Candidates
The perfect candidate for a BodyTite procedure is a man or woman in Englewood who is regularly at a healthy weight, active, and experiencing annoying excess fat and loose, hanging skin. This could include someone who has recently gone through the arduous process of losing a significant amount of weight; or perhaps someone who was pregnant and now has remaining fat and sagging belly skin post-pregnancy. This is NOT a weight loss solution, and weight loss should occur prior to the operation. After the procedure, you should be willing and able to keep at or below the weight you were during the procedure. If any weight is gained after the procedure then complications may occur and diminish the results accomplished from the BodyTite. If you believe you are a perfect candidate please contact us to schedule a private, initial consultation. We would love to hear from you and learn about your aesthetic dreams and goals for your physique.
Personal Consultation
After scheduling a consultation, you will be escorted to your own private consultation room. Here, our expertly trained nurses will consult with you about your medical and surgical history. They will listen to your story and learn more about your aesthetic goals while noting what services best suit your dream physique. This part of your journey is crucial as it gives us a better understanding as to what you want from this process. We will inspect the areas of your body you feel need to be targeted with BodyTite.
Your satisfaction and safety are paramount to us and our success resides in you being confident and happy with the results.
At the end of your consultation, you will be given a detailed plan about what services are recommended in providing you with the physique you desire.
Preparation
As is customary for all surgical procedures, you will be given a list of detailed instructions on how to prepare for your BodyTite procedure in Englewood. This may include:
Procedure
After administering anesthesia, Dr. Abramson will find the target areas that were previously decided on in your consultation. There he will make tiny incisions. The BodyTite device has two probes – one will be inserted into the incision and the other will run across the outside of the skin. Radio frequency waves will generate heat that will cause the fatty tissue to heat up and contract, breaking down only the fat cells in the target area and not the neighboring skin or other tissue. They will be heated up to the point of liquefaction. When fat cells are heated up to such a high temperature they experience cell death and will be excreted out of the body over the following few weeks through the body’s natural excretion processes. If liposuction is included in your procedure they will be removed through a metal suction tube, called a cannula. Then, Dr. Abramson will stitch up the small incision, resulting in a very minimal, almost imperceptible scar.
Recovery
As this is a minimally invasive procedure, the recovery time is less than if it were a more invasive one. But it is still imperative to focus on rest and recovery. A timeline for recovery is:
1-2 WEEKS
Stay away from any and all highly strenuous activities. You may have bruising and swelling around the impacted area – this is completely normal. Your skin might feel sore and tender. This is also completely normal. While sleeping, avoid laying on the impacted area as this may damage the stitches and disrupt the work that has been done.
4-6 WEEKS
By this time most of the swelling and bruising should have partially subsided. It may not be completely healed. At this time returning to strenuous activities such as yoga, running, and weight training is permissible.
7-12 WEEKS
At this point, you will start to really notice the changes in your body. The swelling should have subsided almost entirely and the contours in the area should be more in line with the plan we decided on in your consultation.
Results
One morning, about 3 months after the procedure, you wake up and you catch a glimpse of yourself in the bathroom mirror. You pause. But it is not a dream. There you are in your bathroom with your body looking smooth and radiant. The skin has finally healed and the bruises and the swelling have completely vanished now. Your body looks sculpted and toned. The places where rolls of fat and saggy skin once hung from your body now look tight, firm, and muscular.
Corresponding & Complementary Procedures
BodyTite alone can help eradicate many mild to moderate pockets of fatty tissue. However, when complemented with other services in Englewood the effects of BodyTite can be greatly enhanced. We also offer a range of body contouring procedures for patients who have completed a weight loss journey through bariatric surgery. During your consultation, we will determine if the tightening technology of BodyTite is right for you or if a more involved approach like a tummy tuck or post-bariatric contouring is better suited for you.
LIPOSUCTION
When paired with BodyTite, liposuction is a game changer. BodyTite helps ease the aspiration of fat through liposuction resulting in a more efficient, quicker removal of fat cells than with just liposuction alone. By heating up the fat cells to the point of liquefaction, BodyTite plus liposuction gives the patient smoother results in the same amount of time.
TUMMY TUCK
A tummy tuck is a procedure where loose hanging skin is removed and the remaining skin is pulled down tight over the abdomen resulting in a firmer, smoother presenting stomach. This is often used to help affirm and strengthen weak abdominal muscles and to rid the body of excess skin and fat cells. Paired with BodyTite, like with liposuction, this duo can result in a more optimized procedure that extracts fat tissue more efficiently than with just a tummy tuck alone.
