It has been officially 5 week since my tummy tuck and breast lift. After losing 150lbs I knew I needed this done but never thought it would be possible. After meeting with Dr. Downs and his team my dreams started to seem like reality. Five weeks ago we completed 1 of my 2 suggested surgery’s. My recovery so far has been extremely easy with little to no pain. Dr. Downs has been just the best. He took his time and explained every part of my surgery and what I could expect. It was a pleasant surprise to wake up from surgery and find out he didn’t have to make the vertical incision down my stomach due to all the my weight loss, and lose skin. I’m so happy Dr. Downs is who I decided to go to for this surgery. Can’t wait for him to complete my project.
What Is BodyTite?
BodyTite is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive body-contouring procedure that combines traditional liposuction techniques with radiofrequency energy. This advanced technology not only removes unwanted fat but also heats the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling, tightening and firming the skin over time. The procedure is ideal for individuals seeking a comprehensive solution to both fat and skin laxity in areas like the abdomen, arms, thighs, and more.
Benefits of BodyTite
BodyTite offers numerous advantages, including:
- Tightened Skin: Stimulates collagen for smoother, firmer skin.
- Fat Reduction: Targets and melts stubborn fat deposits.
- Minimally Invasive: Less recovery time and smaller incisions compared to traditional surgeries.
- Precise Contouring: Provides natural-looking, seamless results.
- Short Downtime: Patients often resume routine activities within days.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BodyTite?
You may be a good candidate for BodyTite if you:
- Are in good overall health
- Have localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
- Experience mild to moderate skin laxity
- Have realistic expectations and aesthetic goals
BodyTite is not a weight-loss solution but a contouring procedure designed to refine and sculpt your figure.
The BodyTite Procedure Process
BodyTite procedures are performed in our state-of-the-art facility. Here’s what you can expect:
Consultation
Your plastic surgeon will evaluate your goals and determine the best approach.
Preparation
The treatment area is numbed, and general anesthesia is used for larger areas.
Treatment
A small incision is made, and the BodyTite device delivers radiofrequency energy to liquefy fat and tighten the skin.
Extraction
Melted fat is gently removed using a thin cannula.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from BodyTite is quick and manageable.
- Most patients return to work and light activities within 1-2 days
- A compression garment is worn for 4 weeks to minimize swelling and promote healing
- Strenuous activities and exercise can typically resume after 4 weeks
Our surgeon will provide a detailed aftercare plan to ensure optimal results and support your recovery.
Results of BodyTite
Patients often notice immediate improvements after treatment, with optimal results appearing over 3-6 months and then up to a year as collagen remodeling continues. BodyTite delivers smooth, natural-looking contours and tighter skin, helping you feel more confident in your appearance.
Risks and Considerations
While BodyTite is safe and effective, it’s important to consider potential risks, such as:
- Temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort
- Minimal scarring at the incision sites
- Rare complications, which your surgeon will discuss during your consultation
Our experienced, board-certified surgeons prioritize your safety and satisfaction.
What Areas Can BodyTite Treat?
BodyTite is versatile and can address common problem areas, including:
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Flanks
- Chin/Neck
- Back/Bra Roll
- Thighs

Dr. Macias and her staff helped make this very personal decision easy and comfortable. They took the time to listen and answered all my questions. I was very nervous about having breast surgery but after it was done I was so happy with the results. She truly nailed it. I would highly recommend Dr. Macias to anyone considering any cosmetic surgery.
I received a rhinoplasty from Dr. Macias and my nose is PERFECT. 😍
I enjoyed my whole experience but here are a few specific highlights that stuck out:
- The staff is kind, informative, and responds quickly.
- I loved the simulation they used to show desired results.
- The staff the day of surgery was fun and helped me with my nerves.
- From the little shopping I did, their prices were the best (sometimes by far!).
The medspa staff are always friendly and welcoming. Kellee has the LIGHTEST touch with an injection needle and always does a great job!
