BodyTite is a new aesthetic procedure that helps in tightening flabby skin after one loses weight. Salon India speaks with Dr Mohan Thomas, Senior Cosmetic Surgeon at Cosmetic Surgery Institute to understand the process and its benefits
About the treatment
Massive weight loss due to self-control with dietary restriction and exercise or due to bariatric surgery can cause a significant loss of volume in the body envelope. Along with obvious areas like the abdomen, breasts and face, other areas like the arms, thighs and buttocks also undergo changes which are akin to deflation in a balloon. These have been broadly termed as Deflation Syndrome as the changes seen and the treatment needed by different body parts is very similar.
The principle behind the appearance of this significant skin looseness is the sudden loss of volume of fat. The skin shrinkage cannot catch up with the volume lost as a result the skin looks loose and hangs in many places. Some places having marginal looseness such as the face and arms, will bene t with non surgical skin tightening called the ‘BodyTite’ while other areas will need a surgical procedure to address the loose skin envelope.
