This technique is approved by the FDA and is a minimally invasive option for people who are looking to transform their appearance without the downtime of surgery. BodyTite procedure will improve your self-image, increase your confidence, and elevate your quality of life.

Can a BodyTite Procedure Help Me?
BodyTite is an exciting body contouring procedure that has helped countless men and women overcome stubborn pockets of fat in order to rebuild their confidence. You may be a good candidate for bodytite if:
- You are in good physical and emotional health
- You are worried about stubborn pockets of fat on your arms, back, buttocks, hips, or knees
- You desire a minimally invasive procedure as opposed to surgery
- You are close to your ideal body weight and are physically active
- You have a good skin tone
- You have realistic expectations about the outcome of this procedure
Dr. Balinger does not recommend this minimally invasive body contouring and skin tightening procedure for:
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Individuals who have autoimmune diseases
- Anyone who suffers from skin diseases or infections
- People who have allergic to specific local anesthetics
When you visit Dr. Balinger for your first BodyTite consultation in Houston Texas, the surgeon will listen to you and examine your problem areas before letting you know whether this non surgical procedure is for you. BodyTite is a highly individualized procedure. For this reason, Dr. Christopher recommends that you have this treatment out of your own choice, not because someone else wants you to.
What areas does a BodyTite treat?
BodyTite, which uses radiofrequency assisted liposuction, can be performed anywhere in the body. Most people have this procedure to address stubborn pockets of fat in the face, neck, chin, abdomen, back, breasts, chest, upper arms, saddle bags, buttocks, love handles, inner and outer thighs, hips, knees, and ankle. Patients who have a BodyTite body contouring treatment achieve surgery-like results but with less downtime, no large incisional scars, as well as fast, long-lasting fat loss results.
Your Initial BodyTite Consultation
During your first Houston BodyTite consultation, Dr. Balinger will ask questions and review your medical history to learn more about your health. The surgeon will also examine your problem areas and skin laxity before moving forward to the next step. This initial consultation – which is offered free of charge at Balinger’s office – offers an opportunity to learn more about what this treatment entails, and what you can expect from the procedure.
Procedure Technique
BodyTite body contouring is typically performed under local anesthesia. General anesthesia may be used for some patients who are overly anxious about the process. The surgeon will create a tiny incision (about 3mm in length) around the treatment areas. A special BodyTite apparatus, which uses radiofrequency energy, is inserted under the skin via this incision. Inner and outer thermometers will allow Dr. Balinger to manage temperatures and ensure a tolerable but efficient energy level.
The treatment causes specific fat cells to melt or be displaced, thus facilitating effortless removal via a suctioning apparatus. The energy emitted by the BodyTite device will also help contract sagging skin and improve the production of collagen, resulting in firmer and smoother skin. This non-surgical body contouring and weight loss procedure takes about 45 minutes to complete.
What to expect after BodyTite
BodyTite has fewer risks and entails a shorter recovery period compared to traditional liposuction (liposculpture). Typical recovery duration is 5-10 days after your bodytite plastic surgery. This minimally invasive remedy will eliminate stubborn bulges of fat as well as sagging skin. Patients can expect to benefit from a tight and toned body after a single brief session of BodyTite. Some patients have instant result after a BodyTite treatment. Others have to wait for several months for inflammation and swelling to dissipate before they can get a good impression of the outcome. While fat that has been removed cannot grow back, the remaining fat cells can still become big if you gain weight. Dr. Balinger recommends that you maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight following your bodytite skin tightening plastic surgery in Houston TX.
Plan your Procedure in Houston Texas
As with liposuction or any other body contouring technique, bodytite skin tightening is not a ‘quick fix’. Dr. Balinger feels that the best results are achieved by those who are close to their ideal body weight. The surgeon may ask that you do everything to attain your desired body appearance, then have this procedure to address localized areas of stubborn fat. Your Body Mass Index (BMI) will be used as a guide to ensure safety and aesthetics during this procedure. The cost of bodytite fat removal can vary significantly from one patient to the other, based on the number of problem areas. During your visit to Dr. Balinger’s office, the surgeon will provide a cost estimate based on a personalized treatment plan developed for you. Health insurers typically do not cover the cost of bodytite because it is considered to be an elective cosmetic procedure. However, the surgeon offers financing options for his patients in Houston, Conroe, and surrounding TX areas.
