BodyTite(TM) - Study Case Report: RFAL

Study Case Report: Radio-Frequency Assisted Liposuction™

Patient: 58 FemaleAreas Treated: Hips, Abdomen, Inner & Outer ThighsAnesthesia: Diazepam 10mg, Perdane, IV Sedation and Hunstad Tumescent Formula.Protocol: This patient indicated various concerns including excess fat accumulation in the abdomen, hips and thighs, as well as, cellulite on the thighs. BodyTite parameters were set at 65W at depth level 5 and treatment was commenced until fi brous areas were broken up and the cannula was able to smoothly move back and forth without resistance (at this point the temperature has risen from 26 to 32 degrees centigrade. The handpiece was then adjusted to depth setting 3 to treat both the intermediate and superfi cial layers until the skin’s surface reached the target cut-off temperature of 42 degrees centigrade, which was maintained for 3 minutes in each 10x15cm zone. The liquefi ed fat cells were aspirated with a 3.7mm aspirating cannula.Aspiration: 900cc hips, 1000cc abdomen, 400cc outer thighs and 300cc inner thighsPost-Op: Post-operatively, the patient was instructed to wear both compression garments and foam pads for the fi rst week (22 hours a day), then another 2 weeks of compression garments for 22 hours and then 3 more weeks of compression garments for 12 hours during the day.Results: • Circumferential reduction of 10 cm in the hips and 8 cm in the thighs after 24 weeks • Weight reduction from 160 lbs to 150 lbs after 24 weeksPhysician: S. Mulholland, MD

“My skin has not felt this fi rm since I was a single woman in my twenties. There was little to no discomfort and I was back to my normal activities the

next day, and exercise in one month” - Patient J

Patient: 42 FemaleAreas Treated: Abdomen & HipsAnesthesia: Valium 10mg (orally), IV Sedation and Hunstad Tumescent FormulaProtocol: The patient received 10x15cm thermal zone treatments using RFAL. Treatment began with energy levels of 65W in the deep fat layers (depth setting 5) until there was no tissue resistance and a corresponding 3-5 degree temperature rise. This was followed with 60W at depth setting 3 until there was no resistance in the mid-layer and 60W at depth setting 2 to address the superfi cial layer. When the treatment endpoint of 42 degrees centigrade was reached the treatment continued for another 3 minutes per zone to maximize the need for skin tightening, with the system modulating the energy level to maintain 42 degrees. Overall there was a very uniform endpoint with a complete thermal contractile experience to the entire subcutaneous matrix.Aspiration: 1800cc abdomen and 600cc hipsPost-Op: Post-operatively, the patient was instructed to wear both compression garments and foam pads for the fi rst week (22 hours a day), then another 2 weeks of compression garments for 22 hours and then 3 more weeks of compression garments for 12 hours during the day.Results: • 21% vertical contraction • Circumferential reduction of 12 cm in the abdomen after 24 weeks • Weight reduction from 136 lbs to 132 lbs after 24 weeksPhysician: S. Mulholland, MD

“I can’t believe I waited this long to do this! I have incredible tightening and shaping of my tummy and hips. I am back into the clothes I used to wear two decades and

three kids ago.” - Patient LSM.9.42.LF

Patient: 49 FemaleAreas Treated: Abdomen, Hips, Thighs & BralineAnesthesia: Valium 10mg (orally), IV Sedation and Hunstad Tumescent FormulaProtocol: Multiple level complete matrix heating of adipose and subdermal heating was used to address the patient’s excess fat concerns. The energy levels were as follows: 65W at depth setting 5, 60W at depth setting 3 and 55W at depth setting 2. The end point at the deep levels was loss of tissue resistance and in setting 2 was the skin’s surface reaching 42 degrees. In addition, each zone was treated for an additional 3 minutes at the target cut of temperature to achieve maximal skin tightening in the area. All thermal zones were 10x15cm in area.Aspiration: 2000cc abdomen and 1200cc hipsPost-Op: Post-operatively, the patient was instructed to wear both compression garments and foam pads for the fi rst week (22 hours a day), then another 2 weeks of compression garments for 22 hours and then 3 more weeks of compression garments for 12 hours during the day.Results: • 10% vertical contraction • Circumferential reduction of 12 cm abdomen after 24 weeks • Weight reduction from 138 lbs to 129 lbs after 24 weeksPhysician: S. Mulholland, MD

Patient: 52 FemaleAreas Treated: Waist, Hips, Upper & Lower Abdomen Sedative: RemifentanilAnesthesia: Tumescent Local Anesthesia Protocol: Patient was treated with the BodyTite 40W until she reached the cut off temperature of 42 degrees centigrade. The deep plane was treated at a depth of 3cm and the second superfi cial plane was at 0.5cm. Aspiration: 2,800 ccPost-Op: Elastic compression was used for 3 weeks.Results:

Patient: 34 Female, no prior surgeryHeight: 5”4Weight: 150 lbsProcedure: Combination treatment: Mini lower abdominoplasty with extensive RFAL above the umbilicus (without transposition of her umbilicus) Aspiration: 1300cc of lipoaspitate from RFAL of upper abdomen and hipPost-Op Feedback: The smaller excision provides the patient with less downtime and faster healing. The patient is very pleased with her results and has had minimal pain.Physician Testimonial: “She has no pain and no problem healing and I feel an incredible early result not previously achievable by any other means... even with much more extensive surgery.”Physician: D.
