BODY CONTOURING

Weight loss has many benefits. But after any substantial amount of weight loss due to weight loss surgery and/or lifestyle changes, the skin and tissues often lack the elasticity to conform to the reduced body size. Surgical body contouring following major weight loss removes excess sagging skin and fat while improving the shape of the underlying support tissue. The result is a better-proportioned appearance with smoother contours.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Body contouring, or body sculpting, refers to surgical procedures that improve the appearance of skin and tissue after major weight loss.

Body contouring surgeries can include panniculectomy (removal of excess skin in the lower abdominal region), abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), liposuction and excisional body lifts, such as a lower body lift, arm lift (brachioplasty), inner thigh lift or buttock augmentation.

A breast lift or breast augmentation can help restore breast shape or remove excess fat and sagging skin after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

How To Prepare For Body Contouring?

Consult your doctor to make sure you’re physically fit to undergo surgery.

Patients undergoing a breast lift, also known as breast augmentation, must get a mammogram.

Patients over the age of 40 must get an electrocardiogram to ensure that their cardiovascular health is not affected.

To stop letting nicotine get in the way of surgical outcomes, you should quit smoking well before surgery.

Blood pressure, temperature, and pulse rate are monitored more than once on the day before surgery. Stop eating or drinking for at least 8 hours before surgery till the day of operation.

If you’re on birth control pills, tell your doctor. Any medications you’re taking should be informed to the doctor before the surgery.

Body Contouring Techniques

Body contouring procedures are divided into two categories. These are the following:

Non-surgical

A lipolysis is a non-surgical approach to body contouring. Lipolysis breaks down fat cells, reducing the volume of fatty tissue. Lipolysis can be done in a variety of ways. These are the following:

In the laser lipolysis this method, the surgeon utilises a laser to break up the fat cells.
Lipolysis via injection in which the surgeon injects deoxycholic acid to cause lipolysis.
Cryolipolysis is a process in which freezing temperatures destroy fat cells.
Ultrasound waves are used to target fat cells in radiofrequency lipolysis.

Surgical

The following are some surgical methods for body contouring:

Liposuction is a treatment in which the surgeon suctions fat cells out of the body.
Tucks and lifts are cosmetic operations that remove excess skin and fat from the body. Breast lifts, facelifts, stomach tucks, and double chin surgery are among the procedures available.
