Will BodyTite give me improvement? (Photo)

BodyTite are used to remove fat cells that are stubborn to diet and exercise. Not only can the fat be removed but the skin can also be tightened. It is a great procedure but it is not miracle and in some cases tummy tuck would be much better. At the same time, it is important that all prospective patients need to have detailed examination.I have been performing BodyTite Liposuction for over 7 years and it is a great technique for fat removal as well as skin tightening.Please make sure that you see an experienced doctor for a thorough consultation and assessment prior to undergoing any treatments.Best regards and I hope this helps, Dr. Sapijaszko (Fellow, American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery)

Hello. Thank you for your question. BodyTite does not remove any fat, but it is capable of producing a 45% contraction in tissues.  It can be combined with liposuction to improve contours dramatically.  Results can be seen immediately after one treatment and are more evident over three to six months post-treatment. Wait until six months to fully evaluate the aesthetic results. Please contact a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination.

Based on these photos you need a tummy tuck.  Internal heating will do very little if anything Renuvion will do better than Bodytite. 
You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your questions and photos. The Body Tite system works using radiofrequency to shrink wrap tissue and reduce fat via liposuction. In general, patients see about a 30% improvement in tightening. The Body Tite system will not give you a surgical result and in some situations a tummy tuck is recommended. Most surgeons try and recommend a procedure they believe will give a patient the best result. The Body Tite system works but does have limitations, therefore it is not recommended for everyone. In our office, we offer our patients 3D imaging to give them a realistic idea of what their final result will look like. Good luck!

Hello, and thank you for your questions. Bodytite will give you great results, but not as good as the results you would receive with a tummy tuck. From your pictures, you have some excess fat that would be successfully removed with a TT. However, BodyTite is much less invasive, requires less downtime, produces minimal scarring, and is a great option for someone like you, who does not want to undergo an extensive surgery. It will reduce fat in stubborn areas along with tightening the skin using Radio Frequency Assisted Lipolysis. It essentially uses a very hot temperature to melt fat, sculpt the body, and reduce wrinkles and sagging skin. Attached is a link that will help you better understand how BodyTite actually works. You will not get perfect results from it but it will give you about a 30% increase in tightening and it will shrink some of the fat. Best of luck to you and please see a board-certified surgeon with your concerns.James L. Fernau, MD
