It is an option to help patients improve their shape after they achieve a healthy weight. While both weight loss (bariatric) surgery and body contouring can both ultimately result in an improved appearance and enhanced self-confidence, they are very different types of procedures with very different goals. This post will help you understand these important differences so you can choose the correct path and choose the right surgeon for your needs.Another advantage of using the laser is it applies heat to the areas where treatment is done which encourage the healing. It is one of the body sculpting options which is preferred for its effectiveness and faster recovery time. This kind of liposuction uses ultrasound waves to segregate and dislodge fat before removing it. When this process is performed, the experts have an added ability to focus and sculpt the areas carefully with less bruising and swelling. This process is also used in the fat transfer to reduce fat in one body area and add volume to another.
Manipulation of the tissue is also required to encourage lymphatic circulation to reduce the fluid in the area. Only RF and IR and tissue manipulation can treat cellulite. VelaShape III is the 3rd generation FDA approved body contouring device that uses 4 mechanism of action. The IR & RF raises the temperature of the tissue in the treated area.
The category of body contouring includes both surgical and non-surgical fat removal. Of course, surgical fat removal is known as liposuction, and it involves using a tiny, narrow metal tube to break up and suction out fat cells from the target area through extremely small incisions (typically just a few millimeters long). At DAA, our own Dr. D. Scott Karempelis has been performing liposuction for over twenty years, and he also enhances the results by using SlimLipo".
CoolSculpting works by targeting and freezing fat cells, causing fat cells to die over time, keeping surrounding tissue unchanged, and naturally eliminating your dead fat cells. Generally speaking, you’ll see results from your CoolSculpting session within 2-3 weeks, though your body will continue to eliminate dead fat cells for 4-6 months. Vanquish is another outpatient procedure that uses a specialized device that hovers over your body’s problem areas and delivers Radio Frequency (RF) heat to break up fat cells while keeping surrounding tissue unchanged.
Working out and eating healthy are instrumental in living a healthy life. And while these efforts are your best bet for weight loss, they’re often not enough to eliminate body fat everywhere you want. Loose, saggy skin can also pose a problem. But plastic surgery allows you to accomplish what nature, diet, and exercise alone cannot. Through strategic body contouring procedures, an accomplished surgeon like Dr. Roach can work to smooth and sculpt your body to help attain the shape you desire. Dependent upon your desired results, you may need different procedures for various areas of your body.
Diet and exercise has a big influence in the control of both. Devices and surgery can only treat subcutaneous fat. Genetically, humans evolved to deposit fat to use as energy in times of need. In the past, we exerted ourselves to find food. Now we don’t need to do anything more than call Menulog and the food is delivered to us. Also, as we age our metabolism slows down and we retain fat more easily. For men, it is in the mid-section and for woman is around the thighs and buttocks.
The tummy tuck can help improve self-confidence and self-image by creating a firm midsection and improving the body’s silhouette. During the cosmetic procedure, the excess fat and skin that stubbornly remains in the middle and lower abdomen regions after these life events is removed. The procedure also tightens the abdominal muscles. The majority of the population has cellulite on some parts of their bodies.
What areas can we treat? Pretty much every and any part of your body. Stomach, thighs, hips etc and of course those areas that you work out to the death at the gym and never see much results from. One of the treatments we use to perform body contouring is called Radio Frequency and it’s quite relaxing. It heats up your skin to 42 degrees to melt away those unwanted bumps and lumps. These treatments also improve your collagen and elastin so the tone is improved. It’s also really good for stretch marks is well.
