Micro Lipo with BodyTite
Say goodbye to stubborn fat and loose skin for good with this revolutionary, two-part procedure! BodyTite is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure designed to heat dermal tissue from within for more consistent results. Powered by directional radiofrequency-assited lipolysis (RFAL), BodyTite simultaneously liquifies and removes fat from target problem areas while tightening the skin. Thermal energy is applied under and above the skin so that fat removal and skin tightening can be addressed at the same time.
Micro Lipo, utilized immediately following the BodyTite procedure, safely removes and reshapes fat deposits to naturally contour problem areas. Training exclusively with the founder of Tumescent Liposuction, Dr. McKinzie brings extensive experience performing Micro Lipo with BodyTite to the Oklahoma City area.
How does Micro Lipo with BodyTite work?
This two-part procedure begins with BodyTite and ends with Micro Lipo. BodyTite is conducted through a unique handpiece that deploys radiofrequency energy from both an internal probe and an external electrode. The internal probe is inserted through a tiny incision. When moved across the treatment area, the electrode and internal probe precisely heat adipose tissue as well as superficial tissue beneath the skin. Built-in mechanisms ensure that the appropriate degree of heating occurs without damaging the skin.
Micro Lipo utilizes high definition, vibration-assisted technology to enhance the definition of muscle by reshaping and removing additional fat specifically from those problem areas. In fact, it’s this stimulating vibration that gives patients continued skin tightening and fat loss for up to 6 months after their procedure.

FAQ’S
What can I expect after the procedure?
Immediately following your procedure, you will be dressed in a compression garment to be worn for 2-4 days, or however long you would like to continue. Since no general anesthesia is used, you will be able to walk out on your own. Most patients feel tender and sore in the treated areas as if they had worked out extensively, but this discomfort resolves within a few days after the procedure. In general, patients feel good enough to return to work within 48 hours.
Is Micro Lipo with bodytite painful?
Prior to your procedure, we will provide you with oral medications to assist in preventing nausea, calming nerves, and easing any discomfort.
Micro Lipo with BodyTite utilizes Tumescent Anesthesia, a mixture of IV fluids, lidocaine, and epinephrine, to numb the surgical area and keep you comfortable. The epinephrine decreases bleeding and facilitates fat removal. This solution is injected directly into the unwanted fat, saturating the fat cells and causing them to swell and harden, making them easier to remove. During the procedure, the melted fat is aspirated from the body. Remaining fat may dissolve or be eliminated naturally.
How soon will I see results?
Results are consistent and substantial due to three- dimensional tissue contraction. Initial volume loss is experienced immediately, with skin tightening results seen as early as two weeks. Impressive results become noticeable in 3-6 months. The vibration used in Micro Lipo, which stimulates the skin and surrounding cells during the procedure, provides skin tightening and contouring results that continue to improve 6-12 months following the procedure.
Does the fat come back?
No. Fat reduction with Micro Lipo is permanent.
How long do we wear the garment?
Immediately following the procedure, you will wear your garment 24 hours a day for the first 2-4 days unless showering. Once the drainage has stopped then you will wear it for another 24 hours. After that last 24 hours, it is up to you on continuing to wear the garment or not. If you find it more comfortable on, then you may continue, but it is not necessary for results.
Am I a good candidate for Micro Lipo with bodytite?
Generally, individuals who are in good health yet struggle with fatty areas of the body that are resistant to working out and dieting are great candidates for this procedure. Additionally, individuals who have experienced weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and natural aging see great benefits as well.
