Mr Reza Nassab, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, provides BodyTite radiofrequency-assisted liposuction in Manchester. Consultations take place at CLNQ, Deansgate Square (and at CLNQ in Knutsford), and treatment is carried out at Deansgate Hospital in the city centre. BodyTite aims to reduce localised fat and improve mild to moderate skin laxity at the same time, with follow-up appointments in Manchester.
What BodyTite involves
BodyTite uses radiofrequency energy delivered between a probe beneath the skin and an electrode on the surface. The energy heats and liquefies fat and warms the connective tissue so that it contracts, before the fat is removed by gentle suction. It is used on areas such as the abdomen, flanks, bra line, upper arms, inner and outer thighs and knees. Because it adds a tightening element, it can suit people who might otherwise be left with slightly loose skin after standard liposuction but who do not have enough excess skin to need an excisional procedure.
Consultation at CLNQ, Deansgate Square
Your first appointment is with Mr Nassab. He will discuss the areas that concern you, your weight history and your general health, then examine your skin quality and fat distribution. He will explain frankly whether BodyTite, conventional liposuction (from £7,500 for one area) or a skin-removal procedure such as a tummy tuck is more likely to meet your goals. You will discuss anaesthetic options, recovery and risks, and receive a written quote. The consultation fee is £150, charged separately, and BodyTite is from £6,000.
Treatment day at Deansgate Hospital
You will arrive at Deansgate Hospital on the day of treatment, meet the nursing team and your anaesthetist if one is involved, and see Mr Nassab for markings while you stand. Depending on the areas treated, BodyTite may be done under local anaesthetic with sedation or under general anaesthetic. Afterwards you will be fitted with a compression garment and rest on the ward. Most patients go home the same day with a responsible adult.
Recovery and aftercare in Manchester
Most people return to desk-based work in about a week, wearing a compression garment for four to six weeks. Bruising and swelling settle over several weeks, while skin tightening develops gradually over six to twelve months. Follow-up appointments are held in Manchester, allowing Mr Nassab to monitor healing and your developing result. The BodyTite recovery guide explains each stage.
Travelling from the North West
Patients come to Deansgate Hospital from across Greater Manchester, from Wigan and Bolton to Stockport and Oldham, as well as Lancashire, Merseyside and Yorkshire. Because you will be wearing a garment and may feel sore, being driven home is essential, and a cushion for the journey can help. If Knutsford is easier, see BodyTite in Cheshire.
Who is BodyTite suitable for?
BodyTite may suit adults aged 18 and over who are close to a stable, healthy weight, with localised fat and mild to moderate skin laxity. It is not a weight-loss treatment. People with significant overhanging skin, for example after pregnancy or major weight loss, are often better served by a tummy tuck, arm lift or thigh lift. Good general health and not smoking are important. The BodyTite vs liposuction guide explains the differences.
What results to expect
BodyTite is designed to create a smoother, firmer contour rather than a dramatic change in size. Early on, swelling hides much of the improvement, so many Manchester patients notice the shape emerging from around six weeks, with the skin continuing to firm for up to a year. Results depend on your starting skin quality, the areas treated and keeping a stable weight afterwards. Fat cells that are removed do not regrow, but remaining fat can still enlarge with weight gain, and skin continues to age naturally. Mr Nassab will explain what is realistic for you.
Safety and support
You will be given a 24-hour contact number. Contact the team the same day for fever, spreading redness, blistering or a darkening patch of skin, and urgently for a rapidly enlarging or tense swelling. Sudden calf pain or leg swelling needs same-day advice from your GP or NHS 111, and chest pain or breathlessness needs a 999 call. More detail is available on the BodyTite risks page.
