What to Expect from Body Contouring
Patients begin with a custom consultation. Dr. Sonny O listens and carefully assesses each individual to determine the best treatment plan. Patients may choose to target a specific region of the body. Or, they may elect to have a combination of procedures performed in a single surgery, such as liposuction with a tummy tuck.
Body rejuvenation corrects helps you correct sagging, loose skin and restores proportionate contour lines to the body. The recovery time for body contouring procedures varies, depending on the complexity of the procedures and the physical condition of the patient. Liposuction and tummy tuck/abdominoplasty have recovery times that can be a couple of weeks. SculpSure’s downtime is significantly shorter.
