Amazing experience! I had a breast reduction and tummy tuck with Dr. Steele. I'm in my early 50's and can't believe I waited so long. My abdomen and waist looks incredible. My breasts also look amazing but my back and neck no longer hurt and bother me like they have for they last 20-30 years. Highly recommend and his staff is so helpful and attentive. Would give 10 stars if I could. Thanks Dr. Steele!

I should have done this a while ago . Sorry Dr.Steele ! Dr.Steele and his team are great to work with . I went through a double mastectomy and then after my first reconstructive surgery had to leave my surgeon due to she was verbally abusive and more concerned about her own ego than her patient . I am a nurse so I know good drs when I see one and that is getting rare . Dr.Steele is one of the good ones and helped me with second reconstruction . This was a traumatic for me and Dr.Steele and his wife and whole team helped me through more than they will ever know . I read someone wrote he doesn’t call to check on you that’s is a lie I had a previous cosmetic surgery from him and both times he called personally to check on my pain . Thank you Dr.Steele and your team !

Breast Lift & Augmentation - Dr. Steele is a fantastic doctor. I had always felt uncomfortable and nervous going into such a procedure, but Dr. Steele and Tyler were absolutely amazing. Dr. Steele took the time to answer every question I had about the procedure and the healing process, which really helped ease my nerves. They also provided clear, easy-to-follow written instructions for both before and after the procedure. I felt informed, supported, and truly well cared for throughout the entire experience. Dr. Steele did an amazing job, and I love my results!!

Excellent care!!

Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen, both men and women can be left with stubborn fat deposits and areas of loose skin due to aging, genetics, sun damage, or weight loss. Traditional body contouring procedures such as a Tummy Tuck or Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) can be successful at reshaping and tightening the skin, however, not everyone is ready to commit to such invasive procedures. And now with a BodyTite procedure in Fort Worth, not everyone needs these procedures for surgical-like results. BodyTite is a ground-breaking new technology that allows for near surgical results, with small incisions and minimal downtime.

Benefits of BodyTite

BodyTite uses innovative technology to apply radiofrequency energy waves internally and externally. The external tissue heating causes dermal tightening and contraction, resulting in improved skin contour and tightness. The internal tissue heating results in lipolysis (busting of fat cells) and tightening of the underlying collagen network. The ruptured fat is then removed with liposuction. As a result of this combination, you are left with improved body contour with tighter skin and only a few small incisions instead of traditional longer scars. BodyTite provides effective body contouring and skin tightening for the following areas:

Abdomen
Waist and flanks (love handles)
Hips
Inner/Outer thighs and knees
Male breasts
Upper Arms
Neck/Jowls (FaceTite)

BodyTite FAQs

What is BodyTite?

BodyTite is the first FDA-approved device of its kind, using radiofrequency energy to simultaneously heat the internal and external tissues. This minimally invasive technique tightens the skin, melts the fat, and stimulates the production of new collagen for optimal skin contour after the procedure. Dr. Steele offers the BodyTite PRO which allows for faster, more consistent results with minimal downtime.

Will I have scars after a BodyTite procedure?

Small incisions (3-4mm) are made to allow the BodyTite handpiece and liposuction cannulas into the fatty areas to remove the fat and tighten the skin. The scars are very small and often hidden in natural creases or areas covered by undergarments and bathing suits. It is likely that nobody will notice these small scars unless they are pointed out to them.

Am I a good candidate for BodyTite?

If you are a healthy patient looking to remove fat and improve loose skin that can appear after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, then BodyTite may be the right choice for you. The ideal patient will be close to their goal body weight with realistic expectations. While BodyTite combined with liposuction provides excellent body contouring, it is not a substitute or method for weight loss.

What areas can be treated?

BodyTite is a versatile treatment option in Fort Worth that is quite effective at treating loose skin and excess fat in a variety of locations including the abdomen, waist, hips, upper arms, thighs, and the face/neck (FaceTite).

What is the recovery like; and when can I return to work?

BodyTite is a well-tolerated, outpatient procedure performed in Dr. Steele’s office under local anesthesia with mild sedation. It is normal to see swelling, and possibly some bruising. You will have some tenderness and achiness due to the inflammation that responds well to non-narcotic pain medications. You will be placed into a surgical compression garment that is worn for 6-8 weeks. Most patients can return to work in 2-4 days. You should avoid cardio or strenuous exercise for about 3 weeks.

Is the treatment permanent? How long will the results last?

Yes, the fat cells that are removed during liposuction do not come back. If a patient gains weight, however, the remaining fat cells or fat cells in other locations will expand and become larger. Patients who maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen after surgery will maintain their results for years.

How much fat can be removed with liposuction and BodyTite?

This will vary depending on the size of the patient, their aesthetic goals, and the amount of fat in each location. While liposuction is not meant for weight loss or obesity, most patients will notice significant improvement in their body contour. General recommendations for safety include limiting the total fat removal to 5 liters of fluid (approximately 11 pounds). Patients who are closer to their ideal body weight will get better results with decreased complications compared to overweight and obese individuals.

When will I see my final results?

You will notice some improvement immediately after surgery; however, typical bruising and swelling will camouflage your final contour for several months. It is important to wear the compression garment as instructed by Dr. Steele to facilitate resolution of your swelling and skin contraction. You will gradually notice improvement as the swelling goes away, but it will take 3-6 months to see the final result. With the addition of BodyTite to the liposuction procedure, you will also notice continued skin tightening for 6-12 months after the procedure.
