The Procedure: From Flab to Fab
Body contouring is a comprehensive set of surgical procedures designed to enhance and reshape the body's contours by removing excess skin and fat. Here's an overview of what your body contouring procedure might entail:
1. Abdominoplasty, or Tummy Tuck
This procedure focuses on the abdominal area. It involves removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen, tightening the abdominal muscles, and creating a flatter, more toned midsection.
2. Liposuction
Liposuction is often used with other body contouring procedures or as a standalone treatment. It removes localized fat deposits from various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and neck.
3. Arm Lift, or Brachioplasty
An arm lift targets the upper arms, commonly known as "bat wings." It removes excess skin and fat, resulting in firmer, youthful-looking arms.
4. Thigh Lift, or Thighplasty
Thighplasty addresses sagging skin and fat in the thighs. The procedure can be tailored to target the inner thighs, outer thighs, or both, providing a more sculpted appearance.
5. Body Lift
A body lift, often performed after significant weight loss, comprehensively addresses the midsection and lower body. It combines elements of abdominoplasty, thighplasty, and buttock lift to achieve a more balanced and contoured look.
6. Buttock Lift, or Gluteoplasty
A buttock lift reshapes and lifts the buttocks by removing excess skin and fat. It can create a more youthful and shapely appearance.
These body contouring procedures are highly customizable, allowing Dr. Rios at the Rios Center to tailor a treatment plan to your unique needs and goals. Whether you want to refine your abdomen, thighs, arms, or multiple areas, body contouring can help you achieve a more sculpted and refined body silhouette.
