What Is Involved in Body Sculpting?
The main procedures involved in body sculpting involve breast and buttock augmentation. These are two different procedures, but they can be combined (and even paired with other procedures) to give you the curves you want. The breasts and the buttocks can be enhanced with either implants or a fat transfer (or even both) – your doctor will help you decide which technique is best for you.
In a fat transfer, fat is taken from one area of the body using liposuction, a minimally invasive procedure that is very safe. There are different techniques for liposuction, but the basic idea is this: Small incisions are made in the area where fat is to be removed, and a thin tube is inserted. This is moved around to loosen excess fat, which is then suctioned out, purified, and then injected into the area where it is needed.
There are many advantages to choosing a fat transfer for augmentation. For one, you don’t have to worry about having a bad reaction to the augmentation material because it is your own fat. And, the outcome is very natural looking.
You should note, however, that liposuction is a way to remove pockets of fat in the body, but it is not a way to lose a lot of weight. And, it may take a while to see the final results, and over time you might lose some of the initial fullness that comes with a fat transfer, as the body starts to reabsorb part of the fat.
