What is BodyTite?
BodyTite is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that can produce transformative results without extensive downtime or scarring. It uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology to liquefy fat, tighten skin, and coagulate blood vessels for reduced bruising. Using a tiny incision and specialized handpiece with both internal and external sensors, this technique generates gentle heat for complete treatment of the area. The result is firmer, more contoured skin and a reduction in stubborn fat for overall improvement in your favorite areas.
BodyTite Candidates
Patients who can benefit most from BodyTite are those who are looking to enhance their body profile and contours. Patients who are already undergoing liposuction to get rid of fatty bulges and have compromised skin tone are excellent candidates for BodyTite to enhance skin contraction. To get the best results out of BodyTite, it’s important that your skin has sufficient elasticity and firmness so that it will respond to treatment. If it’s too loose or stretched, you may need to consider a surgical procedure to remove the excess loose skin. As with any procedure, you should be near your ideal body weight, in good health overall, and have a stable weight that won’t fluctuate in the future. This means you should establish healthy habits beforehand so that you can maintain your great results with an effective diet and exercise regimen.
What Happens During BodyTite?
BodyTite can be performed with a local tumescent anesthetic at our certified, on-site facility. Tumescent anesthesia combines local anesthesia with epinephrine to reduce bleeding and lidocaine to numb the area. Once the tumescent solution is injected into the treatment area, the specialized handpiece is inserted through a tiny incision. This handpiece allows for close monitoring of the generated heat so that you get precise treatment. After melting the fat and heating the connective tissue structures in the skin, the area is then contoured with liposuction sculpting techniques. Once your ideal results are achieved, the area is made ready for recovery and you can return home.
Results and Recovery
You should expect to give yourself a few days away from work and strenuous activities, but your recovery period will be drastically less than a liposuction procedure. You’ll be fitted with a compression garment for your treatment area which you should wear according to Dr. Diktaban’s instructions. You can expect some swelling and discomfort which can be managed with prescribed medications. Swelling can take a few weeks or more to fully subside, but your results will gradually emerge. Since BodyTite only requires a tiny incision, there is virtually no visible scarring. Most patients require only a single treatment with BodyTite for toned, refined contours and a reduction in stubborn fat.

Cocktail anesthesia is Dr. Diktaban’s preferred tool for ensuring your procedure is relaxing and low-risk. Dr. Diktaban has used cocktail anesthesia for surgical procedures for over 10 years with resounding success. Patients are safe and comfortable during the entire procedure. It is predictable and consistent for men and women of all ages. There are no IVs or any tubes down your nose or throat. Patients describe the experience as “floating comfortably”. Patients are even allowed and instructed to have a light breakfast before coming to the office for their procedure. The cocktail anesthesia entails the ingestion of a few pills followed by two medicine injections into the arm. One big advantage with cocktail anesthesia is that during body contouring procedures, the patients are able to turn their body into different positions that enables Dr. Diktaban to sculpt their bodies in an enhanced manner. The following list of procedures can be performed under cocktail anesthesia: browlifts, facelifts, eyelid lifts, necklifts, liposuction, BBLs (buttock enlargement), fat transfer to the breasts, breast lifts, FaceTite, AccuTite, and BodyTite.
