SUMMARY
Abstract
Breast ptosis caused by age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss is a frequent concern for women. Traditional surgical lifts can be invasive and leave scars. This prospective clinical study assessed the safety and efficacy of BodyTite radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) in improving breast envelope tightening and nipple-areola complex (NAC) position. Ten women (ages 23–54) underwent a single treatment and were followed for 12 months using both manual and 3D Vectra measurements.
Conclusion
The study demonstrated significant improvements in sternal notch-to-nipple and nipple-to-inframammary fold distances, indicating measurable elevation and tightening. Patients reported moderate to excellent satisfaction, with minimal scarring and no serious adverse events. RFAL with BodyTite provides a minimally invasive, effective solution for mild to moderate breast ptosis, addressing the “treatment gap” between nonsurgical and excisional approaches.
