Body Contouring – A Final Step
There’s no magic wand when it comes to acheiving the body image you seek.
It’s always, or should always be, a combination of two or three factors. Diet and exercise are mandatory, but sometimes diet and exercise are not enough.
In a recent WebMD article, Colette Bouchez writes that when Frances Kuffel reached her goal weight, after losing more than 200 pounds, she didn’t realize how far she’d come.
“I kept thinking ‘I’m still fat; I still look awful.’ Someone else had to point out that my problem was no longer fat — it was skin, all this excess skin from losing so much weight,” says Kuffel, author of Passing for Thin.
It’s not unusual for people who have lost 100 pounds or more to feel this way. They feel healthier, and logically they know they are healthier, but when they look in the mirror they are still unsatisfied with what they see.
After so much hard work to lose the weight, that feeling can sometimes even lead to mild depression.
Body Contouring has the ability to correct the consequences of Extreme Weight Loss.
There are a number of procedures that can reduce excess fat or sagging skin and tissue.
Fat-dissolving and skin-tightening procedures for body contouring are less invasive however, other procedures, such as liposuction can still be a viable option.
Some of the latest innovations include mesotherapy (lipodissolve), which involves the injection of various cocktails into the skin to dissolve fat, Thermage (also known as Thermacool or Thermalift), which uses radiofrequency to tighten facial skin for a “nonsurgical” face-lift, and LipoSonix, which uses high-intensity ultrasound to target and destroy fat cells.
Whichever option you choose, you must consult with a board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Thomas Nguyen at the Institute of Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery.
One thing to be aware of is that for the first time, manufacturers are able to market in consumer magazines. Please keep in mind that it’s the technician, not the procedure, that determines success.
More and more, body contouring procedures are becoming the final step in the effort to acheive not only an ideal body weight and image, but a healthier existence as well.
