What Is BodyTite?
BodyTite is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive body-contouring procedure that combines traditional liposuction techniques with radiofrequency energy. This advanced technology not only removes unwanted fat but also heats the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling, tightening and firming the skin over time. The procedure is ideal for individuals seeking a comprehensive solution to both fat and skin laxity in areas like the abdomen, arms, thighs, and more.


Benefits of BodyTite
BodyTite offers numerous advantages, including:
- Tightened Skin: Stimulates collagen for smoother, firmer skin.
- Fat Reduction: Targets and melts stubborn fat deposits.
- Minimally Invasive: Less recovery time and smaller incisions compared to traditional surgeries.
- Precise Contouring: Provides natural-looking, seamless results.
- Short Downtime: Patients often resume routine activities within days.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BodyTite?
You may be a good candidate for BodyTite if you:
- Are in good overall health
- Have localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
- Experience mild to moderate skin laxity
- Have realistic expectations and aesthetic goals
BodyTite is not a weight-loss solution but a contouring procedure designed to refine and sculpt your figure.

The BodyTite Procedure Process
BodyTite procedures are performed in our state-of-the-art facility. Here’s what you can expect:
Consultation
Your plastic surgeon will evaluate your goals and determine the best approach.
Preparation
The treatment area is numbed, and general anesthesia is used for larger areas.
Treatment
A small incision is made, and the BodyTite device delivers radiofrequency energy to liquefy fat and tighten the skin.
Extraction
Melted fat is gently removed using a thin cannula.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from BodyTite is quick and manageable.
- Most patients return to work and light activities within 1-2 days
- A compression garment is worn for 4 weeks to minimize swelling and promote healing
- Strenuous activities and exercise can typically resume after 4 weeks
Our surgeon will provide a detailed aftercare plan to ensure optimal results and support your recovery.
Results of BodyTite
Patients often notice immediate improvements after treatment, with optimal results appearing over 3-6 months and then up to a year as collagen remodeling continues. BodyTite delivers smooth, natural-looking contours and tighter skin, helping you feel more confident in your appearance.
Risks and Considerations
While BodyTite is safe and effective, it’s important to consider potential risks, such as:
- Temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort
- Minimal scarring at the incision sites
- Rare complications, which your surgeon will discuss during your consultation
Our experienced, board-certified surgeons prioritize your safety and satisfaction.
What Areas Can BodyTite Treat?
BodyTite is versatile and can address common problem areas, including:
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Flanks
- Chin/Neck
- Back/Bra Roll
- Thighs


Dr. Downs is fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and communicates very effectively. The staff made this experience comfortable for me. I am very happy and pleased with the results.
I had a great experience here, the staff are so friendly and make you feel comfortable. Dr. Downs is the best, I will definitely be returning.
Everyone here is so kind, helpful, talented and caring.I trust highly in them and will always come to them for all my cosmetic concerns and care!!❤️
I was recently hospitalized last week for a finger infection. I ended up having surgery and Dr. Downs was my doctor. Very good bedside manner and great doctor. He takes his time to explain things to you. I really liked that. And went to his office for my follow up. All the staff were so sweet and professional.
Dr. Downs and whole team at Centre PC have been amazing! They listened to me as I told them my desired results, provided different options for me, based on years of industry knowledge and worked alongside me as I navigated the headaches of insurance. I couldn’t be happier with my experience there and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to make some positive change in their life!
Everyone is so professional, compassionate, and willing to help in anyway.
I would recommend their office to everyone.
Dr. Downs and The Centre, P.C. staff are wonderful to work with for questions/concerns prior to and after surgery during recovery period. Dr. Downs consults with patient prior to surgery to confirm understanding of what results are important to them.
Additionally, Dr. Downs personally follows up after surgery to ensure that things are going well after discharge which I was extremely impressed by. The office/surgical center provides a more discrete and personalized patient environment with a separate door entrance for the follow-up appointment the day after surgery as well.
From the time I walked in the door to the moment I walked out, I felt respected, seen and heard! The staff are kind and gentle and I will never go anywhere else for the things I need. Dr. Macias is outstanding.
I’ve been going to the Spa for a few years now and have always had a positive experience with my services and staff. Everyone is always kind and informative. Ashley Kweder has easily been my favorite cosmetic injector! She has always been able execute everything I wanted, keeping me well informed and being absolutely the sweetest! Highly recommend
The medspa staff are always friendly and welcoming. Kellee has the LIGHTEST touch with an injection needle and always does a great job!
I was referred to The Centre by the on call hand Doctor that reviewed my ER case after I split my thumb open. From setting up my appointment to being taken care of by the staff, it was a pleasant experience. Each member of the team I met was attentive, very forthright with any information I needed & were an absolute pleasure to be around. Dr. Downs has an amazing staff!
