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!
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

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.
The medspa staff are always friendly and welcoming. Kellee has the LIGHTEST touch with an injection needle and always does a great job!
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.
Dr. Macias and her staff helped make this very personal decision easy and comfortable. They took the time to listen and answered all my questions. I was very nervous about having breast surgery but after it was done I was so happy with the results. She truly nailed it. I would highly recommend Dr. Macias to anyone considering any cosmetic surgery.
I received a rhinoplasty from Dr. Macias and my nose is PERFECT. 😍
I enjoyed my whole experience but here are a few specific highlights that stuck out:
- The staff is kind, informative, and responds quickly.
- I loved the simulation they used to show desired results.
- The staff the day of surgery was fun and helped me with my nerves.
- From the little shopping I did, their prices were the best (sometimes by far!).
I recently had a surgical procedure done with Dr. Macias. The staff was absolutely amazing from my consult to surgery everyone was soooo sweet and kind! So very helpful from the front desk to the treatment coordinators to the pre op the whole surgery experience to post op!!
If you are considering on having anything done I highly recommend. I am extremely happy with my results so far and it’s only been a week.
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.
