Ideally, candidates for body contouring are those who are close to their desired body weight but suffer from localized fat deposits or loose skin that resist diet and exercise. It’s important for candidates to have realistic expectations and be in good overall health.
Results from body contouring can vary, but most people see noticeable results within a few weeks. Optimal results typically become evident after several months, as the body naturally processes and eliminates fat cells.
The results of body contouring can be long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and follow a healthy lifestyle. It’s important to note that while fat cells are permanently removed, remaining cells can still enlarge with weight gain.
Most body contouring procedures have a short recovery period, so patients can immediately resume normal activities. There may be temporary redness, swelling, and discomfort at the treatment site, but these usually resolve within a few days.
Before body contouring, avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs and maintain hydration. Post-treatment, it’s recommended to follow a balanced diet, hydrate, and exercise to enhance results and recovery.
During a body contouring treatment, you can expect a non-invasive procedure with little to no discomfort. The specifics vary depending on the technique used, but generally, these treatments target and eliminate fat cells in problem areas, with each session lasting from 30 minutes to an hour.
