Procedures and Products Used for Body Contouring

There was a time when people could do nothing about the shape of their bodies and the imperfections they see in themselves.

Vancouver, Canada (prHWY.com) November 24, 2012 - There was a time when people could do nothing about the shape of their bodies and the imperfections they see in themselves. Today however, technological advancements and breakthroughs in science have made it possible for cosmetic surgery to prosper and give people the body shape and appearance that they weren't naturally born with.

Body contouring procedures have been developed over the years. They aren't always about looking beautiful though, because some of them deal with medical conditions like obesity and inborn deformities like cleft palates and over/underdeveloped parts of the body.

Here are some cosmetic surgery procedures that people go through in order to contour their bodies to the shape they want:

Liposuction and Fat Transfer

Liposuction is practically a household term today. Everyone knows that it is the process of removing fat from specific areas of the body. Most of the time, the target areas are the belly, thighs, upper arm, and under the chin. People, especially the ladies, resort to liposuction when regular exercise and proper dieting can't seem to get rid of the fat in those locations of the body.

Closely related to that is fat transfer. This procedure fills out parts of the body that look better filled out, like the buttocks and cheeks. There are even cases when this procedure is done on breasts and penises. It is considered as a natural procedure though because instead of using artificial substances like silicone, the surgeons will just use fat from your body.

Implant Procedures

Perhaps the most popular body implant procedure is breast enhancement. Many women and male homosexuals go through this procedure in order to have more shapely breasts.

Implanting is actually considered as a corrective surgical procedure and is helpful in cases where a patient has disproportional parts of his body (commonly chest/pectoral area, calves and biceps). There are fat transfer can also be classified as a body implant procedure.

Enhancement

Enhancement can be done via implants or injectables. The latter option is more tolerable for those who are scared of literally going under the knife. Lip enhancement, for example, doesn't need incisions. Enhancement formulas like Restylane is merely injected in the area and allowed to take effect.

Botox

As we grow older we develop wrinkles and lines. For some people, no amount of creams can completely smoothen out the wrinkles on their foreheads and around their eyes so they opt for Botox. It stretches the skin and effectively gets rid of any lines or wrinkles. If done excessively though, a face may look as though frozen because of lack of expression.

Botox is used for other medical reasons too, like treatment for eyelid spasms, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), and anal fissures.

Contouring via injections may be done in clinics, provided that they are administered by licensed cosmetic doctors. You can get Botox or Restylane in Vancouver cosmetic clinics, for example. But for major surgical procedures like liposuction, implantation, and some enhancement operations, they must be done in fully-functional clinics or hospitals with complete surgical equipment and machines.
