The BodyTite procedure starts with your surgeon making small incisions in the target area. A local anesthetic is then administered to numb the area. The BodyTite device is then inserted through the incisions, and the radio-frequency energy is delivered to the fat cells. The device also has a cannula that suctions out the liquefied fat. The procedure typically takes between 1-3 hours, depending on the size of the target area.

After the BodyTite procedure, patients can expect some swelling and bruising in the treated area. The surgeon may provide a compression garment to help reduce swelling and provide support. Patients should avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks to allow the body to heal. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within a week after the procedure.
