People used to think of contouring the body as a straightforward procedure: eliminating unwanted fat and reducing the size of an area. Cosmetic surgery in the modern age is increasingly complex. Surgeons will now consider the patient’s body shape, desired shape proportions as well as the distribution of fat and the condition of the skin prior to recommending an appropriate treatment plan.

PRM Cosmetic Surgery can customize procedures to suit these aspects. Options range from liposuction fat transfer, to techniques designed to treat skin laxity and give surgeons a variety of ways to approach body contouring instead of relying upon one technique.
Proper Liposuction Begins with Proportion
Patients searching for the best liposuction may naturally focus on how much fat can be removed. The more important question is how fat removal will impact the overall shape of your body.
Eliminating abdominal fat such as this, for instance, can change how the waist relates to hips. Treatment of the flanks might help define this transition. Precision matters because aggressive fat removal doesn’t always mean that it’s better. It is important to create smoother contours while maintaining the shape of the patient’s body.
PRM offers advanced techniques which include tumescent numbing of liposuction. The treatment is individualized to the specific area being treated as well as the patient’s objectives.
The importance of skin quality is a matter for consideration.
Skin and fat react differently. While liposuction is able to remove localized fat, this doesn’t mean that the skin overlying the fat will tighten as desired.
Therefore, skin tightening can become an integral aspect of the discussion. How the skin reacts to contouring may be affected by genetics and age and pregnancy, weight loss or even existing elasticity.
Renuvion® J-Plasma is a technology that may be used for when tightness of the tissues is a concern in a treatment plan. Surgeons shouldn’t consider tightening in the last minute as an alternative, but instead evaluate the skin’s characteristics prior to deciding on an primary strategy for body contouring.
Quantum RF and the conversation
Radiofrequency technology has also expanded the options in aesthetic medical treatments. Quantum Radiofrequency is another option to be discussed when dealing with body contour or concerns about tightening of tissues.
Technology, however, is only a part of the treatment. The most sophisticated devices cannot replace the careful selection of a patient, anatomical expertise, or surgical judgment. When they consult patients should know the reason why a specific technology is recommended as well as what it’s supposed to accomplish, as well as what limitations they face in their specific situation.
Brazilian Buttlifts May Change More than just the buttocks.
Brazilian buttlifts are a wonderful example of how contouring today involves relationships between various parts of the body. The procedure is done using a patient’s own fat that was removed from certain donor regions. It is transferred to the buttocks.
The final image is a combination of two aspects: the shaping of the areas where fat has been removed, and the addition, if needed to the volume. The abdomen, waist hips, flanks, as well as buttocks all influence how the final silhouette looks.
Personalized Planning is More Important than a Trend
The popularity of a particular procedure or method should not be the primary factor in choosing an aesthetic procedure. Two people with an enlarger waist may differ in their expectations of weight distribution, skin elasticity and body proportions.
PRM Cosmetic Surgery emphasizes individualized treatment, and offers choices for body contouring treatments that are tailored to the individual’s goals. An extensive consultation allows for an examination of anatomy, procedure selections and recovery times, potential risk factors, and achievable results before deciding if surgery or other treatments for aesthetics are suitable.
