Body contouring, or body sculpting, can eliminate fat, shape areas of the body, and tighten skin. Lipolysis is a nonsurgical option that uses cold, heat, lasers, and other methods. Surgical options include tucks, lifts, and liposuction. Surgery has more risks and longer recovery, but it usually provides more noticeable results. Body contouring, or body sculpting, is a medical or surgical procedure that aims to reshape an area of the body. It may involve procedures to:
• Get rid of extra skin.
• Eliminate excess fat.
• Reshape or contour the area.
Body contouring does not usually help you lose weight. Instead, it helps shape the body and address specific areas where weight loss isn’t effective or after significant weight loss results in extra skin.
