora and Venus. Which we all know 1 treatment of each of those is not enough to fix the problem. I’m also doing /paying for lipo massages to try to help as well. Took some more pics of the back of my thighs. The inner thigh is also still very crepey but hard to take a picture of with shadows from it being the inner thigh.

Did they try to lipo the back of your thighs? I'm wondering what made it worse :/
The used bodytite on my thighs and buttocks to reduce cellulite and crepey texture but as you see made it worse plus I’m 10 grand in the hole.
I had the same thing done in Austin Tx. I’m so depressed. I am a small person but my legs and thighs are disgusting after a lot of money. I’m faithful With my compression suit and these massages. I’m so depressed and self conscious ; I will not even wear shorts.
I’m sorry to hear your going thru the same thing. I even wore my compression garments longer than what they told me to hoping that it would help. I’ve been doing massages as well and have started cupping. How much did you spend for the whole thing? How long ago did you do the procedure? How much worse would you say that your situation is from before the surgery?
I am so sorry you are going through this. I made the same dreadful mistake over 10 years ago and had lipo when I was only 110lbs. He botched it so badly and I have not worn shorts since. I have spent thousands and thousands trying to repair (cellulaze, smart lipo, Mesotherapy, Coolsculpting, Thermage, sculpsure) and nothing has helped. It is so super depressing. We are are own worst critics bc although you are not what society considers "perfect", you are not nearly as bad as what you see. I am not researching top lipo revision doctors and fat grafting in hopes to finally put this nightmare behind me. Best of luck to you!!
@Bellab3 OMG - sounds like the exact same thing as mine. My original surgery which messed up things was 15 years ago. Since then I have had four different surgeries to try to fix it. Have used Fractora, cupping, Venus, Lipomassage etc I feel like I’m going nuts, as the more effort I put into trying to fix it the worse it becomes
Sigh. I feel your pain. My entire 30's was spent trying to correct the damage and always making excuses about why I can't go to a pool party etc. I am a perfectionist and so this has had such a negative impact on my life and self esteem. I am also starting to research thigh lifts as the skin is starting to sag and look worse with age from where he took way too much fat out:( If only we could turn back time.
I sent you a message in your inbox, I’m so not wanting to do the thigh lift but I’m thinking I might have to as well. But serious ugly scars where you don’t want them. Sucks to as both of us being thin we should not have to be having thigh lifts just to correct mistakes that various surgeons have made on us
So I just had a FaceTime consult with a Dr who specializes in lipo revision (he is in NY). My heart dropped when he said he used Bodytite as I immediately thought of you. Do you have ANY improvement now that it has had some time to work?
No I have not had any improvements. That’s with the dr adding extra treatments as well as I’m sure he has eyes and can see the bodytite made everything MUCH MUCH worse
