Body Contouring and Lifts

    A well-toned body with smooth contours often is a sign of fitness achieved by healthy diet and exercise. But exercise alone cannot always achieve results for individuals who have loose, sagging skin, uneven contours, and areas of diet resistant fat. Aging, sun damage, pregnancy and significant fluctuations in weight as well as genetic factors may contribute to poor tissue elasticity and can result in sagging and fullness of the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and loose upper arms.

    Body Contouring combines liposuction to reduce diet resistant fat deposits and surgical body lifting to improve the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. Excess sagging fat and skin is removed to treat conditions caused in part by poor tissue elasticity. In addition, a body lift can improve a dimpled, irregular skin surface, commonly known as cellulite.

    If you desire a firmer, more youthful-looking body contour, then a surgical body lift with Dr. Colony may help to achieve your goals. Generally, a body lift reduces excess fat and skin resulting in smoother skin and contours. These physical changes to your body can improve your body image and help to boost your self-confidence.
