Rivela Plastic Surgery

"Do I really need surgery for this?" It is one of the most common questions I hear, and for some patients, the honest answer is no.

BodyTite is an in office procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten loose skin and address small pockets of fat, all through a tiny entry point under local anesthesia. No operating room, no general anesthesia, and a much shorter recovery than a traditional lift or tummy tuck.

Here is who tends to be a good fit: you have mild to moderate skin laxity (think upper arms, abdomen, or inner thighs) and a small amount of stubborn fat that has not budged with diet or exercise. You are not looking to remove a large amount of skin, you just want things to look firmer and more contoured.

What it is not: a replacement for a tummy tuck or body lift if you have significant excess skin. It is a great option for the right candidate, not a universal fix.

Every patient has unique goals and anatomy, which is why an in person consultation matters. We will talk through what is realistic for you and whether an office procedure or a surgical approach is the better path.

Twenty eight years in practice, and I still don't consider us finished.

When I think about what these years actually represent, it's not just cases performed or a number on a wall. It's the trust patients have given me with something deeply personal. It's the team who shows up every single day and makes this practice feel like more than an office, they make it feel like home for the people who walk through our doors.

I'm grateful for every patient who trusted us with their story, and for a staff whose care and consistency are the real reason this practice has lasted this long.
