Body Contouring
Body Contouring is the term commonly used to describe the process of removing unwanted fat from seemingly stubborn areas of the body all in an aeffort to improve one's shape or contour. Liposuction is the primary go to surgery when one is considering body countouring. Liposuction can be used on many areas of the body, aggressive liposuctioning, as a side effect, can tighten loose skin which also aids in the look of body contouring. Some areas of the body may require more than liposuctioning, a tummy tuck or back lift may be required to fulfill the patient's ultimate goal. Areas that are commonly liposuctioned are the neck, the breast on men (please see gynecomastia) inner things, outer thighs, lower back and upper back, arms, flanks, stomach area, also areas referred to as love handles and side boob. People commonly feel they need a brazilian butt lift in order to achieve more projection in their buttocks area, many times this can be achieved by using liposuction in other areas around the buttocks to achieve the desired look.
