BodyTite is a groundbreaking body contouring procedure that combines the benefits of radiofrequency therapy and liposuction. It’s a surgical procedure that simultaneously removes unwanted fat tissues and tightens the remaining skin of the treated area.
Patients can opt for BodyTite to eliminate unwanted fat from the abdomen, love handles, thighs, knees, arms, etc., without extended downtime. Bay Area Aesthetic Surgery is led by board-certified surgeons who specialize in personalized BodyTite treatments in San Francisco.
What is BodyTite?
BodyTite is a minimally-invasive and surgical radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) procedure. It simultaneously reduces fat deposits and subcutaneous thickness and tightens the remaining sagging skin tissues, giving you a taut, firm, and sculpted appearance.
Unlike traditional liposuction, BodyTite doesn’t leave you with sagging skin. As a minimally invasive procedure, BodyTite concludes quickly and involves minimal downtime — most patients can resume daily activities within 48 hours.
BodyTite treats:
- Unwanted fat tissues
- Sagging skin tissues
- Moderate skin laxity
- Wrinkles and fine lines
BodyTite treatment areas include:
- Arms
- Chest
- Back
- Love Handles
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Knees
- Other areas with unwanted fat
How does BodyTite work?
BodyTite is an advanced body contouring procedure based on the principles of radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL). Radiofrequency energy is channeled into the unwanted fat pockets to liquify them. The unwanted fat tissues are suctioned out of the body via cannulas or blunt tubes. The radiofrequency energy also encourages your body to produce new collagen fibers, i.e., the skin’s primary structural components. As your skin’s collagen reserves are restored, your skin tissues appear firm, taut, and youthful.

Am I the right candidate for BodyTite?
BodyTite is suitable for all individuals, irrespective of skin and body type. If you have unwanted pockets of fat or excess skin tissues, you can opt for BodyTite to achieve a sculpted silhouette. However, you should be in generally good physical and mental health, and you may have to stop taking certain medications before the treatment. Our cosmetic providers will carefully review your medical history and discuss your goals to determine if you’re suitable for BodyTite in our San Francisco office.
How do I move forward with BodyTite?
If you’d like to move forward with your BodyTite, please schedule a consultation with the exceptional providers and surgeons at Bay Area Aesthetic Surgery. Our board-certified specialists will examine your treatment areas, discuss your goals, review your medical history, and curate the ideal minimally invasive treatment plan. They’ll also provide some preparatory guidelines. For example, you’ll have to stop smoking and avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications a few weeks before the treatment.
Where does the procedure take place?
Your BodyTite procedure takes place at our AAAASF-accredited San Mateo office under local anesthesia. Our office is equipped with the latest cutting-edge technologies and led by an exceptionally talented team of cosmetic surgeons and staff. We ensure you have a safe, comfortable, and effective procedure without complications or extended downtime.
What can I expect during BodyTite?
During the BodyTite procedure, the board-certified surgeon will deliver local anesthesia and epinephrine into the targeted areas. The anesthesia ensures comfort, and the epinephrine decreases bleeding. The BodyTite device consists of two probs — one goes under the skin in the targeted area via an incision, and the other goes over the skin. The BodyTite device is activated to generate radiofrequency energy, and the probes are moved back and forth over the treatment area. Once the fat tissues are liquified, a separate tube suctions away the liquified fat cells. Meanwhile, the radiofrequency energy also activates collagen production to gradually tighten the skin tissues.
What can I expect after BodyTite?
You’ll experience mild swelling and bruising after the BodyTite procedure, and you’ll have to wear a compression garment for a few weeks. However, you can resume most of your daily activities and work within a few days; some patients can resume work within 48 hours with some activity restrictions in place.
What kind of results can I expect?
The fat reduction results are instantly visible because the unwanted fat cells are liquified and removed from the body. However, the skin tightening results appear gradually over several weeks or months as your body produces new skin cells. The results start appearing within 2 weeks, but the fine results appear after 3 to 6 months. Most patients experience around 47% skin contraction.
