I know why you're here - "Body Contouring" caught your attention. Interesting isn't it? Technology and medical advancements have made it possible for us to be able to contour the body. In the past, for you to achieve your dream body image, you'd have to work really hard for it. Now it's easy to do so.... but is that a good thing? For some people, yes, and we are here to talk about that too... What is body contouring surgery anyway?
Definition
Body contouring encompasses a number of different surgical and non-surgical techniques to reshape almost any area of the body. Through these procedures, patients can effectively eliminate excess fat and skin that are unresponsive to diet and exercise. Some of these techniques that cosmetic surgeons as well as plastic surgeons use include liposuction, tummy tuck, and body lift surgery.
Examples of Procedures
- Arm Lift
- Bicep Implants
- Body Lift
- Butt Implants
- Calf Implants
- Pec Implants
- Thigh Lift
- Tummy Tuck
Good Candidates
Candidates for body contouring procedures should be in good overall health which means they should have no co-morbid conditions. They should also have good skin elasticity and skin thickness. Most importantly though, they should also have reasonable expectations for the outcomes. On the other hand, some body contouring techniques involve intensive surgical procedures. In such cases, candidates may have to meet additional health requirements before they can have it done.
Why Have It Done?
It is not at all uncommon for people to have problems with their weight and body shape. What's more daunting is finding the right way to lose weight effectively and healthily. These body contouring procedures then should be considered by those who have exhausted all of their options. Some surgeons, on the other hand, will also suggest that you have body contouring first and then follow up with exercise and proper diet. In this way, you are given a jumpstart. Also, you are more able to perform difficult exercise regimens with your reduced fat form.
