The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or IV sedation and normally takes less than 2 hours. Recovery time can vary, but most patients are able to return to their normal activities within a few days.

What Happens During A BodyTite Procedure?

During a BodyTite procedure, the surgeon will make small incisions in the treatment area and insert a cannula. The is a thin tube with a radiofrequency energy-emitting device at the end. The cannula is used to heat the underlying tissue which causes the collagen fibres to contract. This tightens the skin and reduces the appearance of cellulite. The surgeon will then use the cannula to out small amounts of excess fat.

After the procedure, the incisions will be closed with sutures, and the patient will be helped into a compression garment. The compression garment helps to reduce swelling and promotes healing.

Why BodyTite is better than CoolSculpting

Both BodyTite and CoolSculpting are considered safe and effective cosmetic procedures for reducing fat and tightening the skin in areas of the body. However, there are some differences between the two methods that may make one or the other a better option for certain patients.

CoolSculpting is typically recommended for patients with stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. The procedure is performed without anaesthesia, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after. However, the final results may not be visible for several weeks or months.

BodyTite is typically performed under local anaesthesia or IV sedation, and it is typically recommended for patients with loose or saggy skin. The procedure can remove small amounts of excess fat and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Both procedures have their own benefits and drawbacks, although here at the Centre for Surgery, we recommend BodyTite for its ability to reduce fat and tighten skin simultaneously.
