I've been hearing about Bodytite -- some new kind of lipo? What is it? Is it safe? Does it work?
Answer: BodyTite and FaceTite Thank you for your question. BodyTite and its sister procedure FaceTite are procedures that can significantly reduce skin laxity with minimal scars. In addition, the procedures can be used to enhance liposuction and body contour results. The procedure has both an internal probe that uses intense radiofrequency energy to help melt the fat while strengthening the fibrous septae (that give the skin more tone). In addition, there is an external probe that allows radiofrequency energy to be delivered to the skin that allows for additional skin tightening. This dual approach (internal/external) can be done safely as it also monitors the temperature of the the tissues being heated and sets safety limits on the temperature to prevent burns. These features are a great upgrade compared to traditional laser assisted procedures (e.g Smart Lipo or Slim Lipo, etc...). I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area with BodyTite/FaceTite for a consultation to see if this is for you.

Answer: BodyTite Skin Tightening Thank you for your question. BodyTite is radio frequency skin tightening in combination with liposuction. The BodyTite technology allows for up to 40% skin tightening compared to 8% with standard liposuction. The procedure is similar to standard liposuction: first - the tissue is filled with tumescent solution (numbing medicine), second - the BodyTite device heats the tissue to a specified temperature which allows for contraction of the collagen fibers and breaking up of the fat, third - liposuction is performed to remove the excess fat. Best to get a few in-person consults from board certified plastic surgeons. Good luck.

Answer: All You Need to Know About BodyTite Liposuction & Skin Tightening Report Thank you for the detailed question. BodyTite is a skin tightening modality that is used in conjuction with liposuction to help contour and sculpt the body. The liposuction removes fat cells and afterwards, BodyTite's internal and external radio frequency waves help to tighten the skin. This new device has a temperature probe and display to insure the skin is not getting too hot and burning. I recommend going in for a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to find out if BodyTite is the right procedure for you. We offer consultations via Skype/FaceTime for prospective patients who are far away from my office. For more information, please visit our webpage.

Answer: BodyTite Lipo Hi. Great question! BodyTite Lipo is a way to use liposuction to remove fat while at the same time, using radiofrequency energy to tighten skin from the inside and outside! It can be used in almost any location where you desire fat reduction and/or skin tightening. And all with tiny incisions! When done by trained plastic surgeons, it is very safe and effective! Anyone who would consider lipo should also consider this added benefit! Best of luck!

Answer: BodyTite and FaceTite - Dallas The BodyTite and FaceTite technology has recently been FDA-cleared, and my early experience with it has shown the results to be quite impressive. Both work to contour and sculpt areas of the face and body by destroying excess fat, but the biggest benefit is the significant amount of skin contraction or tightening that can occur. Furthermore, this tightening effect happens immediately and continues as the healing progresses. It's been available for a number of years in Europe and Canada, and is now becoming more popular in the U.S. The procedure can safely be performed much like other body contouring procedures, but the person performing it should have the proper training and experience, along with the requisite credentials, to ensure that the highest standards are met.
