What is Involved with Body Contouring
There are many individuals seeking to enhance the appearance of the body. Whether it is to remove a scar or achieve a better-proportioned body contour, these procedures can help enhance one's appearance and possibly feel more confident about their renewed appearance.
Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most performed procedures at Chesapeak Plastic Surgery by Dr. Barlow. Areas treated for liposuction include the:
- Chin
- Neck and Cheeks
- Upper Arms and Above the Breasts
- Abdomen
- Buttocks
- Hips and Thighs
- Knees, Calves, and Ankles
Results can include slimmer hips and thighs, a flatter abdomen, removal of a double chin or shapelier calves and ankles. Most patients that undergo liposuction feel more confident about their appearance.
Tummy Tucks
During a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat is removed and muscles of the abdominal wall are tightened. This procedure results in a flatter and firmer abdominal appearance
A tummy tuck will produce a flatter abdominal appearance, but it does also produce the appearance of a permanent scar. Depending on the operation, the scar could be quite extensive.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that will reduce and/or reshape the labia minora. The purpose of a labiaplasty is to improve the external appearance of the vagina or correct pain felt during intercourse. This procedure can be performed in the office under local anesthesia.
