Men or women considering BodyTite in NYC need to make sure that they know everything about the procedure in order to make an informed decision. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about the procedure –

What is BodyTite?

BodyTite is a safe, minimally-invasive cosmetic surgical procedure that removes stubborn fat and cellulite reduction efficiently and also provides noticeable skin tightening effects. The FDA-cleared BodyTite liposuction device uses patented RFAL™ (radiofrequency assisted liposuction) technology to reshape and tighten different areas of the body without the visible scars and prolonged downtime associated with conventional liposuction surgery. Radiofrequency energy is delivered to target the subcutaneous fat and liquefy it so that it can be easily removed. The procedure also coagulates the blood vessels, and tightens the skin, while leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed.

What are the Benefits of Bodytite Abdomen Liposuction?

When compared to traditional liposuction procedure, BodyTite liposuction offers the following benefits –

• No visible scars
• Fat is dissolved and removed gently
• Short treatment and recovery time
• Less bruising, bleeding and swelling
• Use of thermal energy lifts and tightens the loose skin (through renewed collagen production)

• Minimal scarring
• No lumpy irregular appearance
• Performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia

Who is a good candidate for abdomen liposuction?

• Are in good general health, without any underlying medical conditions
• Healthy skin with good elasticity
• Do not smoke
• Have realistic expectations about the surgery outcome
• Have a healthy body weight
• Are at least 18 years old

How is the procedure performed?

BodyTite abdomen liposuction in New York City uses bipolar radiofrequency technology. The device features two parallel probes, one that passes below the skin and the other that passes directly above the skin. The radiofrequency energy passes between the two probes, melting fat on the inside while simultaneously causing skin to contract and tighten. This in turn allows the surgeon sculpt the abdominal area to attain an ideal shape.

The plastic surgeon begins the procedure by administering local anesthesia. A tiny incision will be made in the abdomen area to insert the small cannula used for BodyTite treatment. RFAL energy will pass from an internal cannula to an external electrode, delivering focused energy into the adipose tissue to liquefy the fat and allow them to be easily removed. The RF energy also stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin. The final outcome is a smooth, attractive and natural looking contour.

How much time will a patient take to recover and when will final results be visible?

The procedure will take approximately 30-45 minutes, though this would vary and depend on the extent of the area treated and other individual considerations. The results of the abdominal liposuction will depend on individual considerations such as the treated area, amount of fat removed, and other factors. Initial results can be seen immediately after the procedure and the best results are usually seen after 6-12 weeks.   

When can patients resume normal physical activities?

Most people can get back to their normal exercise regimen within 2-3 weeks of BodyTite abdomen liposuction. Patients can start off with light walking the next day and perform light stretches within a week. Once the tenderness and swelling begins to subside, patients can resume their regular workout.
