What Is Body Contouring?

Thanks to technological advancements, we have more ways than ever to sculpt and shape our bodies the way we want.

In fact, body contouring has become one of the most-requested cosmetic procedures, with a variety of surgical and non-invasive options to choose from.

What Is Body Contouring?

Body contouring is a type of cosmetic procedure designed to remove unwanted fat and reshape tissue and skin.

It may be performed surgically and require anesthesia and recovery. There are also noninvasive body contouring options that avoid incisions and have minimal downtime.

What Are the Different Body Contouring Options?

The reason that patients often ask – What is body contouring? – is because there is such a wide range of treatments that fall into this category.

Treatment usually takes several hours, is conducted with anesthesia, and requires days to weeks of recovery.

In the coming weeks, fat cell remnants are gradually cleared from the body through natural detoxification channels.

Body Contouring Surgery

Additionally, body contouring procedures can address loose skin, excess skin, lax tissue, and weakened muscles. Treatment options include:
