BODY CONTOURING
Body contouring or body sculpting is a cosmetic procedure that is done to reshape and tone the body by removing excess fat and skin. This can be done through
liposuction, tummy tucks, or other surgical procedures. Body contouring can also be used to remove loose, saggy skin after weight loss or pregnancy. The procedure is usually done on the stomach, thighs, buttocks, arms, and neck.
WHY THIS PROCEDURE?
It is typically done to improve the appearance of the body and boost self-confidence.
The areas targeted in body contouring include –
- Back Liposuction
- Arms Liposuction
- Buttocks Liposuction
- Blanks and belly Liposuction
- Chin and neck Liposuction
- Thighs Liposuction
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE PROCEDURE?
During body sculpting, excess fat and skin are removed through liposuction, tummy tucks, or other surgical procedures. The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia and requires incisions to be made in the treatment area. After the procedure, the patient will need to recover and may experience swelling, bruising, and pain. It is important to follow the post-operative instructions given by the surgeon to ensure proper healing.
