How Long Does it Take to Recover From a BodyTite Liposuction?

Unlike a traditional liposuction procedure, BodyTite, a minimally invasive procedure, offers a swift recovery phase. Patients typically resume normal activities within a week.

How Long Does a BodyTite Liposuction Take?

Depending upon the BMI and size of the patient, on average, BodyTite Lipo takes approximately 45-60 minutes to perform 1-2 zones.

What is a BodyTite Liposuction?

BodyTite Liposuction is a minimally invasive medical procedure that targets and eliminates localized collections of unwanted fat and sagging skin. Utilizing advanced radiofrequency technology, BodyTite employs a small internal electrode to release radiofrequency energy. This energy not only heats and coagulates the fat, gently liquefying it, but also promotes skin tightening by contracting tissues and sealing small vessels.

Once the fat is liquefied, it’s removed with a small aspirating cannula. The result is a significantly improved body contour and skin quality, with the potential for up to 40% overall soft tissue contraction.

Who is a BodyTite Liposuction Candidate?

There is no age restriction for a BodyTite lipo procedure, but the ideal age range is 18-65. A “good” BodyTite lipo candidate is also medically well and has realistic expectations.

• Proper Physical Health: Good health and a lack of serious medical conditions are vital for a proper recovery following a BodyTite procedure.
• Realistic Body Contouring Expectations: As is the case with most cosmetic procedures, good BodyTite candidates have realistic expectations concerning the risks and benefits of the surgery.

4 Benefits of a BodyTite Liposuction

Confidence Boost

By removing excess fat and transforming a patient’s physical appearance, a BodyTite procedure will boost self-confidence and self-worth.

Improved Contours

By targeting localized fat pockets in the body that detract from contour, the Toronto Plastic Surgeons can significantly improve a patient’s overall body shape.

 A Healthier Lifestyle

As it is not recommended that patients gain more than 5-10 pounds after their BodyTite procedure, the treatment serves as a strong motivating factor to ensure that they adopt a healthier lifestyle.

Lasting Results

The results of a BodyTite liposuction are designed to be permanent, providing that patients carefully follow their post-operative instructions.

Risks of a BodyTite Liposuction

Like every surgery, a BodyTite procedure comes with a small chance of potential complications. The best thing patients can do to minimize the likelihood of complications is to select a trusted surgeon. The team at the Toronto Plastic Surgeons has years of experience performing BodyTite liposuction procedures. Significant complications are uncommon and, in the rare event they occur are expertly managed.

• Infections: Even though infections are rare, the Toronto Plastic Surgeons still take every precaution to ensure that the procedure is a smooth, seamless experience. Preventative antibiotics are provided.
• Change in Sensation: Numbness and tingling on the fat extraction area should only be temporary.
• Unexpected Bruising:  Sometimes, the procedure can result in unexpected bruising. Regardless, even unexpected bruising will subside after a few weeks.
• Swelling: A tight-fitting compression garment will be able to significantly reduce any swelling caused by the procedure.

How to Prepare for the Procedure?

To ensure a successful surgery, the doctor will advise that you follow certain preparations in the weeks leading up to your procedure date:

• Smoking should be discontinued two weeks leading up to the procedure and two weeks after. Those who continue to smoke will have a longer recovery period and a greater likelihood of complications.
• Two weeks before your procedure, patients must cease taking Aspirin or any medication that contains Aspirin.
• Six hours prior to surgery, patients must stop consuming any food or drink. Small sips of water are permitted, however.
• Avoid sun damage two weeks before surgery. This can be achieved by wearing sunscreen.

How is a BodyTite Liposuction Performed by Dr. Bell?

All BodyTite procedures are performed within the comfort of the modern Toronto Plastic Surgeons Surgical suites. The surgery is entirely personalized and specifically designed by our expert team to match your desired results.

Prior to your surgery, a physician will administer anesthesia to ensure that the procedure is completely painless. During the procedure, radiofrequency energy will heat and melt the unwanted fat, sealing off vessels and causing the soft tissue to contract. Then, your BodyTite Liposuction surgeon will remove the liquified fat with a small aspirating cannula. Finally, the targeted area will be properly shaped to ensure excellent body contour.

What to Expect After a BodyTite Lipo

After local anesthesia, we recommend that you do not drive for 2 weeks. While the procedure does not generally result in significant bruising or pain, there will be some swelling, which will be contained by a compression garment.

Following your procedure, Dr. Bell and his team in Toronto will recommend a comprehensive postoperative care regime. This regime will include instructions about the importance of avoiding physical activity, abstaining from alcohol and smoking, and minimizing exposure to the sun.

BodyTite Lipo Recovery & Timeline

• After the Surgery: Following the surgery, the patient will go home with a compression garment designed to reduce swelling. Generally, these garments are worn 22 hours a day for 6 weeks and 12 hours a day for another 6 weeks.
• One Day After the Surgery: Patients may return to very light, sedentary work or non-work-related activities.
• One Week After Surgery: Patients can return to low-impact activities.
• Three Weeks After Surgery: The compression garments can now be worn for support during the day and removed in the evening and overnight.
• One Month After Surgery: Patients can return to high-impact activities such as jogging, running, and weight training.

BodyTite Liposuction FAQs

How Painful Is It to Get a BodyTite Lipo Procedure?

At SpaMedica, the actual BodyTite lipo is performed under local anesthesia that will be placed into the fat prior to the procedure, making the BodyTite procedure very comfortable. While there may be swelling and discomfort afterwards, there will be no extreme or long-term pain. Interestingly, BodyTite Lipo has been proven to cause far less discomfort than traditional liposuction procedures.

How is BodyTite Lipo Different from Traditional Liposuction?

Unlike a traditional liposuction procedure, BodyTite lipo uses thermal Radiofrequency energy to liquefy fat, tighten soft tissue and skin and decrease bruising when compared to traditional liposuction. In addition to a better result, BodyTite lipo has less bruising, swelling and pain.

What are the Side Effects of BodyTite Lipo?

There are very few side effects related to BodyTite lipo. There is a small risk of a small skin burn, but your experienced team at SpaMedica will ensure that all side effects are kept to a minimum.

Will I need to have Multiple Procedures?

No, you will not need multiple procedures, as the removed fat will not return. The results of a BodyTite lipo procedure will last for the rest of your life if you can stay within 5 to 10 pounds of your weight following the procedure.

How is the fat actually removed?

After the BodyTite lipo, a small suction cannula is used to aspirate out the soft, emulsified, liquified fat gently. This cannula can be power-assisted (PAL, microaire) or mechanical.

BodyTite Liposuction Testimonials

“Testimonial 1: I have been self-conscious about my arms for as long as I can remember – always going to great lengths to cover them up. In my early 30s, otherwise fit and healthy, I decided that enough was enough and to do something about it to boost my confidence. After researching my options a great deal and speaking with a number of doctors, I concluded that a minimally invasive BodyTite lipo procedure was the way to go. The staff at SpaMedica made me feel very comfortable and took the time to really explain my options and the procedure. They were happy to answer my barrage of questions and even share with me their own experiences. It’s a day after my procedure and aside from mild pain and some leakage, I feel just fine. I was awake for the entire procedure – while sedated of course – and Dr. Mulholland and the nurses made me feel comfortable in the OR by explaining what they were doing throughout and consistently making sure I was feeling OK. I was discharged shortly after and have been resting comfortably at home ever since. I’m very excited to see the full results in the weeks to come! Thanks to the SpaMedica team for making this process as painless as possible.” – RealSelf.
