Morpheus8 for Abdomen 3 Treatment Series

JaKho
$2,500

I am getting the Morpheu8 treatment for my belly button skin laxity. I am 39 years olds with no significant weight gain/loss in my life but did have 3 average sized pregnancies. I am very grateful that my skin bounced back, but my saggy belly button always annoyed me. A tummy tuck is obviously not a good option and I was initially interested in the BodyTite procedure when I got my breast lift and fat transfer. Dr. Buchanan felt that he could get me good results with just the Morpheus8. We both agree that if the Morpheus8 doesn't get the results I am looking for then he would roll the amount paid ($2500) into the BodyTite treatment.

I had the Morpheus8 procedure performed by Michelle the PA. We numbed my abdomen and then did the Morpheus8 in layers (starting deep and then repeated passes at a more superficial level each time). I would say that yes it does hurt and we had to take a few breaks. The pain is more cumulative than initially painful. Your skin gets sick of getting poked and gets more sensitive over time. Michelle said that we may need a 4th treatment if I am unable to tolerate the intensity. We will see how it goes. I am not expecting much improvement from this initial treatment.

Nothing exciting to report. My skin has grid marks and is itchy. The healing is gradual but not alarming. I wouldn't want to wear tight jeans or anything tight on my stomach. I would definitely not plan on wearing a bikini or crop-top anytime after the procedure.

No skin laxity improvements at week 3. The skin is still mildly reddened and your can see texture on my skin from the millions of little punctures. No more itching, so that is good. You definitely do not want to do this procedure in the summer or any season where you might want to wear a crop top.

I am interested to see how this goes and if you push ahead with further treatments. I would like to treat my belly button laxity too, and have been looking at Morpheus8. Thanks for sharing.

It took me 4 treatments to see a notable difference. The sagging is gone but I still have vertical lines from childbirth down my belly button line. My 5th treatment is Monday to make sure I get everything!

I had this treatment done 4 weeks ago and it’s still pink and bumpy. How long did your tummy take to heal?

Same here, it’s so annoying they didn’t tell me this takes so long to heal on the stomach. 4 weeks and I’m still full of red needle marks and some more reddish square patches and bumpy texture.

Hi there, how did this end up going for you? Now almost a year later?
