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.
