Body Contouring
Body contouring is a general term for
cosmetic surgery
procedures which reshape, re-sculpt or otherwise change the size, profile or parameters of the anatomy. Contouring is mostly a surgical specialty, although some non-invasive methods can also be used on some patients. Achieving excellent results for anatomical contouring requires careful planning of the exact techniques which will be used to treat specific areas of the body, as well as considerable research to determine the most effective modalities with the least amount of
risk.
Body Contouring Options
Here is a run down of many of the most common surgical contouring procedures used on cosmetic clients:
* Breast augmentation
and buttocks augmentation utilize prosthetic implants to increase the curves of the upper and lower body regions.
* Breast reduction
and buttocks reduction remove tissue in order to slim down areas of the body.
* Breast lift
and butt lift are performed to tighten and tone these common trouble spots on the anatomy.* Liposuction is used to sculpt the entire body by removing excess fatty tissue. * Tummy tucks can remove excess skin and fat from the middle of the anatomy.
Non-Surgical Body Sculpting
Diet and exercise are the most basic forms of nonsurgical body enhancement. Finding balance in life with a nutritional diet and a range of healthy physical activities is always the best method of achieving your goals. However, this all natural approach will only provide conservative results for many people. Laser treatments are used in minor body sculpting applications, but are not generally effective for large scale changes which must be made surgically. Some patients try to use
nonsurgical breast enhancement
techniques and products, including
pills,
creams
or vacuum products, such as the
BRAVA system of breast enhancement.
