Dear Branjake, I'm certain it must be uncomfortable, if not scary, to experience numbness and swelling after the BodyTite procedure. This can occur, to some extent, in about a third of patients. If liposuction contouring is performed simultaneously, that number can bump up to 50%. The good news is it is temporary. I have seen complete recovery in as few as 4 weeks and as long as 4-6 months. The BodyTite procedure is knifeless. The probes used are blunt-tipped, meaning it is highly unlikely to actually divide branches of the sensory nerves. Bruises are much more common. Sometime it helps to hear from doctors and other patients that this happens from time to time, and that it almost always resolves on its own. Keep close followup with your plastic surgeon, and be well. Warmly,
