Body Contouring
Body contouring, or body sculpting, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape specific areas of the body. It helps in removing excess skin, eliminating stubborn fat deposits, and enhancing body contours to create a more toned and defined appearance.
What Body Contouring Can Address
- Extra skin or tissue – Often after significant weight loss.
- Eliminate excess fat – Targets areas resistant to diet and exercise.
- Reshape or contour – Enhances body proportions and symmetry.
Important: Body contouring is not a weight-loss procedure but helps in shaping areas where weight loss alone isn’t effective.
