SUMMARY

Abstract
This clinical study evaluates the integration of noninvasive and minimally invasive radiofrequency-based technologies into open body contouring surgeries. BodyTite, FaceTite, AccuTite, and Morpheus8 are highlighted as effective tools that enhance aesthetic outcomes by reducing scar length, improving skin elasticity, and refining contour definition. These RF-based procedures are applied both as primary treatments and secondary adjuncts to excisional surgeries such as abdominoplasty, thigh lift, and brachioplasty.

Conclusion
The findings demonstrate that combining BodyTite, Morpheus8, and related RF modalities with open surgeries optimizes long-term results, offering significant improvements in skin contraction, elasticity, and body definition. Minimally invasive and noninvasive procedures not only enhance aesthetics but also reduce the need for extensive excisional approaches. These outcomes establish RFAL and Morpheus8 as critical tools for modern body contouring protocols.

TOPICS COVERED

  • Use of BodyTite for skin tightening and fat reduction during abdominoplasty, thigh lift, and brachioplasty
  • Role of Morpheus8 and Morpheus8 Body in improving skin quality and elasticity perioperatively
  • Adjunctive use of FaceTite and AccuTite for smaller areas such as axilla and elbows
  • Combining radiofrequency microneedling with excisional surgery for enhanced contouring
  • Use of noninvasive EvolveX for postoperative skin tightening and muscle toning
