Just for skin tightening, will BodyTite work better if you have less fat?

I like to add liposuction to help remove the fat that has been heated by the BodyTite treatment.  It also gives a chance to contour the area as well.  Removal of small amounts of fat can make a significant difference on the overall appearance of the result.

Thank you for your question. Body Tite is a fairly new procedure that works by using a radiofrequency loop that stimulates new collagen production thus shrink wrapping or tightening the tissue. Often times people do need liposuction in the area of concern but not allows. Body Tite will work the same way with or without liposuction. I recommend you schedule a consult with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced with the system. They will be able to assess your specific anatomy and decide the best procedure for you. In our office, we offer 3D imaging to help our patient get an accurate idea of what their final result will look like. Good luck!

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 reduces fat without leaving behind wrinkly or saggy skin thru the use of radio-frequency. It’s difficult to say without a full evaluation. For more information, please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.
