Can BodyTite be done without liposuction?

Bodytite is a radio-frequency treatment which serves to tighten skin. This accomplished by subdermal heating of the collagen fibers which can cause tightening as well as stimulate fibroblast activity for collagen deposition. This can be combined with liposuction (but does not necessarily need to be). 
The fat removal component is no different than traditional liposuction. For those patients with excess fat in the absence of skin laxity Bodytite does not necessarily hold an advantage over more traditional liposuction. However, in patients with laxity or in whom there is a concern for worsening laxity post liposuction, a radio-frequency tightening will help.
With regards to your specific question, aspiration (not necessarily liposuction) is a component of every BodyTite procedure although the aims will differ. In those patients seeking only tightening, liposuction will be employed not for the purposes of fat removal but to remove excess heated fluid in order to better to limit tissue exposure (aspiration).
As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

BodyTite is capable of producing a 45% contraction in tissues; it can be done in conjunction with or without liposuction.  Bodytite is used for treatment of all body areas with large volume to tighten skin on arms, abdomen (in conjunction with liposuction), knees, inner thighs, and bra rolls. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

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. BodyTite can also be done without liposuction. For more information, please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

Thank you for contacting realself.com and offering up a question.  BodyTite bipolar radiofrequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL) using the larger RF applicator by InMode/Invasix is most commonly performed in addition to some form and amount of liposuction.  As one of the first 25 surgeons trained in both FaceTite, and BodyTite in the US, I have completed quite a number of cases thus far.
BodyTite is a technique, at present, that only surgeons trained and certified in liposuction can perform.  Training strongly suggests that the surgeon begin and progress through cases involving the tummy, thighs, face/neck, and then arms lastly.  There is a "Goldilocks" amount, and location of fat removal for every person.  If you have very little fat to remove, but need soft tissue tightening, then BodyTite alone may be offered to you.
I have completed a few cases applying BodyTite alone.  My patients were very toned Cross-Fit athletes that just wanted soft tissue tightening.  There was really very little, if any, fat to treat.  Actually, on one patient with a small tummy, I used a FaceTite applicator.
As for the rest of us (mere mortals), you will achieve a much better result with liposuction and BodyTite together.  Typically, liposuction, and BodyTite are listed and charged for separately.  It may seem your surgeon is just trying to "pad the bill."  Please, remember, prior to BodyTite, we had SmartLipo with mild skin and soft tissue tightening, but now I have BodyTite with about 30 to 40% tightening.  You will get what you pay for.
Thanks again, and good luck.

Thank you for your question. The answer is Yes, BodyTite can be performed without liposuction. I do this when I am strictly going for skin tightening, especially on the legs where skin laxity is often a problem. I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Did a consult today without any need for liposuction.  Of course it can be a stand alone procedure it that is what makes sense.
