Body Contouring
Surgery In Tucson
Losing a large amount of weight is a major accomplishment and will benefit your physical and mental health. If you have lost 100 pounds or more, you should be very proud of what you have achieved. Losing this amount of weight, however, can leave you with loose and saggy skin around the face, arms, breasts, thighs, buttocks and abdomen. Even with continued diet and exercise, you can be left with unwanted fat deposits like love handles and your skin may never shrink back to what it was before your weight gain. Our plastic surgeons can help. Our experienced and board-certified plastic surgeons can remove this unwanted skin and fat and in some cases tighten underlying muscles to improve your overall look.
What Is Body Sculpting ?
Body sculpting, also called body contouring, is usually a combination of several skin reduction and cosmetic surgeries to improve the look and feel of your body. Body sculpting surgery is designed to improve soft tissue contours in both men and women by removing excess skin and fat, tightening remaining skin, and sometimes repairing the tissue below. It is best suited for patients that are in good health but need a little bit of help to get their desired look. The most common treatment areas include the abdomen, buttocks, upper thighs, breasts, arms, face, and neck. For best results, body sculpting should not be done until your weight has been stable for at least a year and you are not predicting any more weight loss.
Benefits Of Body Contouring Surgery
How Is Body Sculpting Performed ?
Body contouring is oftentimes a combination of surgeries. These will either be performed at the same time or separately, depending on your health and other factors. We will help you determine how much can be done safely and effectively while keeping your goals in mind. Some of the procedures that may be recommended by your surgeon could include a face lift, upper body lift, lower body lift, breast lift, arm lift, thigh lift, and even a 360 body lift. Each of these surgeries targets specific areas of the body and can be completely customized for you to address the areas you wish to improve.
Whether you are looking to get your entire body contoured or just certain areas of concern, we can help guide you through the process of deciding which treatment option will give you the look you desire.
Recovery From Body Sculpting
Recovery time from your body sculpting surgery will vary and depend on how much or how little you have done. Your treatment plan usually depends on what procedures were included, the nature of your work, how physical your work is, and your tolerance to pain. After your surgery you will be given instructions on how to care for your surgical sites, any medications that you are to take or apply, concerns and side effects to look for on the treated areas or in your general health, and when to follow-up with us. We take your health very seriously at Hess, Sandeen, and Lee. We want your patient experience to be a positive one and you to leave feeling confident and comfortable.
Will Insurance Cover Body Sculpting ?
Most insurance companies will not cover cosmetic procedures and even though excess skin left behind after you lose weight can be considered a medical condition, very few cover any type of body sculpting. Some carriers, however, do offer partial coverage of body contouring if it meets specific criteria. It is important to contact your insurance company to see what they do and do not cover. Hess, Sandeen, and Lee Plastic Surgery also offers financing options through Care Credit to help you achieve your goals. Contact our office for details.
