Body Contouring – Unknown Facts

There are countless reasons men and women elect to contour their bodies. From postpartum mothers to extreme weight loss achievers, surgeons can now help sculpt a body back into its best shape. Today, Pearl Recovery will uncover 5 important facts about body contouring that you may not have been aware of, from its inevitable emotional effects to potential age limitations.

1. Body Contouring is for More than Just Weight Loss

Body contouring is also referred to as body shaping or body sculpting, and men and women everywhere are turning to this procedure to finally achieve their body goals. From arm lifts to vaginal shaping, no area of the body is off limits.

Contouring encompasses a broad set of plastic surgery procedures, like tummy tucks and breast augmentations, that aim to alter the body’s aesthetics. Most commonly, to achieve this sculpted look, large amounts of excess skin are removed from the body and stubborn fat cells are destroyed. While contouring is widely known as a surgical procedure for weight loss, it’s really much more than that.

2. Contouring is Different for Men and Women

Because men and women have different physical makeups, each gender’s contour-focus varies, and no two procedures are exactly alike. For example, body contouring for women is commonly for rounding and shaping the breasts, sculpting the inner thighs, and trimming the abdomen. Men often require a different focus because of their difference in fat distribution. Their procedures typically include breast reductions, trimming waistlines, and sculpting the abdomen.

3. Contouring Affects you Psychologically

Aside from the physical change that comes with a body sculpting procedure, many patients don’t consider the emotional and psychological change they’ll undergo as well. Professional contouring drastically changes your body image, and while it’s a step toward a more body-positive one, the emotional after-effects can linger well past recovery. It’s best to start mental preparations before you undergo your major body contour procedure. With a plan in place, you can recover mentally and physically.

4. All Ages Can Undergo Body Contouring

There is no age limit for most cosmetic surgeries, and body contour procedures are no exception. If you are healthy, your weight has stabilized, and you are a non-smoker, then age is no restriction. Teenagers below 18 years of age must have permission from a guardian to undergo sculpting, and other limitations may vary by state and medical practice.

5. Everyone’s Contour Timeline Varies

Everyone’s body contour timeline varies. Because each person’s procedure is different, the planning, surgery, and recovery stages will all vary in time. Some patients may require a waiting period before surgery to meet the ideal procedure weight and have an extensive recovery period. Others may fully recover weeks after their procedure.

To help ensure you’re fully recovered as soon as possible, you must maintain a healthy, stabilized weight and remain a nonsmoker. With the right habits in place, your contour timeline should exceed expectations.
