It is important to note that body contouring is not only for people who have lost a great deal of weight. The concept and practice of body contouring is not limited to weight loss. In fact, it is always good to maintain a healthy body weight as well. Body contouring is a procedure where the skin on various portions of the body are tightened, and the contours of the skin are altered by the removal of unwanted fat. This results in a smoother, more natural look to the skin.
Body contouring after major weight loss surgery includes a long list of procedures from which the patient can decide, such as neck lift and breast lift, face-lift, upper or lower lip lift, thigh lift or fat grafting, tummy tuck and upper or lower back lift. Liposuction procedures, which include both vertical and horizontal, are done under general anesthesia and allow patients to recover very quickly. Patients do not require weeks or months of recovery, but in some cases, such as in the case of vertical liposuction, patients need to take several months. A large percentage of patients undergo more than one procedure, and this increases the chances of multiple incisions leading to scars and infection. As such, it is wise to carefully outline the surgical plan in advance.
One of the most common cosmetic procedures is liposuction. There are two basic types of liposuction - submuscular and suprasolid. Submuscular uses a vacuum to remove fatty deposits under the skin around the fat cells. Suprasolid uses a suction pump to liquefy the fat directly below the skin. Both types use local anesthesia.
Body contouring surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, involves making drastic changes to your diet and lifestyle. In order to successfully lose weight after anorexia and obesity, you will need to adopt a special low-calorie, low-fat, high-fiber and low-carbohydrate diet. You will also need to increase your physical activity to at least a moderate level, as you will be required to do exercises to burn calories, even after you have reached your goal weight.
One of the most popular areas for plastic surgeons to work on is the upper arms. The upper arm includes the shoulder, the triceps and the biceps. This area is also prone to excess skin that can contribute to poor posture, poor body alignment, drooping eyelids and sagging breasts. In addition, there is a loss of muscle bulk along with excess fat deposits. This can lead to loss of balance and postural problems in patients.
Upper body contouring can be done through liposuction and brachioplasty, which are cosmetic plastic surgery procedures. Liposuction is the process of removing excess fat from areas on the body that has a large volume of it. Brachioplasty is the process of removing a considerable amount of skin from the breast area, as well as other areas. In general, liposuction and brachioplasty are performed on a patient who is in fairly good health, although patients who are obese, have large breasts or are pregnant may be advised against these procedures, as well as patients with significant amounts of excess skin or fat tissue.
Two of the most common areas for plastic surgery in the upper arms are triceps extensions and infraspinatus. Triceps extensions usually take place under the bicep muscle and in front of the shoulder. During this procedure, doctors will make deep incisions under the biceps muscle and then lift them up to give a more sculpted look. Infraspinatus refers to tendon insertions under the arms. Most patients are given local anesthesia and usually an anesthetic cream is used to reduce swelling and numb the area.
One of the most common procedures used to contour the lower body is a body contouring liposuction. During liposuction, doctors will use a small tube to inject the desired amount of liquid directly into the unwanted fat pockets. In order to do this, many patients must lie down on a table while the liquid is injected by the tube. Most patients are instructed to leave the room while the procedure is being done, but are allowed to take occasional bathroom breaks. The liposuction can last up to three hours, depending on the amount of fat removed.
