Women go on strict diets and work out vigorously to get rid of fat in the hips, but usually fail. Disproportionate, bulky hips can affect your overall appearance and even make you look awkward. Hip liposuction is an effective solution to this concern. Though traditional liposuction surgery does allow effective fat removal, sagging skin or loose skin will persist, affecting the final outcome. Moreover, it also involves general anesthesia, extended downtime, scars, and long recovery. Fortunately, today, there are innovative minimally-invasive procedures like BodyTite hip liposuction that require only local anesthesia and provide surgical quality results – without scars and excessive downtime.
Stubborn fat deposits in the hips is usually the result of factors such as genetics, hormones, and aging. Hip liposuction performed using the FDA-approved BodyTite device eliminates this unwanted fat without surgery. The device utilizes patented RFAL™ (radiofrequency assisted liposuction) technology to address excess fat and provide significant skin tightening effects, while leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed.
The procedure begins with the surgeon administering local anesthesia. After the area becomes numb, a tiny incision is made to insert the BodyTite hand piece into the subcutaneous tissue in the hips. Radiofrequency (RF) energy is passed from an internal cannula to an external electrode, delivering focused energy into the adipose tissue to melt the fat. The handpiece simultaneously aspirates the liquefied fat and coagulates the tissue. The RF energy also stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin – with long-lasting results.

Compared to traditional hip liposuction, BodyTite liposuction in New York City involves only a short recovery period and most patients return to work within a week. Patients are usually advised to wear a compression garment for few weeks to speed up recovery.
However, not everyone is a good candidate for BodyTite. Generally, an ideal candidate for BodyTite is a healthy person with troublesome areas of excess fat and skin at the hip area. The best candidates should have moderate skin laxity and should be within 30% of their ideal weight.
Results are patient specific and depend on the treatment area and amount of fat removed. Usually, larger areas will require a longer recovery time. Initial results are usually visible immediately after the procedure, with the best results noticeable after 6–12 weeks.
