Body Contouring: Are You The Right Candidate?

Are you self-conscious about all the excess fat around your stomach and waistline? Or do you want to sculpt your thighs for a more toned look? Either way, you’ve probably wondered whether body contouring is right for you.

Body contouring, also known as body sculpting, is any procedure aimed at enhancing your silhouette through the removal of excess fat and skin. There are several types of body contouring procedures, including liposuction, tummy tuck, mommy makeover, Brazilian butt lift, and cellulose treatment.

You are a good candidate for body contouring if you’re healthy and have no underlying health complications. But, it’s wise to book an appointment with a plastic surgeon as they can advise you accordingly.

Here are 4 other signs that determine if you’re the right candidate for body contouring.

1. You have saggy skin after pregnancy
While pregnancy is a beautiful experience, it causes physical changes to your body, such as weight gain and an enlarged belly. You can easily lose all the excess baby weight after pregnancy, but this leaves you with excess skin, especially around your midsection.

Luckily, a mommy makeover procedure can help firm and tighten your skin, returning it to its original shape.

2. You have excess skin after significant weight loss
Losing weight requires patience, hard work, and dedication to achieve your desired results. However, no matter how hard you exercise, saggy skin may not respond well. Thankfully, body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck can help you get rid of excess skin after significant weight loss.

3. You have stubborn fat in certain areas
Most people struggle with losing fat under their arms and on their bellies. Hence, when your diet, nutrition, and exercise plan isn’t getting rid of your stubborn fat, you can get body contouring procedures such as an arm lift or a tummy tuck.

4. You’re close to your ideal weight
Body contouring procedures like liposuction and tummy tucks are suitable for individuals within their goal weight or near it. But, you’ll need to maintain a well-balanced diet and exercise often after your treatment, to maintain your results.
