the reviews I've read and the pre/post op photos I've seen have me wondering if bodytite is as effective at overall fat removal as traditional liposuction. While I love the idea of the minimal invaseness and overall smoothness, and skin tightening I am most concerned with eliminating the fat on my flank area. I have definitely decided that is the best option for my abdomen sag, but wanted to get some input about if that is the best option for areas that are more fatty.
Answer: Bodytite vs. Traditional 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.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

CONTACT NOW Answer: Bodytite and liposution The Bodytite device is used to improve skin contraction. I prefer to do this with liposuction in areas where the amount of fat is larger and you want to reduce it.

Answer: Is BodyTite superior to normal lipo in all ways? Bodytite does not remove any fat but it tightens tissue. It can be combined with liposuction to improve contours dramatically. Liposuction cannula will require larger incisions.

Answer: BodyTite is not superior to normal lipo BodyTite is not superior to normal liposuction, but BodyTite PLUS liposuction is superior to normal lipo. This is because the two procedures act by using different mechanisms. BodyTite burns some fat as it thermally contracts the fibrous network beneath your skin. There is definitiely some degree of fat removal by burning fat cells. However, liposuction actually sucks out the fat, and lots of it. Liposuction can remove liters of fat in one procedure. Unfortunately, when you remove fat, the overlying skin can get saggy or deflated. This is where BodyTite and FaceTite come in. By causing collagen remodeling, BodyTite and FaceTite are as close as we can get to cutting out skin without actually cutting out skin. In many cases, I would insist my patients have both procedures at once to maximize their outcomes. After removing the filling, for example, you want to reduce the casing for the best result.
