BodyTite RFAL vs. Liposuction Missouri

The benefits of liposuction have increased over the years as technology continues to improve. State-of-the-art technology has been utilized for incredible procedures such as BodyTite, a radiofrequency assisted liposuction procedure. This minimally invasive procedure has been approved by the FDA since 2016, ensuring thousands of patients’ safety. Here is how BodyTite compares to standard liposuction Missouri procedures that are currently available.

BodyTite RFAL

BodyTite uses radiofrequency energy to “melt” fat tissue before it is safely removed via suction. This procedure has gaining in popularity over the years due to its unique results that cannot be achieved through other liposuction procedures. Only a small incision is needed for the suction to safely removed fat tissue from the body. This incision will heal within a week and be virtually unnoticeable to the naked eye. Not only does this incredible procedure help remove fat tissue, it also promotes collagen renewal in the body, resulting in tighter skin.

Recovery time for BodyTite is much shorter than other liposuction Missouri procedures, with recommendations to hold off on strenuous activity for a week. BodyTite is the perfect procedure for those looking to lose weight and tighten their skin. Candidates who have a significant amount of sagging skin are not recommended to receive BodyTite and can be best treated with other procedures. Many cosmetic physicians are trained in this procedure, but only our staff has the experience and training to provide top results and keep you safe.

Standard Liposuction Missouri

For those looking to remove larger quantities of fat tissue, a standard liposuction procedure may be best for you. While these procedures are recommended less today, they can benefit those who have larger treatment areas. Standard liposuction procedures leave larger scar tissue due to the requirement of a larger incision. This procedure requires several weeks for recovery and the use of compression garments. Ideal candidates for standard liposuction procedures are those who are looking to remove a large quantity of fat tissue and those who have sagging skin.

Need Both? Combine the 2 Procedures

If you need to remove a lot of fat and also need the maximum amount of skin tightening that you can get without an open-surgery and a large scar, you can combine BodyTite with more tumescent liposuction.  The combined liposuction plus BodyTite results in tightened skin up to 2/3 of the skin tightening you can get with an open-surgery like a tummy tuck or thigh lift plus the removal of a good deal more of fat from the treated area.  Combining BodyTite with Tumescent liposuction is now one of the most popular treatments because it gives you maximum fat removal and maximum skin tightening without a large scar.
