What is BodyTite? 

So, what is BodyTite? It's a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that uses radiofrequency technology to heat tissue beneath the skin. At the same time, a small cannula is inserted and removes fat from the treated area. This gives patients skin tightening and fat reduction in a single session. Treatment is typically done using local anesthesia, so most patients avoid the extended recovery that comes with procedures like a traditional tummy tuck. A session usually takes 1– 2 hours, depending on how many areas are treated. 

Is BodyTite right for you? 

At our office, Dr. Ho typically recommends BodyTite in Plano for patients dealing with the following:  

• Stubborn fat pockets: Areas like the abdomen or flanks may not respond to diet or exercise. BodyTite is a practical option for those who have plateaued despite consistent healthy habits. 
• Mild to moderate loose skin: Skin laxity following weight loss, pregnancy, or aging that isn't severe enough to require a surgical lift. Patients with more significant sagging may need to consider alternative procedures. 
• Interest in skin tightening without invasive surgery: Patients seeking firmer skin can avoid the lengthy recovery associated with a traditional body lift. BodyTite offers a great middle ground between nonsurgical procedures and extended surgery. 
• Good skin elasticity: Patients whose skin retains enough elasticity tend to respond more favorably to the treatment. This is one of the key factors Dr. Ho evaluates during a consultation. 
• Realistic expectations: Patients should understand that results from BodyTite are meaningful but gradual. Those looking for immediate or dramatic transformation may be better suited to other options. 

During a consultation, Dr. Ho will evaluate your skin quality and goals to determine whether radiofrequency technology is the right fit for your body contouring needs. 

How long does BodyTite last? 

So, how long does BodyTite last? Many patients see their improved shape hold for 1 – 3 years or longer, especially for those who maintain a stable weight. Stubborn fat cells removed during treatment don't return, though remaining fat cells can still grow if you gain weight. Keeping a consistent exercise routine and diet is the simplest way to protect your results. Most patients see their full outcome within 3 – 6 months of treatment.
