How Cosmetic Surgery Can Boost Your Weight Loss Experience

Body Sculpting in Norwich, CTSometimes diet and exercise simply aren’t enough to produce the body of your dreams. To get the results you’re looking for, you may want to consider a surgical weight loss procedure. These procedures are not a substitute for diet and exercise.

Liposuction

If you have areas of fat on your body that are unresponsive to diet and exercise efforts, then liposuction could be the answer. This cosmetic procedure targets fat deposits that you’ve been unable to shed by eating right and exercising. The procedure is performed under intravenous anesthesia. A small incision is made and a hollow tube called a cannula is inserted to suction off the fat. Liposuction permanently removes fat cells and can be used in many different areas of the body including:

  • Chin
  • Neck
  • Upper Arms
  • Chest
  • Abdomen
  • Back
  • Thighs
  • Hips
  • Buttocks
  • Calves
  • Knees
  • Ankles

Tummy Tuck

If you are struggling with sagging skin as a result of pregnancy or a significant weight loss, a tummy tuck can thin and firm the abdomen. Also called an abdominoplasty, this surgical procedure removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles. Though it may take you some time to fully recover, you will notice a difference right after your surgery. With proper diet and exercise, the results of your tummy tuck will be permanent; however, your results may ultimately be affected by a substantial weight loss or gain, pregnancy or aging.

Body Lift

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your body following a significant weight loss, a body lift can re-sculpt the abdomen, thighs and/or buttocks. A body lift is one or more procedures that lifts sagging skin, removes cellulite and tightens muscle tissue. This surgical procedure will produce results that are both cosmetic and practical. It will remove areas of excess skin that can weigh you down or cause chafing.

Mommy Makeover

Pregnancy and childbirth can drastically change a woman’s body. Sagging skin, stretch marks, and fat deposits in the stomach, hips and thighs can be helped with a mommy makeover. It usually involves liposuction, a tummy tuck and other non-invasive procedures, depending on the individual patient’s needs. A mommy makeover can help restore your self-confidence and boost your self-esteem.
