BODY SCULPTING

When we talk about reshaping or sculpting the body we think of eight operations

liposuction and ultrasonic liposuction : spot fat reduction is used for contouring the body. This is not used for weight loss although ultrasonic liposuction in stages can reduce large amounts of fat.

breast augmentation: enhancing or enlarging the size of the breasts using implants.

breast tightening: firming and tightening the breast is called a mastopexy. It rasises the nipple on the profile of the breast.

breast reduction:making the breast smaller is called reduction mammoplasty. It can sometimes be done with liposuction.

abdominoplasty: removing fat and skin from the abdomen is a "tummy tuck". It is needed when loose skin or skin and fat are the problem.

brachioplasty: tightening the upper arm skin is an arm lift, sometimes liposuction alone is enough.

thigh and buttock lift: tightening the upper leg skin and fat is used to improve the appearance of the buttock and thigh. Buttock implants are used but this is not a widely accepted technique.

gynecomastia: breast reduction in men removes the excess fat in the breast that bothers so many
