I had Bodytite over a year ago and it left me with uneven fat distribution, red webbing, and looser skin. I'm now looking at a few alternatives, one being a tummy tuck. A few doctors I've visited with said that procedure should be fine but the last one said he wouldn't touch me since I've already damaged the underlying tissue, making me more susceptible to skin necrosis and that my stomach isn't bad enough to risk it.
Answer: Necrosis with BodyTite Necrosis (tissue death) is a severe complication that can occur after any surgical or minimally invasive procedure, including BodyTite, if complications arise or if the procedure is not performed correctly. Here are some factors to consider regarding the likelihood of necrosis after a botched BodyTite procedure:

Answer: Botched Bodytite Thank you for your question. The answer is somewhere in between. With Bodytite, the radio frequency energy is directed at the skin/dermis/fat, which hold the blood supply to the tissues. This does result in some micro scarring. This has the same effect as laser liposuction. I have done many abdominoplasties after laser lipsuction, and it is a more difficult procedure because of the scarring, and many of the irregularities that you describe will not be smoothed out after abdominoplasty. If you're in good health and a non-smoker, you should not be at a markedly high risk of vascular necrosis, although it could occur.

Answer: Is necrosis more likely to happen after a botched Bodytite? Fat necrosis is the death of fat that occurs usually secondary to the lack of blood supply. Necrosis can develop from infections, improper wound care, an injury, frostbite or circulation problems, Without the blood supply, the fat dies and becomes calcified and hard. This necrotic fat then may be painful or create an unpleasing appearance. Fat necrosis typically occurs as a result of trauma or secondary to transfer of fat during a surgical procedure.

Answer: Treatment options My first hand experience from the new generation of skin tightening devices has been pretty disappointing. To the point where I sold the device at a substantial financial loss because I couldn’t recommend it to anybody it didn’t work. in my case the device was J plasma.
