Popular Body Contouring and Cosmetic Surgery Procedures
Body contouring and cosmetic surgery procedures can improve the way a person looks by targeting areas that are resistant to the effects of exercise and dieting. By eliminating stubborn pockets of fat, contouring boosts self-esteem and confidence levels. Some of the most popular procedures include:
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen. It can also tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, or neck.
CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical procedure that uses controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells.
Now that you know a little bit more about each procedure, let’s take a closer look at some of the key differences.
