Is BodyTite suitable for fat and cellulite removal? (Photo)

Question

Im going for liposuction next month in Seoul, but after researching, Im afraid that water jet/traditional lipo would cause sagging or make my cellulite look worse. Then I read about bodytite, but there's not much proof that it works. Im 25; lately Ive noticed that I have cellulite above my knees. I just don't want to make them more visible. Which lipo method should I choose?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

There are several ways to address cellulite depending upon depth of cellulite, location, elasticity of overall skin envelope, and subcutaneous fat layer.
There is no uniformly successful method for treating it.  My practice is now using BodyFX, a non-invasive procedure, that requires no down time to reduce the appearance of cellulite. 
The procedure combines different clinically proven modalities (radio frequency energy, deep tissue heating and suction coupled negative pressure) to distribute heat to the skin and underlying fat, causing the tissues to contract. Weekly sessions over an eight week period are recommended, but improvement is likely seen after the first few sessions.

Thank you for your photo. BodyTite is a minimally-invasive body contouring procedure that utilizes radio-frequency assisted lipolysis. It combines two successful technologies into a double-duty procedure that reduces fat while simultaneously tightening the skin. BodyTite reduces fat without leaving behind wrinkly or saggy skin thru the use of radio-frequency. For cellulite treatment, I recommend looking into Cellulaze or Z-Wave. For more information, please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

Any form of liposuction can make cellulite worse.If you going to have liposuction then the type of liposuction is not nearly as relevant as who does the procedure.bodytite is a radiofrequency based procedure.These procedures generally do not give substantial improvements and can I best potentially improve cellulite.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.
