What Is BodyTite?
BodyTite is a minimally invasive body contouring treatment that combines fat removal with skin tightening. A thin cannula delivers radiofrequency energy under the skin, which melts fat and heats the deeper layers so the skin contracts and builds new collagen.
Dr. Boris Mordkovich performs BodyTite in our Fort Lee office, so most patients go home the same day.
BodyTite vs. Liposuction
Traditional liposuction removes fat but cannot tighten the skin, which can leave loose skin behind. BodyTite does both at once: the radiofrequency energy firms the skin while the fat is removed. That makes it a strong middle ground for patients who are not ready for a tummy tuck or arm lift but want more than liposuction alone. Learn more about the technology on our RFAL liposuction page.
Consultation & Preparation
for BodyTite
Your BodyTite journey starts with a consultation with Dr. Mordkovich. He examines the areas that bother you, checks skin quality and fat thickness, and explains how much tightening you can expect.
Before treatment, you will receive instructions on medications and supplements to pause, stopping smoking, and arranging a ride home. You may also need routine lab work or medical clearance.
BodyTite Procedure
BodyTite takes place in our office under local anesthesia. Here is what a typical treatment looks like:
Local Anesthesia
The treatment area is numbed with tumescent local anesthesia, so you stay comfortable without general anesthesia.
Tiny Incisions
Dr. Mordkovich makes a few small incisions, about the size of a pen tip, in discreet spots.
Radiofrequency Heating
A thin cannula delivers controlled radiofrequency energy under the skin. It melts fat and heats the tissue to trigger skin contraction.
Fat Removal
The liquefied fat is gently suctioned out to shape smoother, more defined contours.
Compression and Closing
The incisions are closed and you put on a compression garment to control swelling and support the tightened skin.
Recovery After BodyTite
Recovery after BodyTite is shorter than after traditional surgery. Expect swelling, bruising and some soreness for the first days, and wear your compression garment as directed.
Most patients rest for 2 to 10 days, depending on the size of the area treated, and then return to work and light activity. Some change is visible right away, and the skin keeps tightening for 3 to 6 months as new collagen forms.
Candidates for BodyTite
Good BodyTite candidates are healthy adults close to their goal weight who have stubborn fat and mild to moderate skin laxity. BodyTite works well on:
- Upper arms (bat wings)
- Bra line and back fat
- Love handles and muffin tops
- Abdomen
- Inner and outer thighs and knees
- Male chest
- Double chin and neck

Cost of BodyTite in Fort Lee,
New Jersey
The cost of BodyTite depends on how many areas are treated and the size of each area. Dr. Mordkovich gives you an exact quote after your consultation, and the $150 consultation fee is applied to the cost of your procedure. BodyTite is often combined with a mommy makeover or breast augmentation.
BodyTite is a cosmetic procedure, so insurance does not cover it. Financing is available through CareCredit, Cherry, Credee and Alphaeon, and all post-op visits are included.
BodyTite FAQs
How much does BodyTite cost in New Jersey?
The price depends on the number and size of the areas treated. Dr. Mordkovich gives you a personal quote after your consultation, and the $150 consultation fee goes toward your procedure. Financing is available.
How long do BodyTite results last?
The fat cells removed do not come back, and the tightened skin lasts for years. Keeping a stable weight is the best way to protect your results as you age.
Can BodyTite be done without liposuction?
BodyTite always includes some fat removal, because the radiofrequency energy melts fat that is then suctioned out. For areas with little fat, Dr. Mordkovich may suggest a different skin-tightening option.
Is BodyTite effective?
BodyTite tightens skin more than liposuction alone and gives a visible change right away. The full result builds over 3 to 6 months as collagen forms.
Is BodyTite painful?
The area is numbed with local anesthesia, so most patients feel pressure and warmth rather than pain. Soreness afterward is usually mild and managed with medication.
How long is recovery after BodyTite?
Most patients rest for 2 to 10 days and wear a compression garment for several weeks. Strenuous exercise resumes when Dr. Mordkovich clears you.
