Body Sculpting encompasses a number of body contouring techniques used by cosmetic surgeons to reshape almost any area of the body, such as liposuction, breast lift and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck surgery). Patients can effectively contour and sculpt the areas of excess skin and fat that are unresponsive to diet and exercise.
Liquid Liposuction is one of the most popular body contouring techniques as it allows the surgeons to selectively re-sculpt specific areas of the body. Liquid Liposuction is a much gentler approach to liposuction, allowing for greater patient comfort. With over one thousand body sculpting procedures performed we have the experience that you can trust.
The Liquid Liposuction procedure has many benefits over traditional liposuction such as reduced pain, increased patient safety and higher accuracy leading to smoother results.
Liquid liposuction can assist with body sculpting by removing unwanted/excess fat from various areas around the body, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. Although not a substitute for a weight loss program it’s excellent for helping remove stubborn pockets of fat that aren’t respond to traditional weight-loss techniques.
BodyTite/Lipotite uses Radio Frequency energy to remove fat cells while at the same time tightening skin.
It works like an iron to melt fat and smooth out loose skin to give smooth and natural looking results. This modern procedure is safer and gentler which increases the accuracy of sculpting and reduces recovery time.
The great thing about this procedure is that we are able to perform the surgery under a local anaesthetic and light sedation, this allows us to stand you up throughout the procedure so we can fine tune the results and sculpt you accurately. You will not feel any pain with the sedation as pain relieving medication is administered as needed throughout the procedure.
Abdominoplasty (known as “Tummy Tuck” Surgery) is a unique body sculpting technique that combines the removal of excess fat and skin with the surgical tightening of the abdominal muscles. Depending on the extent of the fat deposits in the abdominal region, a mini-Tummy Tuck may be performed in conjunction with Liposuction to remove fat deposits from the hips for better body sculpting.
Breast Lift Surgery is another Body Sculpting technique that can be used to enhance the shape and contour of the body. Breast Lift Surgery can be performed by either Laser Skin Tightening, or for a more formal surgical lift, by a Mastopexy. Both of these Breast Lift procedures change the shape of the breast, not the size. Other areas that can be targetted and contoured using body lift procedures include the arm, thigh and buttocks.
Body Implant Procedures for Body SculptingBody Implants are used for Body Sculpting to add shape and volume to disproportionate areas of the body. The most common body implant procedure is the breast implant where both the size and the shape of the breast can be altered to better match the rest of the body. Other areas that can be contoured using implants include the biceps, calf, pectoral and buttocks.
The best candidates for Body Sculpting procedures are people with subborn areas of fat that do not respond to exercise. Body Sculpting Techniques are the most effective in patients who are within a healthy weight range, have good quality skin and wish to sculpt/shape excess pockets of fat. Age is not a major issue however, some older patients may have issues with loose skin due to reduced levels of collagen and elastin.
