Is Body Contouring Right for You?
Exploring Your Candidacy
You may be a good candidate for body contouring if pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations have left you with excess skin or pockets of stubborn fat that diet and exercise cannot get rid of. If your main concern is excess hanging skin, you will likely need a skin excision procedure.
If your primary concern is localized areas of fat (such as the arms, abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs), then you may just need liposuction. Some patients require both. The specific procedure or combination of procedures depends on multiple factors, including the location of your concerns, the degree of skin laxity, the amount of excess fat and soft tissue, and your goals. If you have only mild to moderate skin laxity with or without stubborn areas of fat, you may be a candidate for a minimally invasive skin tightening treatment called Renuvion.
This new and innovative technology uses a helium-derived RF plasma beam to tighten the skin internally, thus avoiding large incisions. Renuvion can be paired with liposuction to achieve the ideal body shape and contour you’ve always dreamed of. Renuvion can be performed in the office under local anesthesia. However, some patients may prefer to be asleep under general anesthesia for the procedure as well.
