There has been great advancement in the use of technology within body contouring procedures over the years. As it increases in popularity, more patients are opting for the procedures that it offers as results improve and downtime becomes less. There are a range of body contouring procedures to choose from for women – here we take a look at the latest and popular procedures in body contouring today.
Breast Augmentation
Whilst breast augmentation has been traditionally associated with cosmetic surgery, the techniques have developed over the years enabling surgeons to provide natural-looking results for patients.
In this case, the use of fat transfer which uses the patient’s own excess skin can be extracted and purified before being injected into various areas of the body to provide natural augmentation. Autologous fat transfer can also be a great natural alternative to breast implants.
Buttock Augmentation
More commonly known as BBL or a Brazilian Butt Lift, autologous fat can be injected into the subcutaneous plane of the buttocks to provide a natural augmentation and appearance. The amount of fat can be managed respectively and overall it can greatly improve the curves of the buttocks.
Skin Tightening
Another traditional surgery within body contouring procedures is the use of skin tightening. However, there has been changes to the procedure in recent years as it depended on excision and a scar forming. However, there are also devices and technology that help to provide non-invasive techniques that help to safely tighten skin. This has made skin tightening a more attractive option for patients looking to have a tightening skin procedure.
The (New) Mummy Makeover
When patients opt for a mummy makeover, the rectus abdominis muscles tend to separate, causing a noticeable bulge in the abdominal. This can also leave a form of skin laxity which can be difficult to resolve, even through exercise or nutrition, unlike normal excess skin that can easily be rectified.
There are a number of ways that rectus abdominis can be rectified including through abdominoplasty, mastopexy or a breast lift. With these new modalities that can be included in these procedures, it allows surgeons to improve the results of their tummy tuck procedures with smaller incisions.
