BodyTite: Radiofrequency-Assisted Liposuction for Body Contouring

About BodyTite

BodyTite is a revolutionary, minimally invasive liposuction treatment that removes excess fat and tightens skin with very little recovery time. This FDA-approved radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) procedure allows Dr. Cynthia Mizgala at A Woman Plastic Surgeon to efficiently improve body contours for patients in Metairie and New Orleans, LA.

Ideal Candidates for BodyTite

BodyTite can benefit patients who want to see improved contours and skin tightness in one or multiple body areas. Ideal candidates wish to eliminate pockets of fat and improve sagging skin without extensive surgery. Common treatment areas include the arms, stomach, chest, knees, and thighs.

BodyTite Procedure

Surgical Technique

BodyTite is typically performed under local anesthesia. A specialized applicator is inserted through small incisions to loosen and liquefy fat with radiofrequency waves. The liquefied fat is then suctioned out while the heat simultaneously tightens skin and connective tissue. Treatments usually take 30-45 minutes per area.

What to Expect After BodyTite

There is minimal downtime after BodyTite. Patients should wear a compression garment over treated areas to promote healing. Some results are visible immediately, with final results developing over 3-6 months as skin continues to tighten.
