San Francisco Body Contouring Procedures

For many men and women, body image is a daily struggle to be successful in achieving desired physical results with diet, exercise, and beauty products. For those who are concerned with the shape of their body, diet, exercise, and weight loss products appeal to them for a number of reasons. Being healthy and staying in shape should be a priority for everyone, however, some still struggle. In San Francisco Plastic Surgeon  recommended plastic surgery has been a means to achieving physical desired results, and also staying healthy. For many of those that have lost a significant amount of weight, or who have "problem areas" (localized fat deposits), a plastic surgery procedure can help.

The liposuction procedure was developed and designed to remove excess skin and fat from the body leaving the treated area tightened and contoured. The procedure can be performed on almost any area of the body which is why it is plastic surgeon-recommended in most cases. In  San Francisco Liposuction  procedures are in the top 5 cosmetic surgery procedures of 2009, giving excellent results to patients that have received the procedure. The goal of the procedure is to give the patient a body contour that is slimmed, tightened, and proportionate overall.

For patients looking to contour their midsection, a  San Francisco Tummy Tuck  procedure aims to contour the abdominal area. A Tummy Tuck, or Abdominoplasty, is a procedure that uses liposuction for the removal of excess skin and fat, and a muscle-tightening technique implemented by a  San Francisco Plastic Surgeon . With the abdominal muscle-tightening and liposuction together, the midsection is flattened and contoured, leaving the patient with results that could not have been attained with diet and exercise alone. A Tummy Tuck procedure may also be completed alongside other procedures such as the Liposuction of the flanks, back, or thighs, while the patient is receiving a Tummy Tuck. It is usually recommended by a plastic surgeon for the patient to receive the best overall figure with a body that is proportionate.
