BodyTite
A brow lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is performed to raise and reshape the eyebrows by removing excess skin and tightening the muscles in the forehead area.
BodyTite
BodyTite is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten and contour the body. The technology involves a small cannula, or tube, that is inserted into the skin through a small incision. The cannula delivers RF energy to the targeted area, which heats the tissue and causes it to contract and tighten.
BodyTite can be used to treat a variety of areas on the body, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, and neck. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes one to two hours to complete, depending on the extent of the treatment area.
The benefits of BodyTite include minimal scarring, reduced downtime, and less discomfort compared to traditional surgical procedures. Additionally, it can provide noticeable results with just one treatment session, although some patients may require additional treatments to achieve their desired outcome.
The Ideal Candidate
BodyTite is best suited for individuals who are close to their ideal body weight and have areas of stubborn fat or loose skin that have not responded to diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss procedure, and it is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.
Typically, good candidates for BodyTite are individuals who are in good health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations for the results of the procedure. They should also have good skin elasticity, which will help to ensure that the skin tightens effectively after the treatment.
​
It is important to note that BodyTite may not be suitable for individuals who have certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, or autoimmune disorders. Additionally, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not undergo the procedure.
Types and Techniques
There are several different techniques that can be used for a brow lift, including:
​
-
Endoscopic brow lift: This minimally invasive technique involves making small incisions in the scalp and inserting a tiny camera and surgical instruments to lift the forehead and eyebrows.
-
Open brow lift: This technique involves making a long incision across the forehead, typically just behind the hairline, to lift the forehead and eyebrows.
-
Temporal brow lift: This technique involves making small incisions at the temples to lift the outer portion of the eyebrows.
-
Direct brow lift: This technique involves making an incision directly above the eyebrow to lift the brow.
-
Mid-forehead brow lift: This technique involves making an incision in the middle of the forehead to lift the brows and smooth out wrinkles.
​
The choice of technique will depend on several factors, including the patient's individual anatomy and the extent of the brow sagging.
Downtime
The downtime after a BodyTite procedure is relatively minimal compared to traditional surgical procedures. Most patients can expect to return to their normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure.
Immediately after the treatment, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area. Your practitioner may provide you with pain medication or recommend over-the-counter pain relievers to manage any discomfort.
You will need to wear a compression garment in the treated area for several weeks to help reduce swelling and promote healing. You may also be advised to avoid strenuous physical activity and to refrain from soaking in a bath or swimming pool for a few days after the procedure.
Combination Treatments
BodyTite combined with Liposuction
BodyTite can be combined with liposuction to achieve more comprehensive and effective results. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the body, while BodyTite uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and contour the skin.
When these two procedures are combined, the liposuction removes the excess fat from the targeted area, and the BodyTite treatment helps to tighten and contour the skin in that area, providing a more toned and sculpted appearance.
Combining BodyTite with liposuction can provide more dramatic results than either treatment alone. However, it is important to discuss your goals and expectations with your practitioner and to ensure that the combination of treatments is safe and appropriate for your individual needs.
The recovery time after a combination of BodyTite and liposuction will depend on the extent of the treatment and the individual's healing process. Generally, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area for the first few days after the procedure.
BodyTite combined with Morpheus8 Body
BodyTite can be combined with Morpheus8 body treatments to further enhance the results. Morpheus8 is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy and microneedling to improve the texture and appearance of the skin.
When combined with BodyTite, Morpheus8 can help to further tighten and contour the skin in the treated area, providing a more sculpted and toned appearance.
The combination of BodyTite and Morpheus8 can be particularly effective for individuals who have both excess fat and loose skin in the treated area. BodyTite removes the excess fat, while Morpheus8 helps to tighten and smooth the skin, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
BodyTite with both Liposuction and Morpheus 8
BodyTite can be combined with liposuction and Morpheus8 to provide a more comprehensive and effective body contouring solution.
Liposuction can remove excess fat from the treated area, BodyTite can tighten and contour the skin, and Morpheus8 can improve skin texture and further tighten the skin.
When these three treatments are combined, they can address multiple concerns and provide a more dramatic transformation in the treated area.
Alternative Treatments
-
BTL Vanquish ME: This is a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat and destroy fat cells in the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The treatment involves a series of 6 sessions during which the patient lies under the BTL Vanquish device, which emits radiofrequency energy to the targeted area. The heat destroys the fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated from the body over time. BTL Vanquish ME is painless and has no downtime.
-
Exilis: This is another non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat and destroy fat cells and tighten the skin. The Exilis device is applied to the targeted area, and the radiofrequency energy is delivered through a handheld applicator. The heat destroys the fat cells and stimulates collagen production, which can improve skin laxity and texture. Exilis is typically used to treat the face, neck, or body, and there is no downtime after the treatment.
-
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive body contouring treatment that uses a combination of radiofrequency energy and microneedling to tighten skin and reduce excess fat. Morpheus8 Body is specifically designed to treat larger areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks.
-
Lipodissolve: This is an injectable treatment that contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps to break down and absorb fat. Lipodissolve is typically used to treat excess fat under the chin, but it can also be used to treat other areas of the body with small to moderate amounts of fat.
-
Fotona Smooth Skin Tightening is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses a combination of two laser wavelengths to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. The treatment is typically used to treat the face and neck, but it can also be used on other areas of the body, such as the arms or abdomen.
