About Body Contouring Procedures

There are many different types of body contouring procedures, almost all of which are designed to help a patient achieve their desired body aesthetic through either surgical or nonsurgical methods.

Patients seek body contouring procedures not just for the potential physical benefits, but also because of the mental benefits potentially associated with these procedures. Body contouring procedures have increased in popularity in recent years and have been associated with statistically significant improvements in patients’ overall acceptance of their body appearance. (1)

Body contouring procedures can be performed alone or, in many cases, in conjunction with other body contouring procedures. Many of these procedures involve the use of liposuction to help remove or reposition fat around the body. It is also common for body contouring procedures to be centered around the goal of removing excess skin to create an overall more defined appearance. Regardless of what type of body contouring procedure you are interested in, Dr. Grunberg and the team at Alluring Aesthetics can help you achieve the look you desire. Here are some of the body contouring procedures offered by the experts at Alluring Aesthetics:

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

An arm lift, otherwise known as a brachioplasty, reduces sagging skin and excess fat on a patient’s arms, often resulting from weight loss or the natural aging process. Arm lifts help with overall body proportions by removing excess tissue in order to create a more toned look.

BodyTite

BodyTite is a minimally invasive treatment that uses state-of-the-art technology to administer radiofrequency waves through the skin in order to melt fat. The technology also addresses excess skin, creating a smoother, more defined contour. BodyTite is a less extensive way of removing excess skin and fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms when compared to traditional methods like surgery.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

The Brazilian Butt Lift(BBL) enhances the shape of one’s buttocks while also increasing the overall size. This is done by repurposing fat from other areas of the body. This procedure is great for people looking to improve overall proportions around the body.

Evolve Body Contouring

Evolve is a customizable, relatively painless way to remove excess skin and fat as well as tone your muscles with almost no recovery time. Evolve technology consists of three settings: Evolve Tite for skin tightening, Evolve Trim for cellulite and fat reduction, and Evolve Tone for muscle strengthening. This method has been proven to be a safe way to tighten skin, decrease cellulite, and reduce fat. (2)

Female Rejuvenation

Female rejuvenation includes procedures meant to rejuvenate intimate areas. For example, labiaplasty is a procedure to reshape the labia minora and majora, often done to improve the aesthetics of the external vulva. It can also help address discomfort and chafing caused by overly large or long labia. This procedure is often done in unison with a G-shot.

G-Shot

A G-Shot procedure is a revolutionary method for restoring female patients’ sex drive and function by utilizing platelet-rich plasma, or PRP to provide a variety of benefits. The G-Shot can also potentially help treat urinary incontinence.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes fat around the body that does not respond to healthy lifestyle habits such as diet or exercise. This is not a weight loss procedure, but rather a body sculpting procedure that improves body tone by suctioning fat out of less desirable areas around the body. Liposuction is ideal for people at or near their targeted weight who are looking for a little extra sculpting to achieve the look they want.

Mommy Makeover

A Mommy Makeover includes a combination of multiple body contouring procedures to address the effects resulting from pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. This procedure might include a tummy tuck to tighten skin and muscles around the abdomen, breast enhancement to restore volume or lift, and liposuction to reshape stubborn areas. This procedure is highly personalized to the individual and their needs.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and fat while tightening underlying muscles. Tummy tuck procedures are most common among people with excess skin and fat following a period of noticeable weight loss or childbirth.

Morpheus8 Body

Morpheus8 Body is a skin rejuvenation device that uses a combination of radiofrequency and microneedling to smooth out the skin by minimizing atrophic scars, sagging skin, cellulite, and wrinkles on the body. During this minimally invasive procedure, fine needles penetrate the skin to stimulate the production of collagen.

Ozempic Body

With the rise of GLP-1 medications in recent years, more and more people are left with excess skin and stubborn pockets of body fat after achieving significant weight loss, a phenomenon known as Ozempic Body. As such, this customizable procedure helps people remove excess skin and body fat remaining after weight loss from GLP-1 medication.

Thigh Lift

A thigh lift encompasses many of the same goals as an arm lift or other lift procedures. This procedure is designed to remove excess skin and body fat to create a more toned look around the thigh area.

VASER Hi-Def Liposuction

Using advanced ultrasound technology, VASER Hi-Def liposuction targets and removes fat with pinpoint precision, offering a less-invasive approach to liposuction. This treatment can also help improve muscle definition and is perfect for individuals seeking a more athletic look.

Benefits

Body contouring procedures can help patients achieve a variety of benefits, both physical and mental. Each of the procedures listed above has its own set of unique advantages, but in general, patients who seek body contouring procedures notice benefits such as:

  • Enhanced body definition
  • Improvements in body image
  • Function and mobility improvements

Body contouring is a vast, wonderful world to explore. To learn more about the benefits of body contouring procedures, schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Grunberg and the Alluring Aesthetics team by calling (210) 714-5390.

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates for body contouring procedures are otherwise healthy, preferably non-smoking individuals who are looking to change their body tone and aesthetic. Whether or not you are an ideal candidate for any of the body contouring procedures at Alluring Aesthetics will ultimately be up to the professional opinion of Dr. Grunberg and her staff and will be determined during your consultation.

Preparation

The preparation and procedure process will be different depending on the individual and the type of body contouring procedure they are receiving. Some procedures require minimal preparation while others, particularly surgical procedures in most cases, might require a more extensive preparation process. Dr. Grunberg will walk you through any necessary preparatory actions you will need to take before your procedure.

Procedure

Like the preparation process, each procedure will look different depending on the type of body contouring operation the patient is receiving. Some treatments are quick and minimally invasive, while others, especially surgical procedures, may take several hours and might require the use of anesthesia.

Recovery

Dr. Grunberg and her team are committed to making the recovery process as easy and painless as possible and will guide you every step of the way during recovery. Some procedures offer minimal recovery time with patients returning to normal activities immediately. More extensive procedures might require a more lengthy recovery process that could last several weeks.

Results

Results can never be guaranteed and patients should have realistic expectations about the results they can achieve with body contouring procedures, although Dr. Grunberg and her staff are the best San Antonio has to offer and are confident you will be satisfied with the results. Depending on the procedure, patients might see results immediately or perhaps gradually as the body heals in the case of more intensive procedures.

Cost of Procedure

The cost of your body contouring treatment package can be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Grunberg. Alluring Aesthetics offers financing options for those who qualify as well as an extensive rewards program.
