Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does body contouring include?
Body contouring includes a variety of procedures that can help you achieve your desired body shape. These procedures can be surgical, like liposuction or a tummy tuck, or minimally invasive, like Renuvion skin tightening. The best options for you will depend on your specific goals and the areas you'd like to address.
Can body contouring help eliminate loose skin on my upper arms?
Yes, body contouring can address loose skin on the upper arms. An arm lift, also known as a brachioplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms. It results in a more toned and defined appearance.
Can body contouring help me eliminate fat in areas where diet and exercise haven't worked?
Body contouring can be a great option for targeting stubborn fat that doesn't respond to diet and exercise alone. Liposuction is a common procedure that removes unwanted fat deposits from areas like the thighs, abdomen, hips, and flanks.
Does liposuction destroy fat cells?
Yes, liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the treated areas. However, it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the remaining fat cells from enlarging.
Is there a minimally invasive option for body contouring?
Yes, we offer minimally invasive options like Renuvion skin tightening. This treatment uses RF energy to heat and contract skin and tissue. It results in tighter, smoother skin with minimal downtime compared to traditional surgery.
Are there any risks associated with body contouring?
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with body contouring. These can include infection, bleeding, scarring, and changes in skin sensation. Dr. Bartholomew will discuss these risks with you in detail and take every precaution to minimize them.
