Opinions on a board certified surgeon doing BodyTite & lipo as opposed to a board certified physician? (Photos)

When you select a board certified plastic surgeon for your procedure you are selecting someone that has had extensive training including six years of surgical residency with a focus on reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. Their daily practice specializes in these types of procedures using the latest technology to get you the best results. So from a training and experience standpoint, yes there is definitely a difference.

Hi. As already mentioned in one of the other answers, I would strongly recommend you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who can review multiple options with you. Based on your pictures, you would not likely get a good result from a minimally invasive approach, whether that be liposuction, SmartLipo, BodyTite, etc. A tummy tuck is much more likely to make a meaningful improvement, depending on your in person evaluation. A plastic surgeon has all of these tools in his/her toolbox. But a physician who is not a surgeon does not have all those tools.
Good luck and take care,

Your provider for these procedures does not necessarily need to be a board-certified surgeon VS a physician. Your choice in provider should be decided on their knowledge base, before and after photos of their work, patient reviews, and your overall experience of your consultation. Many doctors from all different aspects of medicine offer these services.
