Service Overview
Procedure Objective
Achieve firm, contoured results without the need for extensive surgery. At Vive Plastic Surgery, we offer BodyTite — a revolutionary radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) treatment that combines fat removal with powerful skin tightening in a single session. Discover a modern, minimally invasive solution trusted by patients seeking body refinement in Tijuana.
## BodyTite Procedure in Tijuana
For patients who want real body refinement without the scars, downtime, or invasiveness of traditional surgery, BodyTite in Tijuana offers one of the most advanced solutions available today. At Vive Plastic Surgery, this procedure is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons in our modern, hospital-grade facility just minutes from the San Diego border. Many of our patients travel from the United States and Canada to take advantage of the same technology offered at top U.S. clinics, combined with bilingual care, concierge transport, and comfortable recovery house options in the area.
Whether you are struggling with loose skin after weight loss, post-pregnancy laxity, or simply want to refine an area that has not responded to diet and exercise, BodyTite can deliver the contour you have been working toward with a much shorter recovery than a surgical lift.
Procedure Detail
What is BodyTite?
BodyTite is a minimally invasive body contouring technology that uses patented radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to liquefy unwanted fat and tighten the skin at the same time. During the procedure, a thin probe is inserted beneath the skin through a tiny incision. The probe delivers controlled radiofrequency energy that melts fat cells, which are then gently suctioned out with a small cannula. Simultaneously, the energy heats the underlying tissue and the skin's surface, triggering an immediate contraction of collagen fibers and stimulating the long-term production of new collagen.
The dual-action effect — fat reduction plus skin tightening — is what makes BodyTite different from standard liposuction. Traditional lipo removes fat efficiently but does very little to address skin laxity, often leaving patients with loose, hanging skin that requires a surgical lift to correct. BodyTite closes that gap.
The procedure is most commonly performed on the abdomen, flanks, arms (often called "bat wings"), inner and outer thighs, back, bra line, and knees. It is performed under local anesthesia with light sedation, so patients remain comfortable throughout and go home the same day. Most sessions take one to two hours, depending on the number of areas treated.
Because the incisions are extremely small (just a few millimeters), scarring is minimal and typically fades to nearly invisible. Downtime is usually two to three days before returning to light activities, with full activity resumed within a week or two.

FAQs
Questions we hear most often
**How long does a BodyTite session last?**
Most treatments take 1 to 2 hours, depending on the number of areas being treated. You can go home the same day.
**Is BodyTite painful?**
No. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, and most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or warmth.
**When will I see results?**
You may begin seeing improvements immediately, but final results appear gradually over 3–6 months as collagen rebuilds.
**How is BodyTite different from regular liposuction?**
Standard liposuction removes fat but does not tighten skin. BodyTite does both in the same session using radiofrequency energy, which is why it is often recommended for patients who would otherwise be told they need a tummy tuck or arm lift.
**Is the procedure safe?**
Yes. BodyTite is FDA-approved and has an excellent safety record when performed by a trained surgeon. The system includes real-time temperature monitoring to protect the skin and underlying tissues.
