What’s the difference between BodyTite and high liposuction?

Hi Laura,Great question. BodyTite is primarily used for skin tightening. It is capable of providing 45% contraction in tissues. 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. On the contrary, liposuction is primarily used to remove excessive fat deposits. However, based on your pictures, to achieve the best desired results, you will benefit from both procedures. Both procedures can be performed together. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed evaluation.

If you are unhappy with your results please speak to your physician and ensure he was a full body VASER HD liposuction physciain wtih expensive experience in body shaping and not just traditional fat reduction.  At this point you should be using compression, RF treatments like venus legacy / exilis ultra / inmode forma or contoura and lymphatic massage to get you through healing.   We always add shock wave therapy such as cellutone, z wave, and eclipse evive to help prvent scar tissue formation and ensure an even and smooth result. It will take 6-12 months to see the final outcome.   If you are unhappy you can get a revision procedure by an expert in VASER HD lipo.  Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question, from the pictures you provided it looks like you would benefit from SmartLipo and BodyTite since you do have some excess fat deposits. BodyTite does not remove fat, you are likely a great candidate for BodyTite if you are looking for a minimally invasive procedure that provides detailed improvements for a tighter, smoother and more youthful skin. SmartLipo is a minimally invasive and incredibly effective way to remove stubborn deposits of fat. Combining these two treatments will give you maximum results to where you might not need a tummy tuck. I suggest an in-person consultation with a board-certified surgeon to discuss your options.
