Body Sculpting In Dallas TX

What is Body Sculpting?

your desired body shape

Bariatric surgery, while it effectively takes off extreme excess weight, does not give the patient his or her desired body shape; body sculpting surgery is needed to finish the job and give the person the body profile they desire. Body sculpting uses various procedures to remove excess fat and skin to create a slimmer profile. A patient who has undergone major weight loss usually has sagging skin in areas such as the face, neck, abdomen, arms, buttocks, and thighs. Dallas plastic surgeon, Dr. Matthew J. Trovato can address excess fat and skin as the body is sculpted to achieve the desired figure.

What Are the Different Forms of Body Contouring?

target different areas

The goal of body sculpting is to address the sagging, loose skin that is the byproduct of major weight loss. Usually, once the skin has been stretched by gaining large amounts of weight, at a certain point it loses elasticity and can’t return to its former tautness, even once the weight is gone. Body sculpting procedures involve different surgeries that target different areas: facelift, breast lift, arm lift, tummy tuck, butt lifts, and medial thigh lift.
