Body Contouring Specialist in Madison MS

Body contouring is a procedure designed to reshape areas of the body. This can be done by means of a medical procedure or non-invasive technologies. It can be procedures to eliminate excess fat, get rid of extra skin, or reshape or contour a specific area.

Body contouring is not designed to help you lose weight. Its purpose is to help shape your body by targeting areas that are very difficult to impact with diet and exercise. It can also be used to correct sagging skin that has resulted from excessive weight loss.

Body sculpting and body contouring are often used interchangeably. These are used to describe a wide range of aesthetic procedures designed to improve the shape and appearance of the body. Multiple techniques can be done to achieve aesthetic goals.

Body contouring most often refers to the use of nonsurgical procedures while body sculpting is associated with more invasive and surgical procedures.

People who have done body contouring report that they have:
• More defined and shaped body parts
• Smoother skin
• Younger and thinner appearance
• Symptomatic improvement
• These are all helpful for self-esteem and overall attitude.

In general, body contouring is healthy in many ways. With non-surgical body contouring, there are very few side effects or complications. Side effects and complications that can be associated with non-surgical body contouring include:

• Red skin
• Hives or rash
• Swelling
• Pain or soreness
• Unsatisfactory results and the need for repeat sessions

The results from body contouring procedures can last for many years. To keep your results, you need to maintain stable body weight and stay physically fit. There are times when you may require more body contouring services. These will vary on your situation. As you age your body changes and your skin can become looser. Fat can continue to develop as your metabolism changes. Some lifestyle choices may change over time. All of these contribute to changes in appearance and in your body contour.

You can reasonably expect your body contouring results to last about 6-12 months. Body contouring is designed to kill fat cells and tighten your skin. Fat cells that are destroyed are removed from the body, never to return. The remaining fat cells can still become larger if a healthy diet isn’t maintained.

Skin care is also important to maintain the work that has been done. After the treatment, you should avoid chemical-based cosmetics and avoid excess sun exposure. Sunscreen and moisturizers are very helpful in keeping the skin tight and young looking.

In a time when instant gratification is the most desirable, waiting for results can feel frustrating. Waiting several weeks for the outcome of a body contouring treatment may not seem ideal. But the results are definitely worth the wait. If you have been trying to get rid of stubborn fat with diet and exercise and can’t, then waiting a few weeks is still worth it. Dramatic improvements can happen with body contouring that diet and exercise can fail to achieve.
