10. Combination excision and RFAL

The ability to achieve significant BodyTite® RFAL contraction has opened a more minimal excisional opportunity for surgeons in achieving optimal contouring results with less invasive procedures. Mini intra-pubic skin pinch tummy tucks, removing infra-umbilical skin excess with BodyTite® RFAL upper and lower abdominal lipocoagulation and aspiration can achieve results of a full abdominoplasty, with less scarring when the rectus abdominus diastasis is not significant. Axillary mini-brachioplasty with BodyTite® lipocoagulation and aspiration of the arm, limited incision, inguinal Anterior thigh lifting with BodyTite® liposuction to the inner thigh and lateral post or periauricular lateral face and neck-lifting with anterior compartment FaceTite® RFAL and lipoaspiration are all examples of combining BodyTite® RFAL applicators in combination with more minimal excisional approaches to achieve excellent results in selected patients.

By combining the contraction power of RFAL with more minimal limited excisional approach, a less invasive option between totally non excisional energy based device treatments and full excisional, more standard lifting is created that gives patients the option for a better outcome than an EBD without the excisional scars, or recovery of a typical open surgery. Often these BodyTite® assisted procedures can be performed as an outpatient, under oral and tumescent anesthesia and nitrous oxide inhalational, avoiding a full general anesthetic. This BodyTite® RFAL together with the mini-lift, give physician an "in between" option that is more appealing to patients and can give a superior outcome with less scarring or downtime.
