BodyContouring NEWPORT BEACHIn modern society, the perception of beauty pertaining to the human body emphasizes a lean, youthful appearance.  This has brought about an increased demand for both surgical and non-surgical attempts to trim off excess fat and unsightly bulges.  Areas that are resistant to diet and exercise can be altered  by removing unwanted fatty tissue and loose skin by either liposculpture or direct surgical excision or a combination of both.

 

By the time a person reaches adulthood, they have acquired all of the fat cells that they will have throughout their life.  The number and distribution of fat cells is genetically determined and unique to each individual. Women typically accumulate fat in the lower trunk, hips, upper thighs and buttocks; men tend to accumulate fat evenly around the trunk, in the abdomen and “love handles”.  Persons who have specific areas of fat tissue deposits and are at or near their ideal body weight are ideal candidates for liposuction if their skin has sufficient elasticity.  People considering liposuction should be aware that liposculpture improves contour but does not eliminate wrinkles and is not a treatment for obesity. To determine if you are a candidate for body contouring by liposuction, a complimentary evaluation with Dr. Bandy will answer most of your questions.

Accumulation of fat in the abdominal area can be treated by either liposculpture or a tummy tuck in Orange County.  The factors that are important in determining which will be best, or whether a combination of both is optimum, are the elasticity of the skin, the presence or absence of stretch marks and whether the abdominal muscles have been separated. Some women who have had one or multiple pregnancies may not be a candidate for liposuction due to the loss of  their skin elasticity and  the separation of their abdominal wall muscles.  Rapid weight loss often makes it necessary to obtain the best results by direct surgical excision of excess skin. Virtually all areas of the body can be altered to improve contour, eliminate sagging skin and highlight body image.
