The Skinny on Body Recontouring

    /24-7PressRelease/ - ORANGE COUNTY, CA, March 26, 2008 - Sure, the idea of "body recontouring" sounds great - but is it really possible to reshape what Mother Nature gave us, to fit our personal ideals of physical beauty?

Body recontouring may sound too good to be true, but it has changed the lives of millions and with modern technology constantly improving, the potential is virtually limitless. Choosing the right procedure or procedures takes diligent research and resources. And choosing the right surgeon and center is crucial in getting the body recontouring results you'd like to see.

The Art of Body Recontouring
Body recontouring procedures can make a range of changes from subtle to significant in your appearance. Procedures like liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation and breast lift help you target areas that may be impossible to change with diet and exercise alone. Maybe you are carrying around a little extra fat in certain stubborn areas, you are uncomfortable with your proportions, or you are just not filling out your clothes the way you'd like to. With personalized body recontouring, you get to be in the pilot's seat - you, the patient, get to communicate your ideal beauty goals and let the skill and artistry of your surgical team rise to meet your needs.

Both men and women finally have state-of-the-art cosmetic surgery options that allow them to have the outward appearance they've always envisioned but could just never reach on their own. While the male and female forms each have a basic formula for beauty, it is individual preference that will guide body recontouring.
• For males, the standard form usually includes broad shoulders, a broad chest, a toned stomach, and muscular thighs
• For females, it usually includes a firm, curvy chest, small waist, and thin thighs

But because every body is different, and we all interpret beauty in a unique way, body recontouring takes more of an individual, artistic approach, allowing us to customize our procedures. By choosing a body recontouring surgeon who has many years of experience, specializes in body recontouring, and has a very diverse portfolio of patients, you are more likely to get the body recontouring results you desire.

Scarring
Body recontouring procedures are designed to permanently reshape specific areas, with natural-looking results. That means little or no scarring should be visible. Incisions always create scars. There is no way around this, although who knows what the future may hold! An experienced cosmetic surgery team will make the smallest incisions possible, and will place them so as to create the most discreet or virtually invisible scarring. For instance, breast implant incisions can be placed inside the armpit or along the crease below the breast. And tummy tuck incisions are placed below the bikini line.

One way you can choose to minimize scarring is to have two or more procedures performed simultaneously - saving both costs and recovery time, and potentially using the same incisions, or fewer incisions.

Whatever your definition of beauty might be, a skilled body recontouring team will work with you to achieve your ideal vision.
