Body Sculpting Treatment Procedure & Recovery Steps

It is a topic of many a conversation – body weight and how it never is how much it should be. It is everyone’s aim to look and feel their best selves. While many people suffer from excessive weight – that persistent accumulation of fat that sneaks up on them while they are busy leading stressful professional and personal lives or due to the genes and hormonal changes which they are blessed with or on account of side effects of a medication – not many people are doing the right thing to get rid of the excess fat. However, it is also sometimes not in an individual’s control how and why they put on weight and how fat accumulates. And that is when body sculpting comes into picture.

What Is Body Sculpting?

Body sculpting is a procedure that alters the shape of a person’s body. This procedure is used to target the cellulite and fat which is spread across the body with the purpose of giving the body a more defined and lean look. Body sculpting is essentially a cosmetic fat reduction procedure which can be invasive or non-invasive.

If the fat is unevenly distributed along the body, a body sculpting surgery would be the best solution. In most body sculpting procedures, the doctor can reshape almost all the areas of the body.  On account of the recent advents in technology, the body sculpting procedure uses the latest techniques to eliminate or reduce excess skin and fat including that which remains after previously obese individuals have lost a significant amount of weight, including the thighs, chest, upper arms and torso.

At Apollo Cosmetic Clinics, our doctors follow a safe, thorough approach to all procedures and understand the concerns of all our patients. For fat reducing surgery, Apollo Cosmetic Clinics offers the best in class service.

What Are The Types Of  Body Sculpting Producers?

As mentioned, body sculpting processes can be surgical or non-surgical. With today’s latest and up-to-date technologies, most cosmetic centres – have many types of body sculpting options available. The best type of body sculpting is dependent on the patient’s current body shape, goals, and preferences. Whether they want a non-surgical or surgical option, at Apollo Cosmetic Clinics, clients are offered natural results that enhance and improve their body shape.

The different types of body sculpting procedures include:

Fat Freezing

This technique freezes fat. It is a non-invasive surgery which does not use needles, anaesthesia or other instruments of invasion. It allows the cosmetologist to target specific areas of fat and perform a process which freezes the fat cells. The purpose of freezing the cells is that they collapse and die after which the body eliminates them naturally in the following weeks thus helping the body assume a desired shape. It is a procedure which requires no downtime and usually allows the patient to resume work right after.

Liposuction

When body sculpting targets large areas of unwanted fat, liposuction is a useful procedure. It can also be used to target smaller and more delicate areas of fat. With liposuction, surgeons at Apollo Cosmetic Clinics contour the body by carefully removing fat in a customized fashion. It allows the surgeon to create contour as he removes the fat from the body. With advancements in fat reduction surgeries, liposuction is no longer an aggressive procedure to remove fat. It is in fact minimally invasive and gentle on the body.

Laser Liposuction

A specific type of liposuction, in this a laser is used to liquefy fat cells in order to remove them more gently and thoroughly. A thin tube takes the fat out of the body. Among other benefits of laser, liposuction is the fact that it uses heat on the areas we are treating which ultimately promotes healing.

Vaser Liposuction

Another alternative to traditional fat reducing surgery is VASER Liposuction where ultrasound waves are used to break up and dislodge fat before removing it. It is gaining popularity on account of its effectiveness, combined with quicker recovery time. A surgeon performing this procedure has the added ability to target and sculpt areas carefully, with less swelling and bruising. It allows for fat transfer when a patient can reduce fat in one area and add volume to another.

VelaShape

Given over a series of treatment, this is a non-invasive body sculpting option which helps in cellulite-reducing and body shaping. Unlike liposuction, the results of VelaShape are seen over time i.e. over a period of 6-8 treatment sessions.

Fat Transfer

It is used for several different types of body contouring options. Liposuction is used to remove fat from areas such as the abdomen and thighs and the fat is processed and injected into areas where the patient desires more volume. It is especially used for contouring the breasts and butt.

Lifts

There are a variety of surgical lift procedures that can be used for body contouring. Lifts are particularly effective when a patient has loose skin, instead of or in addition to excess pockets of fat. Most commonly, people go in for breast lifts, butt lifts and arm lifts. Depending on the patient’s goals, a surgical procedure like a lift may give more significant results than a non-surgical procedure. At Apollo Cosmetic Clinics, we encourage patients to come in for a private consultation to determine which procedure suits them the best.

Tummy tuck

Also, a cosmetic surgical procedure, a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, combines the removal of excess fat in the midsection of the abdomen along with the surgical tightening of the abdominal muscles. This procedure is usually performed to make the abdomen firm and smooth.

The doctor would also discuss the risks and benefits involved in the surgery.

 

What Is The Procedure Of Body Sculpting?

Usually performed under local anaesthesia, the body sculpting procedure takes about three hours to complete the procedure. The procedure starts with an incision made at the site of surgery and the excess fat is removed from that particular area using the procedure that the patient and cosmetologist agreed on. After the removal of the fat, the incisions are closed using a surgical garment to provide support and drainage.
