Body contouring<\/strong><\/a> refers to a set of procedures that can remove excess skin or fat from any part of the body such as the abdomen, chin, arms, thighs, flanks, etc. Body contouring procedures are used to remove an excess area of stubborn fat or sagging skin, which cannot be reduced through diet and exercise.<\/p>\n

Body contouring procedures and techniques have evolved significantly over the years. In the past, body contouring procedures were surgical and performed solely by plastic surgeons to tighten the skin after massive weight loss, most often seen in bariatric surgery patients. In the past, body contouring was classified as plastic surgery, since liposuction, tummy tucks, and arm lifts, were all that was offered. Today, there are many more non-invasive body contouring procedures that are performed by an expert dermatologist, like Dr. Michele Green. A body contouring procedure means much more now than surgery as there are so many effective non-surgical alternatives.<\/p>\n

Who is a good candidate for body contouring?<\/h3>\n

A good candidate for body contouring is a patient who is within 10 pounds of their ideal weight. If you are fluctuating in your weight, it is best to get it under control. You should be in generally good health and have a localized area of fat that is not responding to diet and exercise. It is best to consult with an expert like Dr. Michele Green to see if you are a good candidate for body contouring in her NYC office.<\/p>\n

The second part of the consultation is a physical exam to determine the degree of fat that you would like decreased along with your skin quality. Weight and measurements are taken, followed by photographs that are for your private medical records. These photographs can be examined later during your follow-up visit to help assess the cosmetic results from your body contouring procedure. At the end of the consultation, Dr. Green will help you determine which body contouring procedures may be right for you.<\/p>\n
