Body Contouring

The following individuals can opt for body contouring:

• Adults whose weight loss has stabilized
• Persons committed to leading a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and fitness
• Postpartum women
• Persons unable to lose fat, especially around the buttocks, thighs, and abdomen even with the most rigorous training and diet

The ideal candidates for body contouring are:

• Healthy individuals without any co-morbidities which may affect the rate and process of healing after surgery
• Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic goals
• People who are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-surgery so that they can maintain the results

Although these make you an ideal candidate, the absence of any of these requirements does not disqualify you from selecting body contouring. You can choose body contouring treatment even if you are hypertensive or diabetic. We will recommend your post-surgical care so that even with medical conditions, you can obtain the best results.

The benefits of body contouring include:

• Firmness of sagging skin
• Well-defined abs and other areas of the body
• A toned look of the body
• Removal of cellulite
• Removal of stubborn fat seen especially in the buttocks and thighs
• Effects last longer than other fat loss procedures
• Boosting self-confidence

The time taken for each session of body contouring depends upon the area of the body targeted and the extent of the area. On average, the process may take anywhere between 30 minutes and 3 hours.

The total number of sessions is variable for different patients. It depends upon the number of areas that need to be treated. Your doctor will guide you through this. But most people can expect around 2-4 sessions in 2 weeks. Each session can be spaced 3 days apart.

Here are a few tips that will help you maintain your ideal body after the body contouring procedure:

• Follow a healthy and nutritious diet
• Exercise regularly
• Minimize smoking and alcohol intake
• Maintain proper hydration
• Avoid excess fatty food, oily food, or junk food

No. But the results are long-lasting. They last for 2-3 years. With proper diet and exercise, you can maintain your body weight.

Your doctor will explain in detail all the pre and post-surgery requirements from your end. Here is a basic guideline:

Before body contouring:

• Run all investigations that will be prescribed by your doctor, such as CBC, ECG, FBS, PPBS, etc
• Notify all medical history and medication history to your doctor. You may need to stop a few medicines for at least a week before surgery as per the doctor’s advice.
• Quit smoking and alcohol for at least a week before the procedure or it may interfere with the final result.

After body contouring:

• Avoid strenuous activities and heavy weight lifting for 4-6 weeks. Resume your physical training after clearance from your doctor.
• Avoid wearing make-up for about a week if you do a facelift.
• Abstain from smoking and drinking for about 4-6 weeks post-surgery.
• Wearing pressure garments may be advised by your surgeon.

Body contouring is a safe procedure with minimal risks involved. The risks may include blood clot formation, asymmetrical appearance, scarring, itching, or bleeding. At Kaayakalp, our facility and procedure ensure that these risks are mitigated to the lowest possible extent.

Body contouring results are noticed almost immediately. But healing takes time. So there may be slight swelling and redness in a few areas. The full and desired results are visible usually within 3-6 months.

Body contouring and body sculpting are synonymous and interchangeable terms.
