Dr. Robert Whitfield explains BodyTite, a radiofrequency tool that works through liposuction incisions. It can tighten skin in treated areas, but it cannot replace surgical excision when that's needed. He weighs patient anatomy, skin quality, and recovery time before deciding if it's right for each case.
BodyTite is a minimally invasive radiofrequency-assisted option used in the same areas where I take the fat out of through the same opening. I can treat those areas with BodyTite, which is bipolar radiofrequency. So anatomy, skin quality, donor sites, treatment overlap, the procedure length, of course, risks, recovery, patient preference, and obviously whatever they choose after giving consent is really how we develop our plans. Technology themselves don't substitute for skin excision. Don't ever think that. If the patient is better served that way, we'll always let them know, especially in any of the areas we work on.
