What Is Body Contouring? - Thursday, April 10, 2008

Body contouring, sometimes known as liposculpture, is the correction of the body's curves by altering the distribution of fat and skin in key locations. Some plastic surgeons will use the term "body contouring" to describe liposuction, because liposuction removes unwanted fat from some areas of the body, but true body contouring goes far beyond that. Body contouring may also involve lifts--abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck), or other body lifts, such as thigh lifts, or arm lifts, for example--if your body also has surplus or sagging skin. It can involve techniques like endermologie that reduce the uneven microcontouting of your body caused by cellulite. It can also involve the augmentation of breasts or their reduction, or their reshaping with a breast lift.

To learn more about what actual body contouring means, please contact the Centre, P.C. today to set up your initial consultation.
