Procedure
After administering local anesthesia to numb the site, the surgeon will make a tiny incision and insert the small cannula of the device to deliver RF energy to liquefy and remove the unwanted fat. The BodyTite device features two parallel probes, one that passes below the skin and the other that passes directly above the skin. The radiofrequency energy passes between the two probes, melting fat on the inside while simultaneously causing skin to contract and tighten, allowing the surgeon sculpt the neck area to attain an ideal shape.
The procedure takes about 30-45 minutes, though this would vary and depend on the extent of the area treated. The results of the surgery will also vary depending on the amount of fat removed, and other individual considerations. Initial results can be seen immediately after the procedure, with the best outcomes usually visible after 6-12 weeks.
