Your midsection can be flat and refined using the latest body contouring procedures which include liposuction and tummy tuck. Both procedures have been available for many years and are used safely and effectively by thousands of women. New technology has allowed for different techniques that improve the accuracy and reduce the pain from body contouring surgery.
Liposuction has greatly improved over the years. Using new and minimally invasive procedures, liposuction removes localized areas of fat from the body to achieve a balanced and slim appearance.
In years past, liposuction was a painful procedure involving removal of large areas of solid fat. Thankfully, new technology and different techniques improve accuracy and reduce pain. The most common techniques used today are the tumescent technique or using ultrasound imaging and laser. Body contouring surgery produces amazing results and with these improvements, liposuction is not only safer but less invasive.
Local deposits of fat can be targeted in the following areas of the body:
You are a candidate for liposuction if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and have one or more problem areas with unresponsive fat deposits that you just can’t get rid of after attempting other natural weight loss methods. Keep in mind that lipo cannot be used as a means for major weight loss.
Also called Abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck is a body contouring surgery that flattens and shapes the abdomen by removing excess fat and skin and tightening the muscles. Sometimes areas of fat or loose skin do not respond to traditional diet and exercise. In that case, you may be a candidate for a tummy tuck if you are in good physical condition and have stretched skin and muscles due to childbirth or after substantial weight loss.
The results of the tummy tuck procedure are visible immediately and will continue to improve with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
