Get in the best shape you can be with the help of body procedures in Danville.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Pregnancy tends to leave you with stretched abdominal muscles and skin after you give birth. Massive weight loss can also create drooping skin in your midsection, preventing you from wearing form-fitting clothes and swimsuits. Additionally, aging may cause weight gain, with most of the weight accumulating in your midsection.

An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, can address these issues. It removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and rejoins sagging muscles to create a firmer and smoother tummy. It’s the ideal procedure for those with stubborn pockets of fat in the abdominal area that do not go away despite working out and dieting. It can also remove stretch marks in certain cases.

Abdominoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the procedure. You may need several weeks to fully recover from your tummy tuck surgery, and a tummy tuck may not be recommended for you if you are planning to become pregnant in the near future or are currently pregnant. Pregnancy can reverse the results of the procedure.

Liposuction

If you have stubborn fatty deposits that do not seem to budge despite an active lifestyle and a healthy diet, liposuction can help. Liposuction improves the shapes of specific parts of the body by removing excess fat. It is often performed on the arms, thighs, back, waist, chest, hips, chin, cheeks, and inner knees.

If you are aiming for impressive and natural-looking results and a quick recovery, liposuction is an ideal option. Liposuction is best for patients whose skin quality is relatively elastic. It works by inserting a cannula connected to a surgical vacuum. The cannula loosens the fatty tissue and then suctions it out of the body.

Liposuction is performed following a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Tiny, inconspicuous incisions are made in the treatment areas, minimizing the appearance of scars. While liposuction in Danville CA can remove targeted fat deposits, it is not a weight loss solution. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are not ideal candidates for the procedure.

Body Contouring After Massive Weight Loss

When a person gains weight, their skin expands to accommodate the body’s new volume. After losing significant weight, the skin may have trouble shrinking back down to fit the new contours, especially when skin elasticity is low. You may end up with flattened breasts and nipples hanging low, along with hanging excess skin on the thighs, upper arms, abdomen, groin, and buttocks.

Body contouring after massive weight loss trims away excess skin and tightens the remaining skin. These types of procedures include a breast lift, arm lift, tummy tuck, and lower body lift. The results are immediately visible. The skin will lose some firmness over time, but generally, results are very long-lasting.

Depending on your individual concerns and goals, Danville CA body contouring may include several specific procedures including breast lift, arm lift, and tummy tuck. Patients with extremely loose, sagging skin and poor skin elasticity may not achieve optimal results with body contouring alone. Additional skin-tightening procedures may also be recommended.

The Cost of Body Procedures

The price of body procedures varies from case to case. Factors like the specific procedure chosen and the total time needed to perform the surgery can impact the overall cost.
