What Is BodyTite?
Nothing is more frustrating than losing a substantial amount of weight only to be left with loose, droopy skin around your midsection. At Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery, we understand this frustration, which is why we're pleased to offer nonsurgical skin tightening with the cutting-edge BodyTite platform from InMode Aesthetics. This revolutionary technology uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to disrupt fat cells and promote skin tightening, all with very little recovery time. This process is sometimes called radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL), and it makes a perfect complement for traditional liposuction at our Chicago, IL practice, allowing patients to achieve a more contoured appearance with minimal scarring. Learn more about BodyTite and start your journey toward a leaner, more confident look by scheduling a consultation with our team.
How Are BodyTite Treatments Performed?
BodyTite is performed in-office at our Chicago, IL location and usually takes 1 – 2 hours. We'll start by numbing the area with lidocaine and epinephrine. After that, we'll make an incision in your skin and carefully insert the BodyTite wand, gently guiding it to the fatty deposits you wish to eliminate. At the same time, we'll pass an external applicator over the surface of the skin to transmit current and liquefy unwanted fat, which will then be suctioned out. The heat used during the fat elimination will tighten your connective tissue and skin for instant skin contraction. BodyTite treatments usually take about 30 – 45 minutes per area, and you may need multiple treatments to gain the full benefits.
We typically perform BodyTite treatments at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery in combination with liposuction, but this will depend on how much fat you want to remove from the treatment area. We'll discuss which approach is ideal for you during your consultation.

Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
I've lived in Chicago for 20 years, and have visited a handful of different med spas and have been under the care of a couple of other plastice surgeons in the Chciago Metro area. However, no experience was as wonderful as mine with Dr. Simon at Northwestern. I've lost and gained quite a bit of weight over the last 15 years or so and decided to have chin lipo, and couldn't be happier. I feel and look amazing, and will not go back to another Doctor now. His PA MoniKa is equally as lovely, and caring as Dr. Moradian himself. I would recommend Dr. Moradian, his staff, and his practice to everyone I know!
Five stars is not enough. I came to Dr. Moradian for an upper bleph - my results were phenomenal. I didn't want to look surprised or crazy; I wanted to look like I got a good night's sleep. And that is exactly what he delivered. He and NSPS also went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable. Dr. Moradian is truly a talented surgeon and I was lucky to find him.
I visited Dr Fine and his team after a failed breast reconstruction after being treated for cancer with mastectomy, chemo and radiation. From the first visit, there were noticeable differences between my prior surgeon and him. He and his team are empathetic and make their patients feel at ease and cared for. At each visit, he and his team have spent a lot of time with me. The visits never feel rushed. At my first visit, he looked at my infected reconstructed breast with an exposed implant and calmly explained what was necessary to fix it. He then explained the procedure he thought would be helpful and showed me before and after pictures of patients who had undergone the suggested surgery. The end result was gorgeous, by the way, in all of these pictures---even in post radiation patients. In this visit alone, he spent more time with me than my prior surgeon had spent with me over multiple visits. He answered all my very detailed questions. In my first visit with my prior surgeon, before my mastectomy, my husband and I were left alone in an exam room for about an hour with a saline-filled implant and silicone-filled implant on the counter to look at. The surgeon I went to before spent about 20 minutes with me in that visit and did not go into detail. The choices presented to me were implant reconstruction with saline- or silicone-filled implants or an abdominal flap procedure that takes 2-4 months to recover from. I am very career-oriented and don't have 2 months to take off of work. Dr Fine, on the other hand, gave me the option of a latissimus dorsi flap with a significantly shorter recovery time, lower complication rate, and better aesthetic result. He gives you his honest opinion based on 30 years of experience. He tells you the hard truths: such as that 50% of implant reconstructions fail after radiation therapy. I wish I would have known that before I started on this journey because I would have made very different choices. The icing on the cake was when he took out the infected implant in his office, which makes a woman feel really terrible and ugly and scared, and his very kind PA told me I have beautiful eyes. Wow. What a caring team.

Dr. Moradian performed an incredible job! He’s one of the sweetest and compassionate doctors/surgeons I’ve ever encountered. He made me feel incredibly comfortable and relieved, putting all my anxieties to rest. I underwent a transaxillary breast augmentation, and I’m thrilled with the results. All of my friends and family are blown away by my outcome. I have a new sense of confidence that has changed my life. While I was in my recovery room, Dr. Moradian not only took care of me but also spoke to my family and answered all their questions. He exudes a sense of safety and ensures that you receive the best possible outcomes. He took the time to personally check up on me and kindly encouraged me to reach out to him. Dr. Moradian genuinely cares about your concerns and takes the time to explain everything in detail. I am so fortunate to have found him!
