Get Ready for Summer: 3 Body Contouring Options to Consider
Summer is a time to soak up the sun in your bikini, but winter may have taken a toll on your body. Between less exercise and holiday meals, you may not be in the shape you want to be for the hot weather.
If diet and exercise aren’t enough, Dr. Anthony N. Dardano provides various body contouring techniques to get you ready for summer quickly. He’s an experienced plastic surgeon providing TempSure® for noninvasive body contouring and liposuction as a surgical option.
What is body contouring?
Body contouring is a field that focuses on altering the body’s shape and contours through surgical and nonsurgical approaches. The goal of body contouring is to eliminate stubborn fat pockets and excess skin that’s resistant to exercise and dieting.
Many people consider body contouring after significant weight loss and pregnancy. Both leave the body with excess areas of skin and fat that are difficult to eliminate.
The primary treatment areas for body contouring include the breasts, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms. Ideal candidates for body contouring are close to their ideal weight, have realistic expectations, and are in good health.
Three options to consider for summer
With summer coming in just a few months, it’s the right time to start focusing on your body. If you’re not happy with how you look, body contouring is a quick and efficient way to get stunning results.
We offer various forms of body contouring, but three major ones to consider just in time for summer include:
1. Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a machine to melt away stubborn fat, which is then removed through a suction cannula. Liposuction is highly effective at removing fat, and we use it wherever there are excess pockets of fat.
2. Tummy tuck
A tummy tuck is a procedure we use to eliminate fat pockets and excess skin from the abdomen. There are several forms, with the most common being a standard abdominoplasty.
During the procedure, Dr. Dardano removes excess skin and fat from around the abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles, resulting in a sculpted appearance after recovery.
3. Breast augmentation
Breasts often sag after significant weight loss or pregnancy, which isn’t appealing to women in bathing suits. A breast augmentation is a way to improve symmetry and size, while also lifting the breasts to where they should be on the chest.
We can use implants for a more symmetrical appearance or provide a breast reduction and lift for larger-than-normal breasts to complement the rest of your body.
You may choose one or more of these procedures based on your body and goals. Dr. Dardano offers his expert opinion after discussing what you’d like to see in time for warmer weather.
Do I have other options?
You have several options for body contouring procedures. Some people only want certain areas corrected, while others take a full-body approach for even results.
Moms who don’t want any more kids may want to consider a mommy makeover just in time for summer. Sagging breasts, a protruding tummy, and love handles are part of being a mom – but they don’t have to be.
A mommy makeover focuses on restoring your body after having kids, often including liposuction, a tummy tuck, breast lifts, and thigh or arm lifts to remove excess skin and give you a toned look.
If you don’t want to go the surgical route, we also offer nonsurgical body contouring with the TempSure FlexSure machine. We utilize radiofrequency energy to gently and comfortably heat unwanted fat cells.
Over time, the body eliminates damaged fat cells, giving you a more sculpted appearance without the downtime of surgery.
