WHAT IS THE BODY SCULPTING PROCESS?
It is a process in which certain areas of the body are formed in the way that the obese patient desires, and the required results may be simple nothing more than to get rid of “cellulite” (which is difficult to get rid of without these methods.Body sculpting differs from the traditional methods of liposuction in that it can smoothly highlight the aesthetic features of the body, and reach some areas of the body to the desired shape completely, and not just coordinate the body weight. In fact, body operations sometimes require adjusting the proportion of body weight with height first before starting to use these techniques.
WHO ARE THE POTENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR BODY SCULPTING OPERATIONS?
The process of body sculpting differs from liposuction procedures, as the aim of this process is not to adjust the body mass index (the proportion between weight and height), but the potential candidates for the process of body sculpting must have a somewhat consistent body, and this process can be used to target certain areas.
Although it is possible to use this process to treat several areas in the body, but doctors advise in the beginning to use the other methods that control the body weight to reach the ideal weight, and to resort to this technique only to highlight the beauty of the features of the body and determine muscle consistency or spot reduce fat.
Of course, this operation can be performed for both men and women alike. The person must be in good health, and not suffer from any diseases at the time of the operation, or at least be stable in the case of some chronic diseases.
This process is suitable for body tightening, but if the person suffers from severe sagging, it is recommended to start with body tightening techniques through “Mesotherapy” or any other type of body sculpting, and postpone resorting to the body sculpting process using a four-dimensional laser a little.
The person to be operated on must be a non-smoker, or be able to quit and avoid smoking during the recovery period.
