BodyTite™

BodyTite (BodyTite™) is a groundbreaking body sculpting treatment that combines minimally invasive liposuction and skin tightening technology to shape areas like the breasts, arms, abdomen, inner thighs, and more. ⁽¹⁾

As the demand for minimally invasive body contouring grows, many patients are seeking ways to achieve smoother, tighter, and more defined body contours without the extensive recovery of traditional surgery. BodyTite is one of the most advanced technologies available today for achieving a stunning transformation! It uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to tighten skin and reduce fat simultaneously, helping patients achieve natural-looking, sculpted results with very little downtime. ⁽²⁾

Dr. Elie Levine carefully guides the BodyTite device to target localized fat deposits and lax skin on areas such as the:

What Makes BodyTite Different?

Unlike traditional liposuction or non-invasive skin tightening treatments, BodyTite delivers controlled radiofrequency energy both beneath and above the skin, resulting in superior skin contraction, smoother contours, and more refined results.

About BodyTite

BodyTite is one of Dr. Elie Levine’s favorite procedures because of the exceptional results it can provide without requiring more extensive surgery or a lengthy recovery. BodyTite bridges the gap between non-surgical procedures and traditional liposuction. It utilizes a small, specialized probe that delivers radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to liquefy fat and contract skin. This radiofrequency energy is absorbed as heat, which tightens collagen fibers and stimulates new collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother skin over time. ⁽³⁾ It also allows for tissue contraction. The skin-tightening effects can continue for up to two years.

The device works internally and externally, allowing Dr. Elie Levine to sculpt the body from within while simultaneously tightening the overlying skin.

Patients who undergo BodyTite can expect noticeable improvements in body contour, tone, and texture. Unlike traditional surgery, BodyTite requires only small incisions, which means faster healing, minimal scarring, and less post-procedure discomfort.

BodyTite After Weight Loss

This treatment has become increasingly popular alongside the rise of GLP-1 medications. Many patients on medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide may notice stubborn remaining pockets of fat they wish to address. Additionally, patients who have lost a significant amount of weight often experience loose or sagging skin, making many GLP-1 patients suitable for BodyTite.

Preparation

Preparing for BodyTite is typically straightforward. Dr. Elie Levine will provide detailed pre-treatment instructions to ensure your safety and help you achieve the best possible results. These steps may include:

Following these instructions will help you experience a smooth procedure and optimize your recovery.

Procedure

Dr. Elie Levine performs BodyTite using advanced RFAL technology to deliver dual-action results: targeted fat reduction and skin tightening. On the day of your procedure, you will receive anesthesia for your comfort. The type of anesthesia you receive depends on your preference and medical history; options include local, twilight, or general anesthesia. Once you are relaxed, Dr. Elie Levine will make a small incision near the treatment area, then insert a thin probe beneath the skin while a matching external electrode glides above the surface.

The internal probe emits controlled radiofrequency energy that liquefies fat while the external electrode monitors temperature to ensure safety and consistency. As the device moves across the targeted area, the radiofrequency energy contracts collagen fibers and stimulates new collagen formation, resulting in firmer, smoother, and tighter skin. Depending on the number of areas being treated, BodyTite procedures typically take one to three hours. Dr. Elie Levine’s precise control of the technology allows for symmetrical results with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues. Once the procedure is complete, you will receive small protective dressings to cover the incision sites and can return home the same day—none of Dr. Elie Levine’s procedures require an overnight stay.

Revision Procedures

In addition to primary treatments, Dr. Elie Levine frequently uses BodyTite for all types of liposuction revision procedures. His advanced technique allows him to refine and smooth irregularities from prior liposuction, restore natural contours, and enhance skin tone and elasticity in areas where traditional revision methods fall short. He is consulted often and revises others’ work with BodyTite regularly.

Results

You will begin to notice visible improvements soon after your BodyTite treatment, with continued enhancement over the following weeks as swelling subsides and collagen production increases. Your skin will appear firmer and more toned, and the treated areas will look more sculpted and defined.

Most patients achieve their optimal results within three to six months as new collagen continues to develop. The results are long-lasting, especially when paired with a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Elie Levine will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure that your results align with your expectations. By combining his technical mastery with an artistic eye for proportion, Dr. Elie Levine delivers outcomes that look smooth, natural, and balanced.

Recovery

For most patients, the recovery period after BodyTite is typically short and manageable. Patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness for a few days, similar to the feeling after an intense workout. Most individuals can resume light daily activities within one or two days and return to work within a few days, depending on the treatment area.

Dr. Elie Levine will provide detailed post-procedure instructions to help you recover comfortably and maintain your results. While you should avoid strenuous activity for about one week, many patients find the downtime significantly shorter than that of traditional liposuction or excisional procedures. Over the next several months, your skin will continue to tighten as collagen remodeling occurs, giving you progressively smoother and more refined contours.

Corresponding and Combination Procedures

To achieve more complete, comprehensive results, many patients combine BodyTite with other treatments, which may include:

Liposuction

BodyTite can be performed alongside traditional liposuction to enhance skin tightening and further refine body contours for a smoother, more sculpted outcome.

BBL

When paired with a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), BodyTite helps contour surrounding areas like the flanks or lower back, creating enhanced definition and emphasizing the lifted, natural curves of the buttocks.

Avéli® Cellulite Treatment

Combining BodyTite with Aveli allows patients to simultaneously address stubborn cellulite dimples and skin laxity, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more even-looking skin.

FaceTite™

As a perfect complement to BodyTite™, FaceTite™ utilizes the same advanced RFAL technology to address smaller, more delicate areas of the face and neck.

EMSculpt®

EMSculpt is an innovative treatment that tightens and sculpts areas such as the abdomen or buttocks by mimicking the effects of exercise, and can be a great addition to BodyTite treatments.

Laser and Cellulaze™

For patients suffering from cellulite, NYC Lipo offers innovative laser cellulite treatments using Cellulaze. This treatment addresses the fibrous tissue bands under the skin to improve the appearance of cellulite dimpling while tightening the skin for a rejuvenated appearance.

Mommy Makeover

Many patients choose to include BodyTite during their mommy makeover to tighten and contour areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms after pregnancy. It enhances the results of a mommy makeover by addressing skin laxity and improving overall tone.

Menopause Makeover

Menopause can bring on a variety of cosmetic concerns for women. Dr. Elie Levine offers menopause makeover treatments that combine several cosmetic treatments to help women restore a youthful look on the outside that reflects how they feel on the inside.

Tummy Tuck

When combined with a tummy tuck, BodyTite refines and sculpts surrounding areas for a smoother, more cohesive midsection. This approach enhances the definition of the waistline and ensures a tighter appearance.

Breast Augmentation

BodyTite is often paired with breast augmentation to fine-tune the contour of the chest and torso, helping create a balanced and youthful-looking aesthetic.

Breast Reduction

For patients undergoing breast reduction, BodyTite can help tighten adjacent skin and smooth surrounding areas for a more sculpted, lifted appearance that amplifies final results.
