About Body
Contouring Surgery and Body Contouring
Procedures
Referring to a group of cosmetic
and plastic surgery
procedures, body
contouring involves
sculpting of the body and reshape particular body
parts according to the desires and needs of the patient. Because
extensive weight loss causes excess fats to hang and skin to loosen,
body reshaping becomes necessary. Through these procedures, excess fats
in the body and skins that are unresponsive to exercise and diet can be
easily and effectively eliminated with the help of a certified plastic surgeon.
Among the procedures included in body
contouring are buttocks
augmentation, buttocks
lift, arm
lift, liposuction,
and abdominoplasty.
Liposuction
Liposuction
is a popular body contour
procedure that aims to
improve
the figure of the body by removing excess fats from particular areas.
It makes use of a suction to eliminate the pockets of fat deposits in
the body. Functioning either like a vacuum or a large syringe, the
suction device is placed through an incision in the body where fat
tissues are suck out.
Lilpo
from liposuction
comes from the Greek word lipos
which means fat.
In medicine, liposuction is also called suction lipectomy and lipoplasty.
Note that
this
surgical
procedure is
never, in any
way, an
alternative to weight loss for overweight individuals.
Abdominoplasty
More popularly known as tummy tuck,
abdominoplasty
is a surgical
procedure that involves
tightening the tummy
after a significant amount
of weight loss, improving the appearance and the contour of the
patient’s stomach and waist. It aims to remove the excess
fats
and skin from the stomach area, resulting to a more tightened abdominal
wall muscles. If you want to trim down the protrusion of the lower- and
mid-sections of your tummy, then this body contour procedure is
definitely for you!
Buttocks
Augmentation
Buttocks
augmentation
is a cosmetic
surgical procedure
that
involves
implanting artificial fats into the buttocks to make it appear uplifted
and fuller. It also aims to increase the shape and the size of a
person’s behind for health or aesthetic
purposes. During this
surgical process, the patient undergoes general anesthesia –
either below the buttock crease or at the upper thigh –
before an
incision is made. A pocket where the implants are to be inserted is
then created. Depending on the surgeon’s decision, the
implants
are placed either over or under the muscle. On some instances, this
procedure is performed together with liposuction.
Buttocks
Lift
In a buttocks lift cosmetic
procedure, the surgical
removal of excess
skin fat around the hip area is performed. It is often done in
conjunction with a thigh lift that aims to remove the fatty section of
the thighs. These procedures are ideal for individuals who have a
relatively pleasing upper body and in a good shape but have excess fats
or skin in the thigh or butt area. They are particularly useful after a
massive weight loss episode, such as after undergoing gastric bypass
operation.
Buttocks
lift surgery
promises tighter and more attractive
buttocks
skin, improved contour of the
behind, and reduced irregularities
in the
surface of the butt skin.
Arm
Lift
Do you have
annoyingly loose skin on your upper arms? Does it hang and
sag every time you raise your arms? Loose upper arm skin tends to
develop after a significant amount of weight loss. If you used to be
obese or overweight and you were able to reduce your weight and trim
your figure, chances are, the fats on your upper arm would go away, but
the skin will not; thus, the development of loose skin and the need for
arm lift
surgery.
Also called brachioplasty, arm
lift is
a surgical procedure that
tightens the skin on your upper arm, eliminating the stretch due to
weight loss and making it firmer and more attractive.
