Treatment Overview
Chest BodyTite in Korea is a minimally invasive contouring procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to reduce fat and tighten skin in the chest area. Unlike standard liposuction, BodyTite melts fat while simultaneously stimulating collagen and contracting skin, making it an excellent option for both men and women who want a firmer, smoother, and more defined chest.
- For men, Chest BodyTite is often used to address gynecomastia (male breast enlargement) or excess chest fat, creating a flatter, more athletic chest.
- For women, it can help refine the chest contour, improve skin firmness, or complement breast surgery for a smoother chest line.
Korean plastic surgeons are globally recognized for their precision in body sculpting and gynecomastia correction, often combining BodyTite with liposuction, gland removal, or high-definition chest sculpting for optimal results.
