New Jersey Body Contouring Before and Afters

Body Contouring

The goal of body contouring surgery is to create balance and an aesthetically pleasing appearance in specific areas of the body. Body contouring surgery is not a good alternative to healthy diet and exercise, but can eliminate areas of excess fat, loose skin, and loosened muscles that are resistant to weight loss and exercise strategies. Body contouring procedures can enhance the shape and size of the thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, upper arms, chest, and chin area.

New Jersey body contouring techniques

There are typically three goals involved in body contouring surgery: tighten loose skin, remove excess fat, and tighten up loose muscles. Body contouring surgery procedures employ liposuction techniques to remove excess fat from the treatment area through a long skinny tube via a suction devise. Loose skin is excised and re-sectioned in order to provide firmness in the area, and loose muscles in the treatment area may also be tightened. Body contouring surgery may include one or all of the functions of this type of procedure. Specific body contouring surgery options include abdominoplasty, butt lift, thigh lift, brachioplasty, breast reduction, chin lift, and more.

Ideal candidate for New Jersey body contouring surgery

Good candidates for body contouring procedures are patients who are in good physical and emotional health and have a good understanding of what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. Many people who undergo gastric bypass surgery pursue body contouring procedures to compliment the results of their primary surgery.

Prospective body contouring patients should speak to their surgeon in detail about the risks and benefits associated with procedures of interest. A patient should also inform their surgeon about their full medical history, including current use of medications and supplements, in order to mitigate any related risks. A good candidate for body contouring surgery should have a clear understanding of what results they might achieve through their desired procedure.

Body contouring procedure

Body contouring procedures are performed by a qualified board certified plastic surgeon in a hospital, surgical center or doctor’s office. Body contouring surgery can be done on an outpatient basis or may involve an overnight stay if the procedure is more complex. Most body contouring surgeons will use a general anesthetic so that their patient can sleep through the procedure. The surgery can take anywhere from two to six hours depending on the nature and complexity of the procedure.

New Jersey body contouring risks
