Can I be too overweight to do BodyTite?

     If you have a safe BMI and are medically healthy, you can proceed with BodyTite.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

This is a very common question with my patients. The best results are seen in patients who not only invest in the procedure but also in an overall healthy lifestyle to further the effects that you will see from BodyTite. Not all body fat is created equally (unfortunately some is much more stubborn and difficult to rid with just healthy lifestyle) and it would be best to have a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon with expertise in fat reduction procedures so they can personally evaluate you to see what would yield the best overall results.Best of luck!

While it is possible to undergo surgery while you're 25lb over your usual weight, it would be ideal for you to try to lose some weight first.Losing weight after your procedure will degrade the cosmetic results.

For best results it would be best to be close to your natural weight. That being said, I would recommend a consultation with a body contouring expert. You might be a good candidate for a tummy tuck in addition to liposuction with fat grafting, which would give you the best results in the areas you mentioned. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. BodyTite is a minimally-invasive body contouring procedure that utilizes radio-frequency assisted lipolysis. It combines two successful technologies into a double-duty procedure that reduces fat while simultaneously tightening the skin. BodyTite reduces fat without leaving behind wrinkly or saggy skin thru the use of radio-frequency. For more information, please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist. 

Hi There Thank you for your excellent question.Bodytite is an excellent method of fat reduction where the skin is a bit loose or there is some weight loss planned.We have treated many hundreds of patients such as yourself with Bodytite and the results are usually excellent.Kind Regards Dr Dinesh Maini Zenith Cosmetic Clinics 

Thank you for an excellent question. This is a very common concern that we see in our office and the answer is not always straightforward. Child bearing is always difficult. You have the effects of the pregnancy on the body and the loss of free time to take care of yourself. In general, I prefer patients to be as close to their ideal weight as possible, particularly if they are carrying visceral fat (fat under the muscle surrounding the organs of the body). That being said, if I have a motivated patient who feels getting a jump start from a body sculpting procedure such as BodyTite will help them progress, then we will proceed as long as they have reasonable expectations. Those patients that go on to implement healthy lifestyle choices are very happy with their end result. Those who do not pursue healthy choices generally are not as happy with their results. An in-person consultation will help you sort out whether this is the proper procedure for you at this time. I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

There is no reason why you cannot have bodytite at this point. Often patients will have this done as a jump start to getting in better shape as it gives them instant satisfaction and motivates them to start working out and losing weight. Of course bodytite is not a weight loss procedure in itself. Good luck

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well... I recommend you to lose weight before doing your procedures, it is better to be safe. lose those 25 pounds and you will get for sure better results.
