What You Should Know About Body Contouring

If you are someone who is not enamored with your current frame or you would like to be restored to your youthful form, body contouring is the way to go. There is a wide range of procedures that you can choose from should you decide to take this route. Let us take a closer look at these choices so that you can learn everything you need to know.

Weight Loss Assistance

Once a patient loses a significant amount of weight, they may require body contouring procedures to address sagging skin. A patient can also experience decreased self-esteem because of sagging tissue throughout the body. Body contouring is often recommended in these instances.

VASER® Liposuction

With the usage of an advanced VASER liposuction device, patients are able to address several concerns at once. This procedure is performed by emulsifying the fat before it leaves the body. From there, suction is used to remove it. Thanks to VASER liposuction, patients are able to enjoy reduced downtime, and their body fat is removed with a much higher level of precision.

Labial Reduction

This procedure is also known as labiaplasty. If one or both sides of the labia minora need to be reduced, this is the procedure that is typically suggested. Whether the patient is looking to address the issue for cosmetic reasons or to solve the problems associated with painful intercourse or continual yeast infections, labial reduction can help.

Tummy Tuck

This major surgical procedure is also known as abdominoplasty. If excess fat and skin have been collected in the middle and/or lower abdomen, this procedure will remove it. This procedure can also be used to tighten the abdominal wall muscle.

Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the best ways for patients to sculpt their bodies. Those who seek body contouring can have unwanted fat removed from a variety of different areas. This procedure is not recommended as a substitute for weight loss but can serve as a method for removing localized fat. The chin, cheeks, neck, upper arms, abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, and knees can each be targeted.
