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 had read a lot of reviews prior to my procedure so felt it necessary to provide one. I researched many places to consult with but came here first and after meeting with Dr. Moradian, I knew that I didn't have to go anywhere else. The professionalism, knowledge, and genuine interest to get me the exact results that I was looking for was what led me to choosing this practice. From start to finish, everything was detailed out and Kendall was able to promptly answer any questions that came up so that I felt supported throughout. The aftercare and attention that I received during my recovery was top notch. It was very important to me to have natural results and could not be happier. This is one of the best decisions I've made and recommend Dr. Moradian & this practice to everyone.
I recently had a Lip Lift procedure with Dr.Schierle and couldn’t be happier with my results!!! From the first consultation with Dr. Schierle he was incredibly detailed, patient and genuinely compassionate. He took time to listen to my concerns and goals explaining the procedure and the healing process throughly. He made sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way.His attention to detail was exceptional and is apparent in my outcome. My results look natural, balanced and are exactly what I was hoping for-refreshed without looking odd or overdone .The care didn’t stop after the procedure either , follow up appointments were just as thoughtful and reassuring.If you are considering a Lip Lift and want a physician who is not only skilled but meticulous, compassionated and truly cares about their patients I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Schierle.

I have nothing but great things to say about my time with Dr Schierle (and Dr.Fine) They have been nothing short of professional and personable. Making my procedures as seamless as possible, answering many, many questions from my parents and myself without hesitation or frustration and providing excellent pre op and post op care. Not to mention his amazing PA Monika Ciesynski who has played a huge role on my care team. They are an amazing duo and I am lucky to be under their care. I would highly, highly recommend them for yourself and your loved ones!Kendall and Barbara have been amazing as far as finances and scheduling goes. The front office is always friendly and ready to help.
With my breast reduction I had immediate relief from my intense discomfort! I had minimal pain and was able to resume exercising within about 20 days. De. Schierle and his team were marvelous and I highly recommend them to others.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do BodyTite results last?
BodyTite results can be long-lasting, especially when patients maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. The treatment encourages collagen remodeling, which continues to improve skin firmness over time. Patients working with Dr. Moradian at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery often see results that evolve for several months following radiofrequency skin tightening.
Is BodyTite a replacement for liposuction?
BodyTite is not a direct replacement for liposuction, but it can complement or enhance body contouring goals. While liposuction focuses primarily on fat removal, BodyTite also addresses skin laxity. Patients in Chicago who want improved definition with tighter skin often choose BodyTite treatment alone or in combination with other procedures.
When will I see results from BodyTite?
Some improvement is visible soon after treatment, but results continue to develop as swelling subsides and collagen production increases. Most patients notice ongoing changes over several weeks to months. This gradual improvement makes BodyTite body contouring appealing for those who want refined results that look natural rather than sudden.
