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,

Most numbness from trauma or injury to the nerves resolves by 3 to 4 months but may persist longer.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

It takes at least 3 months to start seeing results and a year to see full effects from bodytite. Some tightening happens immediately from shrinking of the connective tissue but most of the effect will be seen over time as the body generates new healthy collagen and elastin fibers....
Thank you for your question. Yes, this is normal after Body Tite and liposuction. The Body Tite works through a radiofrequency loop and causes thermal or heat damage to the tissues. This is what stimulates new collagen production and tightening of the skin. This also can cause significant...
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...
