What Are the Best Post-Pandemic Body Contouring Options?

3 Minute Read: 

After nearly two years of COVID restrictions forcing people indoors and out of their regular gym routines, many men and women are dealing with the physical effects of their more sedentary lifestyles. 

As life returns to normal, you may be thinking of ways to tone your body. While regular exercise and a healthy diet are ideal approaches to reducing body fat, certain areas prove resistant to these lifestyle modifications. Fortunately, body contouring plastic surgery options can help you get back your pre-pandemic body.

Body contouring surgery addresses unwanted body changes, such as stubborn fat that resists exercise and dietary adjustments. 

Read on as we discuss the body contouring procedures that will get back your ideal body shape.

Liposuction to Sculpt Your Perfect Figure

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes fat in strategic areas to enhance your figure. This procedure is most effective for people close to their ideal body weight who want to cut excess fat that doesn’t seem to go away with a healthy lifestyle. 

Apart from the abdominal area, liposuction also targets other areas with unwanted fat in your body, such as buttocks, thighs, upper arms, calves, ankles, chest, inner knees, and back.

Tummy Tuck to Restore a Trimmer Waistline

Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) is a gold standard surgical procedure that addresses excess fat, sagging skin, and weak muscles in the abdominal region. 

By surgically addressing these concerns, you are left with a more slender and tighter midsection. Tummy tuck surgery is ideal for those individuals who yearn for but struggle with attaining abdominal definition. 

With this procedure, women can better achieve the ideal hourglass figure (as liposuction is commonly combined with a tummy tuck). At the same time, men can say goodbye to the unwanted pooches or beer-bellies that stand in the way of their chiseled abdomens. 

Mommy Makeover for Long-Lasting Body Changes

Mommy Makeover surgery may be ideal for women who want to target several body areas at once. This comprehensive surgery combines multiple body contouring processes like liposuction, breast lift surgery, tummy tuck surgery, and breast augmentation (with implants). 

Despite the name, Mommy Makeover surgery is appropriate for anyone who wishes to address their full-body contour and achieve a noticeable and total transformation.

Not all surgical procedures can be performed at the same time. As your safety is the top priority, you will need to undergo a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to learn which procedures can be performed together.

QWO® for Eliminating Pesky Cellulite Dimples

Even after you address excess fat and loose skin, you may still be left with unwanted cottage cheese-looking cellulite dimples. Sadly, even diet, exercise, and plastic surgery procedures are often not enough to get rid of the unsightly pockmarks and provide smoother skin (particularly on the buttocks and upper thighs). 

Fortunately, there is now a new way to get rid of your cellulite for good. QWO® is the only FDA-approved injectable for unwanted cellulite. This non-surgical treatment targets the fibrous bands that cause cellulite and forces them to release, allowing for fat redistribution and collagen production.

QWO® requires a series of three treatments, usually spaced three weeks apart.

As of now, QWO® is only FDA-approved for treating cellulite in the buttocks.
