There are a number of factors that can alter the shape of our bodies, whether it involve excess weight, drastic weight loss, or the effects of pregnancy. Body contouring surgeries can help remedy these problems and help you looks slimmer, healthier, and more attractive.
Which body contouring procedure to undergo will depend on your unique set of circumstances. For instance, if there is sagging fat or skin in the upper arm or thighs, different sorts of body contouring procedures will need to be performed to address those issues. In general, though, there are two primary body contouring procedures that can meet almost all patients' needs:
liposuction and
tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).
Liposuction
Liposuction can be performed on almost any part of the body: the abdomen, the buttocks, the torso, the arms, the thighs, and even the face. Liposuction suctions out excess fat through a specially designed tube called a cannula.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck is performed on the abdomen to address problems with excess fat and excess skin tissue. During the surgery, an incision is made from hipbone to hipbone in order for the surgeon to adjust the tissue in the abdomen area. The procedure is usually performed in conjunction with liposuction in order to ensure a total body contour adjustment.
