How many litres of fat can I expect to have removed with BodyTite lipo? (Photo)

Question

I know it's hard to say with photos but trying to get a realistic idea of how much fat can be removed from my arms using bodytite lipo. I obviously want them to look as small as possible but trying to understand what is possible so I'm not disappointed with my results. Also if I have arms and necktite done at the same time would that effect how much can be removed? Would I be better getting separate procedures? Thanks

Hi, Thanks for your question and your picture.
To assess if you are a possible candidate for Vaser liposuction I would need additional pictures of your arms also in different position and of your neck/jaw line area.  
However the first option for your arms should be surgical arm lift. This is a quite invasive surgery and require a long scar on your arm. If you don't want to go trough this procedure then the second less invasive option could be Vaser liposuction in combination with bodytite or Renuvion/J plasma. This combined procedure increases the probability of skin tightening and so reduce more the risk of "saggy" skin. It is important to perform a detailed surgical assessment during a to face consultation to assess the quality of your skin( elasticity) and quantity of fat to be removed before to proceed with the surgery and your expectations. I usually perform this procedure in local anesthesia and it is possible to combine arms with the neck/double chin/jaw line procedure in the same session. 
I would recommend to make an appointment with a surgeon expert in body contouring and skin tightening procedures for a medical/surgical assessment in order to make a bespoke surgical or medical treatment. 
Best Wishes, 
Dr Fiore

Thank you for your question and posting your photos. It is difficult to estimate the amount of fat that would be removed in conjunction with the BodyTite procedure. I would estimate perhaps 250-350 cc per arm. BodyTite is not so much associated with the fat volume removed as the degree of skin and tissue tightening beneath the skin. Doing FaceTite on the neck will not effect how much fat will be removed from your arms. The fat removal component of this procedure is performed with some form of liposuction.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Hi There Thank you for your question.The issue is not fat removal but about tissue and skin tightening.There is a balance between removing fat and tissue tightness abd the trick is to find a happy medium between both.I know that does not answer your question but i would be surprised to remove more than 400mls from your arms.I hope that helps - if you see someone who has done a few hundred cases there is nothing to worry about.Kind Regards and Best Wishes Dr Dinesh Maini Zenith Cosmetic Clinics Nottingham & Harley St, London

Hi, BodyTite can be done together with liposuction. The same rules apply as with regular liposuction as for the amount removed. There is a limit on how much medicine we can inject into your body during surgery and how much fat we can remove safely. BodyTite causes some fat melting but its main purpose is to tighten the skin. In your case, if you do liposuction alone on your arms, you may have saggy skin that would require brachioplasty. BodyTite may help to avoid that long scar and give you a good result.
