I had BodyTite done on my flanks without any lipo. I'm I going to see much of a result?

BodyTite will melt some of the fat, and damage other fat cells, the net result being some decrease in volume in the areas treated. BodyTite also tightens the skin over the treatment area to a much better degree than other techniques such as Smartlipo. I can only assume the reason why your surgeon did not perform liposuction was that you have very little underlying fat. Obviously some photos would be helpful in making a determination.

Thank you for your question. 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. Traditional liposuction removes excess fat and then relies on the skin to contract smoothly over the area on its own. BodyTite reduces fat without leaving behind wrinkly or saggy skin thru the use of radio-frequency. It’s difficult to say without photos or a full evaluation. For more information, please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist. 

The device does tighten the skin.  As mentioned previously if you wanted a decrease in the size of the area the removal of fat needs to be done at the same time.

Thank you for your question. Very difficult to answer your question without more information or pictures. If the only goal was skin and tissue tightening and there was a proper elevation in the temperatures, you should see a good result. If on the other hand you were looking for size reduction as well, you may not see the results you were hoping for.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
