What is Body Contouring?

Refining Your Silhouette with Advanced Techniques

Body contouring, also known as body sculpting, encompasses a range of surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to reshape specific areas of your body. These procedures target unwanted fat deposits, loose skin, or a combination of both, to achieve a more toned and sculpted appearance. Aesthetic plastic surgery offers a comprehensive range of aesthetic services, including body sculpting, body contouring, skin rejuvenation, and facial sculpting, aimed at enhancing external beauty and overall body transformation. Modern technologies play a key role in body contouring. Liposuction and liposculpture use cannulas (thin tubes) to suction out excess fat cells, while fat transfer utilizes liposuctioned fat for volume enhancement in other areas. For skin tightening, some procedures leverage radiofrequency or ultrasound energy to target fat cells and stimulate collagen production. Surgical techniques like tummy tucks and lifts involve removing excess skin and tightening underlying tissues for a dramatic improvement in body definition.

Breast Lift

A breast lift surgically addresses sagging breasts caused by age, weight loss, or pregnancy. It removes excess skin and tightens underlying tissues to create a perkier, more youthful appearance.

Unique Benefits of a Breast Lift at Gould Plastic Surgery:

  • Improved Shape and Symmetry: Dr. Gould can correct asymmetry and create a more even, balanced breast shape.
  • Multiple Techniques: Depending on your needs, Dr. Gould may use various lift techniques to achieve optimal results with minimal scarring.
  • Combined Procedures: A breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation for a more comprehensive breast rejuvenation.

High-Def Liposuction

High-Def liposuction, also known as VASER liposuction, is a targeted fat removal technique that sculpts and defines specific muscle groups, including the abdominal muscles. It goes beyond traditional liposuction by removing fat while preserving underlying tissues, creating a more toned and chiseled appearance.

Unique Benefits of High-Def Liposuction at Gould Plastic Surgery:

  • Enhanced Muscle Definition: High-Def liposuction reveals and defines underlying muscles for a sculpted look, particularly in areas like the abdomen, flanks, and arms.
  • Smoother Results: This advanced technique minimizes skin irregularities, resulting in a smoother, more contoured body shape.

Faster Recovery: Compared to traditional liposuction, High-Def liposuction may offer a quicker recovery time due to less tissue trauma.

Fat Grafting

Fat grafting is a procedure that utilizes your own body fat for natural volume enhancement. Liposuction first removes fat from unwanted areas like the abdomen or thighs. The fat is then processed and strategically injected into areas like the buttocks, breasts, or hands for a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Unique Benefits of Fat Grafting at Gould Plastic Surgery:

  • Natural Results: Fat grafting provides a natural and long-lasting way to add volume. Your body readily accepts fat transferred from another area, minimizing the risk of rejection.
  • Improved Contour: Fat grafting can be used to correct asymmetry or indentions in various areas of the body, creating a smoother and more balanced appearance.

Enhanced Features: This technique can be used to augment the buttocks, breasts, or hands for a more curvaceous or youthful look.

Arm Lift

An arm lift addresses sagging skin and excess fat in the upper arms. This surgical procedure removes excess tissue and tightens the underlying muscles to create a firmer, more toned appearance.

Unique Benefits of an Arm Lift at Gould Plastic Surgery:

  • Improved Confidence: By eliminating sagging skin and “bat wings,” arm lifts can boost your confidence in sleeveless clothing.
  • More Toned Arms: Dr. Gould’s techniques tighten underlying tissues for a sculpted and defined upper arm contour.

Minimal Scarring: Incisions are strategically placed for minimal visibility and optimal aesthetic outcome.

Back Lift

A back lift removes excess skin and tightens underlying tissues to improve the contour of the back. This procedure can address sagging skin, bra bulge, and uneven fat deposits for a smoother and more sculpted appearance.

Unique Benefits of a Back Lift at Gould Plastic Surgery:

  • Improved Posture: By addressing sagging skin, a back lift can improve posture and create a more youthful silhouette.
  • Enhanced Body Definition: Back lifts reveal and define the underlying muscles for a more toned and sculpted back.

Smoother Appearance: This procedure removes excess skin and reduces bra bulge, creating a smoother and more contoured back.

Non-Surgical Body Contouring

Non-surgical body contouring, including minimally invasive body contouring, utilizes advanced technologies to improve the appearance of the skin and eliminate unwanted fat deposits. While not a replacement for surgery, these procedures can offer noticeable improvements for those seeking a non-invasive option.

Common Non-Surgical Body Contouring Techniques at Gould Plastic Surgery:

  • Laser Skin Resurfacing: This treatment uses lasers to remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin. It can address wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.
  • RF Microneedling: This minimally invasive procedure uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin laxity. It can tighten loose skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture.

Body Contouring Consultation and Preparation

During your consultation for Body Contouring Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Gould will discuss your goals, body concerns, and medical history. He'll recommend the most suitable procedures to achieve your desired outcome. To prepare, gather any relevant medical records and be prepared to discuss your lifestyle habits, including medications and supplements.

Your Body Contouring Procedure

  • Liposuction and fat transfer: These procedures often utilize local anesthesia with sedation for comfort.
  • Minimally invasive options: Laser skin resurfacing and RF microneedling typically involve topical numbing cream.
  • Surgical procedures: Tummy tucks, breast lifts, and arm lifts generally require general anesthesia to ensure complete relaxation during the surgery.

The length of your body contouring procedure will also vary depending on the complexity of the techniques involved. Liposuction procedures can take one to two hours, while more extensive surgeries like tummy tucks may take several hours. Tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) are particularly effective for removing excess fat and skin, tightening the abdomen, and enhancing body curvature, especially for patients who have experienced significant weight loss or pregnancy. Dr. Gould will provide you with a more accurate estimate during your consultation.

Body Contouring Results

While you may see some initial improvement following your body contouring procedure, the most dramatic results typically become visible within a few weeks and continue to refine over the following three to six months. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial to preserving your results. This includes:

  • Balanced Diet: Eating nutritious foods helps maintain your weight and prevent fat accumulation.
  • Regular Exercise: Physical activity strengthens muscles and promotes healthy skin tone.
  • Sun Protection: Consistent use of sunscreen protects your skin from sun damage, which can accelerate aging.

Here are some things to avoid:

  • Crash Dieting: Rapid weight loss can negatively impact your skin elasticity.
  • Smoking: Smoking restricts blood flow and hinders the healing process.
  • Significant Weight Gain: Substantial weight gain can stretch out treated areas.

Body contouring procedures are not a magic bullet for weight loss, and maintaining a healthy weight is key to enjoying long-lasting results. Dr. Gould will provide specific post-operative instructions to optimize your healing and recovery.

Body Contouring Recovery, and Aftercare

Following a Body Contouring procedure, recovery times can vary significantly based on the type and extent of the treatments performed. Minimally invasive options, such as laser skin resurfacing or RF microneedling, typically require minimal downtime, allowing for a quick return to daily activities. Conversely, surgical procedures, such as liposuction, tummy tucks, or lifts, often necessitate a more extended recovery period, ranging from a few days for liposuction to several weeks or even a month for more extensive surgeries. Dr. Gould will provide personalized guidance on incision care, pain management, and the use of compression garments to support healing and minimize scarring.

Proper aftercare is essential for a successful recovery and optimal results. Dr. Gould's detailed instructions on incision care, including cleaning, dressing applications, and scar prevention techniques, should be followed diligently. Effective pain management through prescribed medications and recommended icing is crucial, as is wearing compression garments to control swelling and support the healing tissues. Maintaining good hygiene to prevent infection and attending all follow-up appointments will ensure your recovery is monitored and any concerns are promptly addressed. By adhering to these guidelines, you can enhance your recovery experience and achieve the best possible outcomes from your body contouring procedures.
