Everything You Want to know About BodyTite Available at Iteld Plastic Surgery

BodyTite is an excellent option for patients seeking a minimally invasive way to remove stubborn fat while tightening loose skin. With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, it’s an attractive alternative to traditional liposuction or surgery. Is it the right solution for you? Let’s take a look at everything you may want to know about BodyTite.

What is BodyTite?

BodyTite is a cutting-edge body contouring procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to melt fat and tighten skin. This minimally invasive treatment is ideal for our patients looking to refine their body shape without undergoing surgery. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity along with stubborn fat deposits.

How BodyTite Works

For this procedure, I use a small probe that I insert under the skin, delivering controlled radiofrequency energy to heat and break down fat cells. This energy also stimulates collagen production, helping improve skin elasticity and firmness. As with liposuction, I remove the liquefied fat through a small cannula, reducing body fat while tightening the overlying skin.

Benefits of BodyTite 

• Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional liposuction or surgical body contouring, BodyTite requires only small incisions, resulting in less downtime, less scarring, and faster recovery. 
• Fat Reduction & Skin Tightening: While traditional liposuction removes fat, it does not tighten the skin. BodyTite addresses both concerns in one procedure. Patients who don’t want to remove fat can still benefit from its skin rejuvenating effects.  
• Versatile Treatment Areas: BodyTite can be used on various areas of the body, including the abdomen, arms, thighs, love handles, knees, and even the chin. 
• In-Office Option: For some patients, I am able to do this as an in-office procedure. 
• Long-Lasting Natural Results: The fat cells removed are permanently eliminated, but it’s essential to maintain a stable weight through a healthy diet and exercise. The gradual skin tightening ensures results look smooth and natural rather than leaving excess loose skin.

Good Candidates for BodyTite

Ideal candidates for BodyTite are patients who: 

• Have stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise 
• Experience mild to moderate skin laxity 
• Are in good overall health and close to their ideal body weight 
• Don’t want to undergo or don’t need extensive liposuction or surgery

What to Expect During and After the Procedure

During the Procedure: Depending on the treatment area and patient preference, BodyTite is typically performed either under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia. For some patients, and depending on the area, I perform BodyTite as an in-office procedure.

Afterwards: Most patients experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which subsides within a few days. Results gradually improve over several months as collagen production increases and the skin tightens. Most of my patients can return to normal activities within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few weeks.
