Body Contouring Specialist in Houston, TX and Sealy, TX

Body contouring is a category of treatments in aesthetic medicine that involves reshaping and refining various areas of the body to enhance overall appearance and proportion.
 
The goal of body contouring is to promote aesthetic benefits by reshaping areas where diet and exercise alone may not have been effective. As individuals age, lose weight, or undergo changes in their body shape, they might encounter stubborn fat deposits or sagging skin that are resistant to traditional weight-loss methods.
 
Body contouring procedures, which include both surgical and non-surgical procedures, are designed to target these specific issues, offering solutions like fat removal, skin tightening, and much more. These treatments can dramatically improve an individual’s appearance and are particularly beneficial for those who wish to alter their body shape beyond what can be achieved through lifestyle changes alone.

Body contouring includes a variety of procedures tailored to meet different aesthetic goals and physical needs. Specialists at Clariti Aesthetic and Wellness work with patients to identify the ideal procedure for each individual’s unique needs.
 
Surgical options include a tummy tuck, which removes excess fat and skin from the abdominal area and tightens the underlying muscles. Another popular option is liposuction, which selectively removes fat deposits from various parts of the body. Body contouring also includes body lifts, which may involve lifting and tightening the skin of the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms.
 
Non-surgical options involve a number of advanced technologies such as radiofrequency, ultrasound, or laser energy to target and reduce fat without incisions or recovery time. These methods work by either causing fat cells to break down where it is eliminated naturally from the body or by promoting collagen production to tighten the skin.
 
The choice of procedures depends on the patient’s unique body, recovery preferences, and desired outcome. These procedures can be combined or tailored to address multiple different concerns at the same time.

Candidacy for body contouring is determined on a case-by-case basis in collaboration with specialists at Clariti Aesthetic and Wellness. Ideal candidates for body contouring are typically individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but struggle with localized fat deposits or excess skin that do not respond to diet and exercise. These stubborn areas can be frustrating and may affect an individual’s self-esteem as well as their appearance.
 
Candidates should be healthy and approach procedures with realistic expectations about the results of body contouring. They should be intending to maintain a stable weight, as significant fluctuations can alter the effects of body contouring.
 
During the initial consultation, a specialist will assess factors to determine the most appropriate procedures. Given the wide range of body contouring treatments available a broad range of candidates looking to remove excess skin, reshape their body contours, target localized fat, and more, can benefit.

While both body sculpting and body contouring are aimed at improving body aesthetics, they can serve different goals. Body sculpting generally refers to non-surgical procedures designed to target and eliminate small to moderate amounts of fat in order to sculpt the body.
 
Techniques often used in body sculpting include cryolipolysis, radiofrequency, and laser treatments that focus on reducing fat without surgery.
 
On the other hand, body contouring can include either non-surgical and surgical procedures and includes treatments that remove excess skin, tighten the remaining skin, and alter the underlying muscle structure.
 
Surgical body contouring provides more dramatic and often permanent results in reshaping the body and is frequently the method of choice for addressing larger areas or more complex body shaping needs. In some cases, individuals will elect to undergo a combination of body sculpting and body contouring treatments.

How long body contouring results last vary depending on a number of factors but they are typically intended to be long-term solutions. The type of procedure performed and the patient’s lifestyle after the procedure will influence the outcomes.
 
Surgical body contouring methods like liposuction permanently remove fat cells from the body, and as long as the patient maintains a stable weight, the results can be permanent.
 
However, weight gain can still influence the development of fat in other areas. Non-surgical methods may require maintenance treatments to sustain results depending on the specific treatment.
 
Providers at Clariti Aesthetic and Wellness will direct patients on the best practices to maintain their results on a permanent basis. This will influence including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to maintain the outcomes of their body contouring procedures.
