Body Sculpting

00:00:07.741 --> 00:00:11.979 Body contouring is essentially unveiling the underlying core musculature, 00:00:12.145 --> 00:00:16.049 and that can be done with any kind of plastic surgery procedures on the body. 00:00:16.416 --> 00:00:19.186 If you're really trying to do advanced body contouring, 00:00:19.653 --> 00:00:23.557 you're not just doing lipo on its own because your skin is not going to tighten. 00:00:23.624 --> 00:00:26.793 If you deflate something, the skin does not inherently tighten, 00:00:26.927 --> 00:00:28.262 especially if it has been stretched out 00:00:28.328 --> 00:00:30.731 from pregnancies or weight gain or weight loss, 00:00:30.964 --> 00:00:33.200 because if the skin has gone through trauma, 00:00:33.333 --> 00:00:35.435 it loses its ability to recoil. 00:00:35.702 --> 00:00:38.272 If I just do liposuction and deflate the balloon, 00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:40.174 it does not magically shrink back down. 00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:42.509 It just gets deflated. It looks like a raisin. 00:00:42.676 --> 00:00:47.214 That's why, in the past, patients might look flat here, 00:00:47.281 --> 00:00:49.082 but they wouldn't have as good of a waistline 00:00:49.149 --> 00:00:50.684 because you've deflated it, 00:00:50.751 --> 00:00:53.320 but you haven't shrink-wrapped the waistline. 00:00:53.754 --> 00:00:57.191 Body contouring for tummy tucks, that's all it is. 00:00:57.257 --> 00:00:59.326 You are using pretty much liposuction, 00:00:59.393 --> 00:01:03.617 and in this case, some skin tightening technology, 00:01:03.697 --> 00:01:05.933 like I mentioned, to shrink-wrap the skin 00:01:05.999 --> 00:01:10.204 and unveil whatever contour it is that you want to create or unveil. 00:01:10.270 --> 00:01:14.541 Body contouring typically would include maybe chest or torso, 00:01:15.676 --> 00:01:17.778 the side profile for the silhouette. 00:01:18.779 --> 00:01:20.881 But it can also include like when I do a BBL, 00:01:20.948 --> 00:01:22.182 that's technically body contouring 00:01:22.249 --> 00:01:23.917 because you can do body contouring on the arm, 00:01:23.984 --> 00:01:26.286 on the thighs, on the lower legs, 00:01:26.820 --> 00:01:28.088 anywhere, on the chest. 00:01:28.155 --> 00:01:30.557 For men, if you are doing body contouring on the chest, 00:01:30.624 --> 00:01:31.658 you're sculpting. 00:01:32.259 --> 00:01:34.862 It's more of a sculpting, but you are contouring it. 00:01:35.362 --> 00:01:38.699 The biggest risk and complication of any of these plastic surgery procedures 00:01:38.765 --> 00:01:41.568 including bum makeovers, tummy tucks, and body contouring, 00:01:41.635 --> 00:01:42.769 they all go together. 00:01:43.270 --> 00:01:44.838 I would say the biggest risk 00:01:44.905 --> 00:01:47.674 is some sort of wound healing issue from the incision. 00:01:47.741 --> 00:01:49.443 That's always the biggest thing. 00:01:49.576 --> 00:01:54.081 The feedback I get from my patients for body contouring is very good 00:01:54.147 --> 00:01:56.917 because I'm taking care of all the things that we talked about. 00:01:56.984 --> 00:01:58.852 I think I'm very good at liposuction. 00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:00.587 I'm very meticulous with it. 00:02:00.654 --> 00:02:06.226 I use all of the advanced technologies and techniques that are used anywhere. 00:02:06.593 --> 00:02:08.695 I do lipo-etching; I do lipo-contouring. 00:02:08.762 --> 00:02:11.231 I know how to lipo both deep and superficial. 00:02:11.880 --> 00:02:14.835 Then I'm coming through, and I'm either making an incision 00:02:14.902 --> 00:02:20.107 or I'm using BodyTite to help deal with the skin laxity. 00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:22.843 If you don't deal with the skin laxity after lipo, 00:02:23.343 --> 00:02:25.312 you're going to have a contouring issue. 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:27.548 My patients are very happy. 00:02:27.614 --> 00:02:32.219 I think I give them a natural result that's a little ultra-real or beyond, 00:02:32.386 --> 00:02:33.854 and it's also safe. 00:02:33.987 --> 00:02:35.756 It looks good, it looks natural. 00:02:36.256 --> 00:02:39.560 It's more than they could get anywhere else.
