About Body Sculpting

Overview

Many cosmetic seeking patients struggle with unwanted, diet- and exercise-resistant fat in specific areas of their body. Liposuction has remained a popular choice for safely and permanently reducing fat and refining body contours. However, nonsurgical or minimally invasive alternatives to liposuction have become increasingly popular in recent years. These body contouring treatments often require no incision or anesthesia and offer less downtime. Explore the differences between these fat reduction approaches to determine which option may be best for you.

Non Surgical
Non-surgical and minimally invasive methods for reducing fat include utilizing technology that employs either heat or cooling, or administering an injected medication to diminish fat cells. Although these treatments do not serve as a substitute for liposuction, they offer viable alternatives for individuals who are hesitant or unable to undergo surgical procedures. Non-surgical fat reduction techniques encompass a range of modalities such as ultrasound, radio frequency, infrared light, vacuum massage, and injectable medications.
 
The subsequent procedures outlined are commonly employed non-surgical methods for reducing fat, each elaborated upon individually on its own page: BodyTone, BodySculpt, BodyTite, CoolSculpting, TruSculpt iD, SculpSure, Liposonix, Vanquish, Kybella, EmSculpt NEO, Cellfina, VelaShape III, UltraShape Power, and ThermiSmooth.
Surgical
If you are thinking about getting liposuction, you might be interested to know that there are multiple types of approaches available. Due to advancements in aesthetic technology, there are now more choices than ever for eliminating stubborn fat and reaching your desired body shape. Liposuction offers various methods to help you achieve your dream physique. It is important to explore all of the options before deciding on a procedure. With the advancements in aesthetic devices and techniques, you now have a variety of options for achieving your desired body shape through liposuction.
 
Tumescent Liposuction uses a special solution to liquefy fat tissue for easier removal and includes lidocaine, epinephrine, and saline. A cannula is used to break up and suction away the fat by the surgeon. This method reduces bleeding and bruising and can be combined with other treatments for better results, making it suitable for most cosmetic concerns.
 
Smartlipo, or laser-assisted liposuction, uses laser energy to break down fat cells and tighten the skin, providing precise results with minimal bleeding.
 
VASER Liposuction, an ultrasound-assisted liposuction, targets fat tissue specifically and minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, making it effective for breaking up dense fat in both large and small areas.
Which one is best?
Liposuction is a good choice for removing larger fat deposits and can enhance your overall figure. However, it comes with a higher cost and more health risks compared to noninvasive procedures.
 
Noninvasive fat reduction may be more suitable if you are already at your desired weight and have good skin elasticity, but results may be less noticeable and require multiple treatments.
