BODY CONTOURING

SCULPT FAT WITH LIPO360 AND BBL TO ENHANCE YOUR SILHOUETTE IN WESTFIELD, NJ

Have you ever wanted to sculpt your ideal body? Stubborn fat deposits that linger on the waist, thighs and other areas can impact your self-image and dress size. Many of us have wished that we could have resistant fat taken from one area and moved to another area of the body where the added volume is desired. Cosmetic surgery makes that possible. Body contouring from NJ’s Burnett Plastic Surgery could be what you’re looking for if your goal is to create a slim, tiny waist, a round and shapely butt, and balanced curves.

BODY CONTOURING: WHAT AFFECTS THE SHAPE OF YOUR BODY?

Have you ever wondered what determines a person’s body shape? Different body shapes are part of what makes every person unique. We often think of the “ideal” body type for women as a slim waist, flat stomach, curvy buttocks, and full breasts. However, not everyone is born with this shape. Moreover, aging, pregnancy, and significant weight loss can result in stretched and sagging skin. Even after putting in effort to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle, there may be some areas of stubborn fat that you would like to tone up more or skin that hangs loose and creates a deflated look.

Due to genetics, lifestyle, and your natural body shape, there may be areas that are lacking in volume while at the same time there may be other parts where you have difficulty reducing excess fat. For example, a sedentary lifestyle or aging can cause the buttocks to lose their shape and become flatter. Other patients may naturally have an apple-shaped body, where they carry resistant fat on the belly area. There are also changes in bone and muscle mass as you age that may affect your body shape. Unfortunately, it may not be possible to completely avoid the changes to your body shape that occur as you age.

These problems can be addressed with body contouring surgery. Body contouring surgery can help you achieve your ideal, feminine curves to restore your shape or give you the look you have always wanted.

WHAT IS BODY CONTOURING?

Are you wondering, “What does body contouring do?” Body contouring is a combination of surgical procedures involving the removal of excess skin and fat, as well as using fat to reshape or contour certain areas. It is beneficial for patients who want a slimmer figure or desire a certain shape. The body contouring procedure that Burnett Plastic Surgery is most well known for is the combined Brazilian butt lift with liposuction of the midsection and fat transfer to transform the entire body’s silhouette. There are many benefits associated with body contouring such as more defined and shapely body parts, a younger and thinner appearance, and smoother skin.

WHAT TYPES OF PROCEDURES ARE USED FOR BODY CONTOURING?

Most surgical body contouring procedures are “lifts” and “tucks” that include removal of excess skin and fat, along with the tightening of tissues, to sculpt a younger, sleeker appearance. Two common examples include tummy tuck surgery for addressing the abdominal area and Brazilian butt lift (BBL) surgery to address the buttocks.

LIPOSUCTION FOR BODY CONTOURING

Liposuction, which is the surgical removal of excess soft fat deposits from directly beneath the skin, is another commonly used technique. This wobbly fat that sits close to the surface is called subcutaneous fat. Liposuction surgeries typically target the arms, back, belly, flanks, buttocks, neck and chin, and thighs.

TUMMY TUCK FOR BODY CONTOURING

A tummy tuck for body contouring is intended for someone who wants to address loose skin, stubborn fat, and stretched skin on the stomach area. It’s designed to improve the shape and appearance of the stomach. This body contouring procedure gives you a smoother, more toned appearance on the abdomen by addressing excess skin and fat. In some cases, stretched and weakened abdominal muscles will also be stabilized.

BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT FOR BODY CONTOURING

A Brazilian butt lift improves the appearance of the buttocks while also reducing stubborn fat from another area of the body at the same time. The patient’s own fat is used to augment the buttock region.

CAN YOU GET A SNATCHED WAIST WITH BODY CONTOURING?

Many women desire a more hourglass-shaped body with fuller curves. The hourglass shape consists of a narrow waist with a wider bust and hips that have roughly similar measurements. This is considered to be one of the most attractive body shapes. So, can you get an hourglass figure with plastic surgery?

Getting that coveted hourglass shape with a “snatched” waist – one that is slim and well-defined with a distinct curve - often goes beyond simply getting a small waist size. Lipo360 refers to the use of liposuction all over the torso on the front, back, and sides for a full, 360-degree “circle.” This is a more comprehensive approach than traditional liposuction, which may only focus on a single feature.

To create a “snatched” slim waistline that many patients desire, Dr. Carlos Burnett combines BBL with Lipo360. Excess, unwanted fat is removed from all around the midsection—rather than just the lower and upper part of the abdomen—and added to the buttocks through fat transfer to provide more volume and projection.

This customized procedure creates the impression of a beautifully sculpted waistline and shapely, defined butt. Rather than simply creating the largest buttocks possible, Dr. Burnett aims to sculpt a shape that is most proportionate for the body frame and anatomy of each individual patient. The combined BBL, liposuction, and fat transfer procedure not only enhances contours, but also helps clothes to fit better. The procedure is designed to enhance your overall body silhouette.

WHO SHOULD HAVE BODY CONTOURING?

Another concern you may have is “Who is a good candidate for body contouring?” Ideal candidates for body contouring include patients who have made an effort through exercise and diet to maintain a healthy weight and body fat percentage and want to sculpt a curvy body contour. Body contouring procedures are not intended for weight loss.

However, these procedures are ideal if you have exercise-resistant fat on specific localized areas—even after weight loss. A good candidate for body contouring would be someone who needs a little extra help with stubborn areas even after they’ve reached a healthy body weight. It’s best to consider body contouring when you are at a stable and sustainable weight.

Patients should be aware that body contouring is not the same thing as bariatric surgery. BBL patients must have enough excess fat available to be transferred, and liposuction works best on patients who have good skin elasticity.

OUR APPROACH TO BODY CONTOURING SURGERY

Before any final decisions are made, body contouring patients will have a consultation with Dr. Burnett so that he can discuss their goals, medical history, and any medications they are currently taking.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER BODY CONTOURING?

Dr. Burnett will give you specific recovery instructions. These may include avoiding strenuous exercise, staying out of the sun, reporting any complications, and taking any necessary medications. Recovery can take several weeks to months, depending on the procedures you have.

How long do body contouring results last? Although body contouring surgeries provide lasting results, keep in mind that your appearance will be affected by aging and any future changes in weight. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle post- surgery is key to preserving the results.

BEYOND BODY CONTOURING SURGERY: OTHER COSMETIC PROCEDURES TO ENHANCE YOUR BODY SHAPE

There are several other body surgery procedures available at Burnett Plastic Surgery that complement the results from body contouring and help patients achieve a more balanced and proportional shape. These include a full selection of breast surgeries: breast augmentation to add fullness for patients who desire larger breasts, breast lift to restore a perkier, more youthful, and feminine appearance to sagging breasts, and breast reduction surgery to reduce the size of very large breasts. A breast procedure can complement your overall body shape. Mommy Makeover procedures combine various other forms of cosmetic surgery such as tummy tucks, breast surgeries, and liposuction to address physical changes associated with pregnancy. Aside from body contouring and other body procedures, we also offer various forms of facial cosmetic surgery such as blepharoplasty for facial rejuvenation.
