How Does BodyTite Work?
BodyTite is usually performed with local anesthesia, but general anesthesia can be used if you are nervous or getting several areas treated. The special BodyTite applicator is inserted via three-millimeter incisions in your skin. Internal and external thermometers will protect your skin from burns during the procedure. Dr. Hakimi will use the applicator to loosen and liquefy the fat using radiofrequency waves so the fat can be easily suctioned from your body. The heat used during your fat removal will tighten your connective tissue and skin for immediate skin contraction. BodyTite procedures normally take around 30 – 45 minutes for each area treated. Multiple treatments may be required or suggested by Dr. Hakimi to provide your best outcomes. Recovery typically takes about 5 – 10 days. A compression garment should be worn over the treated areas to promote healing while also holding your new contours. Some outcomes may be visible instantly; however, your final results will be apparent in about 3 – 6 months as the inflammation and swelling subside. Even though the fat that’s removed can’t return, remaining fat may become larger if you gain weight so it is important to keep a healthy, steady weight after your BodyTite treatment.
