Should my inner thighs feel tight following BodyTite to inner and outer thighs?

Question

Procedure 10 days ago. Lots of bruising following bodytite to innner and outer thighs and inner knees. That is healing nicely but there is still a good amount of pain when i stand coming from the upper front inner thigh area. The pain affects my walking and still cannot bend to put on pants or cross my legs when sitting. Just wondering if this is normal or not. Thanks.

Thank you for your question. Yes, this is normal after Body Tite and liposuction. The Body Tite works through a radiofrequency loop and causes thermal or heat damage to the tissues. This is what stimulates new collagen production and tightening of the skin. This also can cause significant swelling and some tenderness. If you are concerned about any symptoms, I recommend you follow up with your surgeon. They can guide you through the post op period to reach the best result possible. Good luck!

What you are describing sounds like the recovery after liposuction.  BodyTite alone doesn't create the surgical swelling and bruising that liposuction does.  I combine the two techniques frequently.
