Body Contouring Surgery: What You Need to Know?
Most men and women face undesirable changes in their appearance like stubborn fat deposits and dangling skin in certain areas of the body. This could be due to dramatic weight loss or/and lifestyle modifications that cause the skin and tissues to lose elasticity and be unable to conform to the decreased body size.
If one is looking to fine-tune or tighten their body parts like thighs, buttocks, arms, or tummy, body contouring surgery performed by Dr. Kiranmayi Atla, Best Plastic Surgeon in Faridabad at The Beauty And The Cut Clinic is an apt option that can enhance one’s body shape. However, it’s a process that requires careful planning and adequate time. Furthermore, it’s important to have a realistic outlook on what can be accomplished by the surgery.
What Is Body Contouring Surgery?
Body contouring or body sculpting refers to the medical-surgical procedures to reshape or contour different body areas. It is not a weight loss surgery rather it is performed to achieve desired body shape in targeted body areas where weight loss is not effective. People often consider it following massive weight loss that results in excess sagging skin causing symptoms like rashes to excise the extra skin and remove fat while improving the shape of the underlying support tissues. The surgery results in better-proportioned looks with smoother, refined contours.
Different surgical procedures to contour the body:
Every person has a unique goal for their body appearance. Have a look at some of the surgeries that might help one to get desired results. The surgical procedure is chosen by the surgeon based on the target body site which needs to be reshaped or contoured.
- Waist or stomach
Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery is an ideal aesthetic procedure to get a flat tummy or slimmer waist. This operation involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the belly region and even the tightening of the abdominal muscles. After significant weight loss, the surgeon may make an incision at the back to remove excess skin- a procedure called circumferential abdominoplasty.
The liposuction technique may be used alone or in combination to eliminate stubborn fat deposits in the stomach area to keep the upper and lower body areas in proportion. Another, the more reconstructive approach is a panniculectomy surgery to get rid of the pannus or apron- the excess dangling skin and tissue lying over the lower abdomen.
- Hips, thighs, or buttocks
The main surgery to contour these body areas is liposuction. Liposuction helps in the removal of diet and exercise-resistant fats present in the thighs, buttocks, or hips but does not take care of extra skin in the thighs or buttocks.
A buttock lift or gluteoplasty can help remove both loose, sagging skin and extra fat from the butt through surgical excision and liposuction. Brazilian Butt lift helps add volume to the buttocks by fat transfer.
A thigh lift surgery primarily focuses on the tightening of the skin and tissues in the inner, outer, or front thigh areas. It reshapes the thighs by reducing excess fat and skin.
- Arms
An arm lift or Brachioplasty is a cosmetic surgery to contour the under portion of the upper arm i.e. the area between the elbow and armpit, thereby treating sagging under the arm. The surgery involves the removal of excess skin by excision and fat by liposuction.
- Overall body
A body lift focuses on the removal of overall excess skin and stubborn undesirable body fat. This surgery helps reshape the upper and lower body areas to make them proportionate to the rest of the body. It may even improve cellulite, especially in cases where the candidate has lost more than 100 pounds.
Several surgeries are performed in a body lift in stages over time by the famous and best cosmetic surgeon in Faridabad, by Dr. Kiranmayi Atla at The Beauty And The Cut Clinic including liposuction. An upper body lift is done on the breast, arms, and back while a lower body lift is performed on the stomach, hips, buttocks, and thighs. In some cases, facial areas and chin are also sculpted.
