Hi. I had a consult for a breast lift and the surgeon suggested I try the bodytite lift by InMode. She indicated that it wouldn't have the same results as a surgical lift, but the results would be good with no scar. It was advertised as doing about half the lifting of a surgical breast list. Someone else said the results were nothing like a lift. I can only find one better/after picture of the procedure on breasts online. Any ideas of how much improvement I would see? Thank you.
Answer: Will Help, but not a full substitute BodyTite will certainly help lift a breast, however, it is not a replacement for a surgical breast lift. I recommend BodyTite in patients who are "on the border" for needing a surgical lift. BodyTite is certainly the most powerful "non-surgical" tool on the market for this, however, it is both patient and surgeon specific. Depending on the degree of ptosis of the breast will determine how effective a result you will receive. Also, depending on how aggressive the surgeon is will be a very significant factor in your results.

Answer: When you need a lift...only a lift will do Ultimately, the question as to whether RF skin tightening can provide an adequate lift is dependent upon the degree of ptosis and the patient's expectations for correction.Patients must first consider the position of the NAC (nipple areolar complex i.e. the pigmented portion of the breast) as it relates to the inframammary crease. If the nipples are at or below the level of the crease the patient may benefit from a lift or mastopexy. The breast lift is designed to elevate sagging breasts to a more youthful position. It also helps to reshape and tighten the skin of the breasts. This is typically accomplished via a periareolar (around the nipple) incision with or without a vertical incision.Bodytite can tighten the skin envelope (to a certain extent). However, it will not necessarily eliminate the need for a surgical lift. By tightening the skin envelope, it may serve to limit the scar burden of a formal mastopexy (converting an anchor to a lollipop or a circumareolar).As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Answer: Does a Bodytite by InMode breast lift have similar results as a surgical breast lift? Numerous plastic surgeons in LA, including those at Hughes Plastic Surgery, are offering the BodyTite radio-frequency assisted lipolysis with exceptional surgical results without the excision, scars, or downtime. Sedentary activities can be resumed in two to three days and full activity with exercise within two to three weeks. No one can predict what the results would be as liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent. Always go with the talent and results of the surgeon, and do not select based upon technique or cost.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Bodytite I would be careful to say that the device can deliver a surgical lift. It makes more sense to discuss the fact that the device can cause contraction of the skin. Your breast examination would then lead me to provide you with some reasonable expectations.
