What is BodyTite?

BodyTite is an energy-assisted liposuction method that includes radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten skin, eliminate fat, and trigger higher levels of natural collagen production without scalpels, incisions, stitches, or scars.

Dr. Basu was one of the first in Texas to offer the new BodyTite PRO technology for a faster, more comfortable, more versatile procedure.

BENEFITS OF BODYTITE IN HOUSTON

BodyTite has important advantages over other types of body sculpting treatments:

• Tightens skin up to 40%, established in clinical studies
• No visible scars
• Requires only local anesthesia or light sedation
• Takes only 15 to 60 minutes for each area treated
• Reduced swelling, bruising, and pain during recovery
• Minimal downtime

WHAT AREAS OF THE BODY CAN BODYTITE TREAT?

A series of Houston BodyTite treatments can melt fat and tighten skin on a range of body areas, including:

• Abdomen
• Arms
• Love handles (flanks)
• Thighs
• Back fat
• Bra fat
• Chest wall

HOW DOES BODYTITE WORK?

BodyTite works by applying thermal energy to melt fat and tighten skin through a dual internal/external approach. While an internal probe delivers intense radiofrequency energy to help melt fat and strengthen the fibrous septae connecting the underlying fascia to the dermis, an external applicator delivers radiofrequency energy to the skin for additional skin tightening.

IS BODYTITE RIGHT FOR ME?

BodyTite is a great option for people who have small to moderate amounts of excess fat in addition to sagging or lax skin. You are a good candidate for BodyTite if you:

• Have a BMI or 40 of less
• Are more than 10-15 lbs. above your ideal weight
• Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
• Are in good health

If you have lost a lot of weight, either through diet and exercise or weight loss surgery, and have a larger quantity of sagging skin, post-weight loss body contouring surgery may be necessary. If you are not interested in a procedure that requires a longer incision or the associated recovery time, BodyTite could be an excellent alternative for you.

The Skinny Shot Weight Loss Program

Achieve your ideal body weight prior to surgery for a safer procedure with the best possible results.

In the past, we would request that patients achieve their ideal weight prior to surgery and come back to Basu Aesthetics once they have done so. This has changed thanks to new advancements in the Semaglutide and Tirezepatide family of medications that have recently become available for patients. We now offer The Skinny Shot semaglutide treatment as part of our comprehensive approach for our patients. The Skinny Shot can help you achieve your ideal body weight prior to surgery for the best possible aesthetic result. In addition, it has been shown that patients with a lower BMI undergoing plastic surgery have a lower risk of complications. Treatment with The Skinny Shot not only improves your results, but it may also make your surgery safer.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AT MY CONSULTATION?

Calling to talk to our empathetic, kind, and experienced patient care coordinators is the first step toward scheduling a consultation, and an in-person consultation with Dr. Basu is the best way to determine if a BodyTite is right for you.

During your initial consultation with Dr. Basu, he will speak with you about your body contouring options in detail, as well as the results you can expect.

Before your consultation, feel free to browse our before and after gallery to see patients’ BodyTite results.

WHAT IS A BODYTITE TREATMENT LIKE?

BodyTite is an outpatient procedure that we do in our private, luxury clinic here in Cypress. Most treatments are completed in an hour or less.

Local anesthesia is administered to the treatment area and you may choose to have additional light sedation to make the experience more comfortable.

A small incision is made for the internal probe to be inserted, which allows the RF energy to work from within and moved through the fatty tissues to melt away the fat while tightening the skin.

WHAT IS RECOVERY LIKE AFTER BODYTITE?

After your Houston BodyTite treatment is complete, you can return home. You’ll wear a compression garment day and night for several days, and then just during the night for about two weeks to assist with healing and reshaping the body area treated.

DOES BODYTITE HURT?

Patients tell us their recovery feels similar to the soreness that occurs after a tough workout. The recovery is far easier to experience than the aftereffects of liposuction – with superior results. Every patient responds differently, but it is normal to expect some swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated area.
