When diet and exercise are not enough to achieve the body contours you want, liposuction can help remove localized stubborn fat deposits. However, some patients also have skin laxity, which can make the final contour appear less defined. By combining BodyTite with liposuction, Dr. David K. Funt can address both concerns in the same treatment plan.
At Funt Aesthetics, Dr. Funt is a board-certified plastic surgeon and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons with decades of experience in cosmetic surgery and body contouring. Liposuction with BodyTite can be customized to reduce unwanted fat while encouraging firmer, smoother-looking skin.
How BodyTite Enhances Liposuction
Liposuction removes localized fat to improve body shape, but it does not directly tighten loose skin. Patients with good skin elasticity may achieve their desired contour with liposuction alone, while those with mild to moderate laxity may benefit from adding BodyTite.
BodyTite uses radiofrequency-assisted liposuction technology to deliver controlled RF energy beneath the skin. This energy heats the deeper tissues and can encourage soft-tissue contraction while fat is being removed.
The combination allows fat reduction and skin contraction to be addressed together, helping create a smoother transition across the treated area.
What Areas Can Liposuction With BodyTite Treat?
Liposuction with BodyTite can be used on several areas where stubborn fat and loose skin occur together, including:
-
Abdomen and waist
-
Flanks
-
Thighs
-
Upper arms
-
Back
-
Other localized areas of body fat and skin laxity
The exact treatment plan depends on how much fat is present, the quality of the skin, and the contour the patient wants to achieve. BodyTite has been studied for radiofrequency-assisted liposuction in areas including the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, and flanks.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Liposuction With BodyTite?
Ideal candidates are generally healthy adults with localized fat deposits and mild to moderate skin laxity. Patients may notice these changes after pregnancy, following weight loss, or as skin elasticity gradually changes with age.
BodyTite may be especially useful when liposuction alone could leave the overlying skin looking loose. Patients with substantial excess skin may need a different procedure, such as surgical skin removal, to achieve the desired improvement.
During consultation, Dr. Funt evaluates fat distribution, skin quality, overall health, and treatment goals to determine whether liposuction alone or liposuction with BodyTite is the better approach.
Liposuction With BodyTite Recovery and Results
Swelling, bruising, soreness, and tightness are common after treatment. Depending on the extent of the procedure, patients may need several days to a couple of weeks before returning comfortably to work and normal daily activities.
A compression garment may be recommended to support the treated areas and help control swelling. The reduction in fat is visible as swelling improves, while skin contraction and tissue remodeling continue gradually over the following months. Radiofrequency-assisted liposuction has been studied specifically for its ability to combine fat removal with soft-tissue contraction.
