Body Contouring in San Antonio

No matter how hard you exercise or how much you diet, some stubborn stored fat deposits, such as love handles and saddle bags, are hard to eliminate. Seeing these deposits can be discouraging when you’ve worked hard to achieve your ideal silhouette. At Hill Country Plastic Surgery we offer body contouring in San Antonio which solves this problem by removing stored fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise while tightening your skin and creating a sleek figure.

What is Body Contouring?

It is important to note that body contouring is not a weight loss method; instead, it shapes the body and addresses specific areas that do not respond to weight loss efforts. Alternatively, body contouring can address extra skin resulting from significant weight loss or aging.

Body contouring is an umbrella term describing treatments that help smooth, tighten and shape the body. Examples of body contouring results include:

Fat reduction
Cellulite treatments
Skin tightening
Removal of loose and sagging skin
Reshape or sculpt the treatment site
Muscle tightening and toning

Common sites for body contouring include:

Arms
Back
Belly and flanks (love handles)
Buttocks
Neck and chin
Thighs

Some body contouring options are non-invasive or non-surgical, which means they don’t require surgery to shape areas of the body. Nonsurgical body contouring is called lipolysis, which uses cold, heat, lasers, and other energy methods to sculpt your body while tightening the skin.

Surgical body contouring options are associated with more risks and increased recovery but generally provide more noticeable results. Procedures include lifts and tucks, which remove excess fat and extra skin, and liposuction, which reduces fat deposits.

The breasts are lifted by removing excess skin before repositioning the breasts in a more youthful position on the chest wall. You can achieve a sculpted and shapely silhouette by adding augmentation with implants.
