Body Contouring Before & Afters
Body Contouring and Liposuction
Body contouring in a broad sense, encompasses the entire spectrum of surgical procedures performed to reshape and reconfigure the body.
Liposuction and body contouring is done by means of removing or adding fat or by lifting and excising loose, sagging skin. Often body contouring is performed as a part of the "mommy makeover" for woman after having children.
Body contouring can be the solution to the problem of hanging skin and poorly distributed body fat in men and women who have lost significant amounts of weight with dieting or after gastric banding or gastric bypass surgery. Body contouring surgery, including Liposuction and Tummy Tuck Procedures may be the only way for a person to gain the desired improvement in body proportions when ideal proportions do not exist naturally. is the procedure that allows for a natural enhancement of buttocks or of any other body region that is disproportionately flat or small. Even when the body proportions are good, a desired athletic physique may not be within reach naturally without the help of procedures like abdominal and pectoral etching which create better body definitions worthy of all the sacrifice made at the gym.
Liposuction and Fat Grafting can improve the shape of your body
Both thin as well as heavy people can be plagued by poorly proportioned body areas such as proverbial "saddle bags," "thunder thighs," and the "abdominal pouch." In these cases the areas out of proportion can be contour reduced to achieve a better overall appearance. Of course, sometimes the improvement in proportions is achieved by a process of addition rather than by subtraction. This is often the case for people desiring the correction of flat, unflattering buttocks. Fat micro grafting is a safe and effective procedure to achieve your desired results.
During your plastic surgery consultation, you and I will discuss in detail your goals for body contouring. After a complete review of your medical history and after an examination of the regions of the body you with to see improved, I will make recommendation regarding the surgical options that will meet your stated goals. My office staff and I will instruct you on how to prepare for surgery and things to do and not do in the post-operative period to maximize your results.
