BodyTite™ is a body remodeling procedure which removes unwanted fat cells, re-contours the area and at the same time firms your skin. BodyTite™ may well revolutionize the world of body contouring and plastic surgery. Early studies show that BodyTite™ assisted liposuction tightens the skin up to 40% more than traditional liposuction.
Superior safety, Superior control, Superior results
Rapid uniform heating of the tissue allows a new level of body contouring never before possible with ease, very
little bruising and discomfort. This new technology allows Dr. Hart to use traditional liposuction while simultaneously using radio-frequency energy to internally heat connective tissue, which causes unprecedented collagen contraction and creates connective tissue and skin tightening.
Safety
The use of RFAL (radiofrequency assisted liposuction) results in less trauma
to the surrounding tissue and significantly less bruising, swelling, and
discomfort. The ingenious engineering provides many new safety features,
which allows Dr. Hart to uniformly heat the connective tissue and skin with unprecedented speed, control and safety.
What Does That Mean to You?
40%-50% tightening means amazingly better results
It means we can do more aggressive liposuction on areas where the skin is looser because we know we can cause significant contraction to bring in that loose skin once it is emptied of unwanted fat better for inner thighs, upper arms, loose tummies!
Great for secondary liposuction in areas where you want a little bit more but the skin is loosening
Less bruising = less down time, probably no bruising at one week!
Fat melting is particularly effective in fibrotic areas like men's love handles, gynecomastia (male breasts).
Can be done with local anesthetics, right in the office. In addition
to the local anesthesia, patients are given a valium and pain medication.
How is This Different From Regular Liposuction? Traditional liposuction uses a
cannula to suction out fat cells. BodyTite uses the same motion as
traditional liposuction, but the fat is safely heated (emulsified) which
allows suctioning with greater ease and less trauma to the surrounding
tissues. This controlled heating creates connective tissue and skin
tightening never before available to patients!
How is This Different From SmartLipo? SmartLipo is a laser
assisted liposuction that does show more tightening than traditional
liposuction techniques. This was the real advancement that laser
assisted liposuction taught us. The problem was that the laser fiber
is not an efficient way to heat the underlying tissue and the current
systems do not allow simultaneous aspiration (removal) of the emulsified
fat. This makes the procedure almost twice as long and not nearly as
effective in evenly heating all connective tissue. In early studies
comparing the two techniques, the tightening effect with BodyTite is 2-4
times more effective on SmartLipo, and probably twice as fast.
The Power of Tightening *Traditional liposuction
shows skin contraction of approximately 5-7%
*SmartLipo shows skin contraction of 8-15% *BodyTite shows skin contraction
of 40-50%!!!
What is the Recovery Time? Liposuction patients with
the BodyTite technique have significant decrease in bruising, swelling, and
discomfort with a fast recovery. You can be back at work in 2-3 days.
We ask that patients wear a post surgical garment to assist in shaping and
reduce swelling. You will feel sore for the first week, but usually
nothing worse than how a strenuous workout would feel. You will be
able to go about your usual activities, except that we ask that you do not
work out for at least a week.
