Types Of Body Sculpting

Liposuction

One of the most popular surgeries today is liposuction because it can help get rid of unwanted deposits of fat that accumulate in areas, like your belly, arms, thighs, and buttocks – the type of fat that refuses to leave no matter what you do. During the procedure, a thin instrument called a cannula is used to pinpoint certain locations and suck out unwanted fat like a small vacuum. It helps give your body more definition and adds some deeper contours to different areas improving your overall appearance.  To benefit the most from a liposuction procedure, you must be fairly close to your goal weight because liposuction is not a weight loss procedure and cannot remove large quantities of fat during one session.

Tummy Tuck

The medical term for a tummy tuck is abdominoplasty which is a surgery used for cosmetic purposes that shapes and tones areas in the abdomen to make it flatter and tighter. This surgery works well if you are dealing with sagging or loose skin and weak abdominal muscles caused by a large weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. During this surgery, excess fat is suctioned out of your midsection with liposuction, extra skin is removed, and it may also require tightening your abdominal muscles.  Tummy tuck surgery helps create a more aesthetically pleasing look, but it also helps enhance core strength, posture, and other functionalities.

Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) can enhance the shape and size of your buttocks and improve the overall appearance of your backside.  BBL surgery takes advantage of your own fat instead of using implants made of foreign material decreasing the risk of complications. Fat is collected using liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips. After this excess fat is removed, it is carefully purified and injected into strategic locations in the buttocks to give them a plumper and more lifted look. When you undergo BBL surgery, you get a two-for-one benefit in that the liposuction procedure slims down areas where previous fat deposits resided, and your buttocks are substantially enhanced.

Breast Lift

A mastopexy (breast lift) can enhance the shape of your breasts and where they sit on your chest. If age, weight loss, or pregnancy have relocated your breasts so they droop or hang lower than they are supposed to, a breast lift may be a great option for you. A breast lift can return your breasts to their rightful position, however, it does not address any loss of volume,  so women often pair this surgery with breast implants for optimal results.

Thigh Lift

Many people who have lost a lot of weight or are getting older begin to notice sagging skin and fat deposits on their thighs. A thigh lift can address these concerns and deliver smoother, more toned, and defined thighs, enhancing the look of the entire lower body area.

Arm Lift

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, helps improve the look of your upper arms by removing extra skin and fat. It’s an effective way to contour your upper body and address issues such as “bat wings” or flabby upper arms. An arm lift can help you achieve more sculpted arms and the appearance you desire.

Evolve

Three Evolve treatments target common body issues that many of us experience. You can choose to do them alone or combine them to achieve your desired outcome.

• The Evolve Tite treatment uses targeted radiofrequency to help reshape and contour your body by delivering heat energy deep in the layers of the skin and stimulating the production of collagen. This collagen helps to tighten and smooth your skin, giving you a more toned appearance;
• Evolve Trim targets stubborn fat deposits and cellulite. It works by reaching the deepest layers of fat under the skin and using a combination of heat and a negative tissue vacuum to break down and eliminate fat cells. Evoke Trim helps reduce stubborn fat deposits and improve the appearance of cellulite. It’s designed to give you a more sculpted and smooth look without the need for surgery;
• Evolve Tone uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to give your muscles a boost and works by causing involuntary muscle contractions, which increase their strength and enhance their appearance.

BodyFX

BodyFX is a great option for those who are looking to tighten up their skin and get rid of some unwanted fat, and cellulite. This pleasant procedure uses a combination of massage and radio frequency energy to perform its magic and can work wonders on the flanks, legs, stomach, and buttocks.

Forma

The Forma treatment for facial contouring uses heat and radio-frequency to boost collagen production and helps to lift, tighten, and contour your skin, giving it a more youthful and defined appearance.

BodyTite™

BodyTite is used to contour your body in a less invasive way and uses a unique blend of technologies termed RFAL (radio-assisted liposuction) to rid your body of unwanted fat and make your skin tighter. It gives your body a more sculpted and toned look without using surgical liposuction.

PHYSIQ

This modern and advanced treatment uses a combination of heat and electrical pulses to help improve and shape areas of the body that haven’t shown much improvement despite efforts with diet and exercise. PHYSIQ can be used on various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, love handles, thighs, inner thigh area, buttocks, arms, hips, and back enhancing your natural appearance.

QWO

Collagenase clostridium histolyticum, the active ingredient in QWO treatments, is a prescription medication used to treat cellulite dimples by injecting it directly into the affected areas. The medication works by breaking down the fibrous bands and collagen that are responsible for causing the skin to dimple and helps improve the appearance of your skin by redistributing fat cells leaving an even smoother texture.

Morpheus8

This combination treatment is a fan favorite and uses microneedling and radio frequency to help restore the elasticity of your skin and visibly tighten it. Morpheus8 is effective in reducing moderate and deep wrinkles as well as the appearance of other cosmetic imperfections. During the treatment, the radiofrequency energy helps to break down and remove unwanted fat, while the microneedling helps promote the rejuvenation of the skin’s layers. Morpheus8 can be used on the face and body, and it is safe to use regardless of your skin type.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting, also known as cryolipolysis, is a different type of body sculpting using freezing. This body sculpting technique uses controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells, and the body then naturally eliminates these dead cells over time. Many cosmetic practices no longer perform this procedure due to potential unexpected side effects. About 1 in 3,000 women experience a condition known as paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), which is also known as “fat cell hypertrophy” or “rebound fat.” Instead of the fat cells getting smaller, they actually get bigger. This can cause the treated area to appear noticeably larger and out of proportion.

Body Sculpting through Exercise and Diet

While cosmetic surgery and non-surgical body sculpting procedures can enhance what nature gave you, it is still important to remember that a healthy lifestyle is the key to achieving and keeping a toned, sculpted, body.

You need to do your part by making strength training, aerobic exercise, and a healthy diet a part of your daily routine and then you can take advantage of these different procedures to polish off all of your hard work. We are fortunate today to have accessibility to all these different options that can improve our appearance and boost our confidence.

Whether you choose liposuction to reduce fat, a tummy tuck to flatten your abdomen, or non-surgical procedures like Morpheus8 or BodyFX to achieve your desired results, rest assured there is a body sculpting procedure that will help you achieve the results you want.
