Would BodyTite be appropriate for removing fat and tightening my upper arms? (photos)

Question

I am interested in removing fat and tightening my upper arms. Would BodyTite be appropriate in fixing this or another procedure such as Smartlipo? I am 32 years old, 5'4 and 126 pounds.

For arm contouring, it is important to consider the degree of adipose excess and skin laxity. If you have no loose skin and just a small amount of fat, liposuction alone might be adequate. If you have a lot of loose skin, excising this in the form of a brachioplasty might be the best option. If you are somewhere in between - which a lot of people are - BodyTite with liposuction to the upper arms would allow you to tighten skin (without accepting the prominent brachioplasty scar) and debulk excess fat in a minimally invasive fashion.

Meet with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options and exam!

Great question! Yes, Bodytite would be a great procedure for to remove fat and tighten your upper arms. Bodytite is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes radio frequency to tighten the skin, while removing fat as well with liposuction. You will wear a compression garment for about 30 days to help the skin retract.

From your photos you appear to be a good candidate for BodyTite.  This procedure combines liposuction with RF technology that can tighten skin up to 40%.  An in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended to ensure this is the best option for you.

Hi and thank you for your question.  I believe you would benefit from BodyTite as it gently treats fat in stubborn areas while tightening the skin.  This minimally invasive procedure will shape and tighten without the scalpel or large scarring, helping you sculpt your upper arms into its ultimate shape. Keep in mind that BodyTite is a treatment that tightens over time, seeing improvement in your arms each month!
A consultation with your physician for a proper treatment plan is always recommended.

you likely can do renuvion or bodytite with liposuction and get 30-50% improvement maybe more, if you have significant loose skin it needs to be surgically improved.  Consult us. Best, Dr. Emer.
