What Is BodyTite?
BodyTite is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology to remove unwanted fat and tighten skin at the same time. A small cannula delivers controlled radiofrequency energy beneath the skin, liquefying fat cells while simultaneously heating the surrounding tissue to stimulate collagen production and promote skin contraction.
This dual-action approach is what sets BodyTite apart from traditional liposuction. Rather than simply removing fat and leaving behind loose skin, BodyTite actively addresses skin laxity, a common concern that standard liposuction alone cannot correct. The result is a smoother, more defined contour with noticeably firmer skin across the treatment area.
BodyTite can be applied to multiple areas of the body, including the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, back, and the submental area beneath the chin. In many cases, Dr. Linville combines BodyTite with liposuction, abdominoplasty, and other procedures to eliminate skin laxity that might otherwise obscure beautiful results.
Elevating Body Contouring
with BodyTite
Dr. Linville's approach to body contouring addresses both underlying tissue and skin laxity. BodyTite is often the key to achieving the natural-looking results he is known for. When you undergo a tummy tuck, mommy makeover, or other procedure, he will use advanced technology such as BodyTite to help the skin conform to your refined contours for results that look great from every angle.
What to Expect During and After BodyTite
During your BodyTite procedure at our Houston office, Dr. Linville makes small incisions in the treatment area and inserts a thin cannula equipped with internal and external radiofrequency electrodes. The energy heats and liquefies targeted fat while simultaneously tightening the surrounding tissue from within. Most BodyTite sessions take one to two hours depending on the number of areas treated, and patients typically receive local anesthesia with sedation for a comfortable experience.
Recovery after BodyTite is considerably shorter than traditional surgical alternatives:
- Most patients return to light daily activities within a few days
- Normal routines typically resume within one to two weeks
- A compression garment is worn for several weeks to support healing and optimize results
- Initial improvements are visible almost immediately, with final results developing over three to six months as skin contracts and collagen remodels
- Dr. Linville and his team provide detailed aftercare instructions and are available for follow-up throughout your recovery to ensure everything is progressing as expected.

Am I a Good Candidate for BodyTite?
Ideal candidates are adults in good overall health who have localized fat deposits and mild to moderate skin laxity. BodyTite is not a weight loss solution. It works best for patients near their goal weight who want to refine and tighten specific areas. Dr. Linville will give you a straight answer at your consultation. If BodyTite is the right tool for your goals, he'll tell you. If something else can give you a better result, or if the timing isn't right, he will tell you.
How Long Do BodyTite Results Last?
BodyTite results are long-lasting when maintained with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. The fat cells removed during the procedure do not regenerate, and the skin tightening effects continue to improve for several months as collagen production increases.
Can BodyTite Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Yes. BodyTite is frequently combined with traditional liposuction, FaceTite, or other body contouring procedures to achieve more comprehensive results. Dr. Linville can discuss combination options tailored to your goals during your consultation at Linville Plastic Surgery.
What Areas Can BodyTite Treat?
BodyTite is versatile and can be applied to the abdomen, flanks, back, arms, inner and outer thighs, and the submental area beneath the chin. It is effective wherever localized fat and mild skin laxity are present.
