What Makes BodyTite Such A Popular Body Contouring Procedure?

Most people desire a trim, toned figure which they try to achieve with rigorous exercise and diet. However, stubborn pockets of fat and lax skin can persist and hamper their efforts. The good news is that advancements in technology have led to superior body contouring techniques that can provide the desired results. BodyTite body contouring, an innovative body sculpting technique that requires no surgery, is at the forefront of this revolution. BodyTite liposuction is a minimally invasive skin tightening and body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat and tightens the skin using radio frequency (RF) energy.

Reasons Why BodyTite Body Contouring Is So Popular

• Short downtime: BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure that provides surgical quality results without long downtime. There will be some pain, swelling and bruising for a few days. To prevent excessive swelling and help your skin adapt to the new contour, you may be instructed to wear a compression garment. Depending on individual considerations, the surgeon will recommend wearing the compression garment continuously for 1 or 2 weeks, and longer if required. This will help you to recover quicker.
• No visible scarring: This minimally invasive procedure can provide dramatic outcomes without leaving scars. BodyTite is extremely adaptable and suitable for removing stubborn fat from the arms, legs, hips, belly, 0p lo more.
• Safe: This radiofrequency aided lipolysis (RFAL) treatment is FDA approved. The surgeon can monitor and control the temperature to prevent overtreatment.
• Tightens skin: Many people who undergo liposuction may have sagging skin left behind. Your skin’s quality determines how much skin will contract following liposuction. This is not a concern with BodyTite as the radiofrequency energy tightens the skin while removing fat. BodyTite can provide up to 30% skin contraction. This makes it an excellent skin tightening treatment.
• BodyTite only needs one session: Most facial and body contouring procedures require numerous treatments spaced several weeks apart. The recovery period or traditional liposuction is substantially longer, and swelling may persist for up to 6 months. BodyTite typically needs only one session to provide optimal results.
• Quickly noticeable: Following this RFAL treatment, patients typically notice a significant change in their appearance, though final outcomes may take 6 to 8 weeks to appear.
• Short recovery period: Most patients can resume full activities and return to work within a week of their operation. It is far quicker than the conventional body contouring, providing patients who want to return to their daily lives with a fresh new look within less time. This is one of the major benefits of BodyTite over traditional liposuction.
• Outpatient procedure: BodyTite is performed on an outpatient basis. This RFAL-assisted procedure is carried out under oral sedation with extra local and tumescent anesthesia. The patient can leave the hospital the same day of the procedure. For patients looking for a safer and quicker procedure, this is why you should choose BodyTite for minimally invasive body sculpting.

Clinical Evidence Supports the Safety and Effectiveness of BodyTite Body Contouring

Unlike conventional liposuction which requires general anesthesia, body contouring in NYC now involves the use of minimally invasive techniques that require only local anesthesia. One versatile minimally invasive modality that provides excellent aesthetic results is BodyTite. This advanced liposuction platform makes use of patented radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) technology to provide safe, gentle and sophisticated body contouring. A study published in the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Journal by plastic surgeons Spero J. Theodorou, Christopher T. Chia and Robert J. Paresi found that the BodyTite RFAL device is safe and effective for energy-based liposuction with local anesthesia in the awake patient. In fact, this is the first study that used RFAL with local anesthesia in an accredited outpatient office operating facility (AAAASF).

The study involved 97 patients who underwent RFAL under local anesthesia under IRB approval. The surgeons treated 144 anatomical areas in 132 operations and collected the following data: age, sex, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), anatomical area of treatment, operative time, amount of tumescent solution used, amount of fat aspirated, amount of kilojoules (kJ) delivered, and the incidence of infections, seromas, adverse effects from medications, and thermal injuries. The patients were asked to complete an online survey assessing the aesthetic outcome and quality of life after treatment with RFAL-assisted liposuction. Three independent plastic surgeons were asked to evaluate photographs of 6-month postoperative results in comparison to the preoperative photos.

The results were as follows:

1. The overall incidence of major complications was 6.25% and the incidence of minor complications was 8.3%.
2. 82-85% of patients were satisfied with the body contouring and skin-tightening effects of RFAL.
3. 89% of patients reported they would definitely or probably recommend RFAL treatment to someone else.
4. Overall patient satisfaction was 82% for the degree of skin tightening and 85% for BodyTite body contouring results.
5. Independent evaluators noted the improvement in body contour as good to excellent in 74.5% of patients and improvement in skin tightening as good to excellent in 58.5% of patients.

The results led the authors to conclude that the BodyTite RFAL device is a safe and effective option for energy-based liposuction using local tumescent anesthesia in the awake patient.

The researchers also found that anesthetizing and treating sensitive areas like the thighs and chest with the RFAL device under local anesthesia took more than the average operating time by traditional liposuction. The authors also noted that higher concentration of lidocaine in tumescent fluid is a critical part of effectively performing BodyTite liposuction under local anesthesia.

The ideal candidate for BodyTite treatment is a person with moderate to severe skin laxity without irreversible damage to the dermis or presence of stretch marks. A moderate amount of excess fat tissue is necessary to allow for subdermal contraction to occur.

BodyTite removes unwanted and stubborn fat from multiple areas of the body such as the face, neck, chin, upper arms, abdominal areas, love handles, hips, inner thighs, knees, and buttocks. ArmTite and the BodyTite Perky Lift are two procedures that use The RFAL-assisted liposuction technique to provide well-shaped arms and breasts without scars and extensive downtime. The procedure is especially ideal for those seeking fat reduction without surgery.

The right surgeon and reliable aftercare and follow-up are all very important factors when it comes to success with BodyTite liposuction. Only an experienced plastic surgeon who is sensitive to patient requirements and attaches top priority to patient safety and care can provide safe treatment as well as attractive and long-lasting body sculpting results.
