While diet and exercise can help us lose weight and achieve a healthy overall body shape, there are times when the fat in our bodies can be quite stubborn and prove to be difficult to lose. Even when we eat right and exercise, we may find that we are unable to lose fat in specific body areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms and neck. Fortunately, there are many body contouring procedures that can help us achieve the body contours we desire in a safe and effective manner without the need for surgery.
Body contouring treatments at Corona Clinic help shape, tone, redefine and re-shape the body to achieve the desired body shape, definition and a more natural look.
Why Stubborn Fat Happens
Stubborn fat develops for several reasons, including:
- Genetics
- Hormonal changes
- Aging
- Stress
- Post-pregnancy body changes
- Slower metabolism
Most fat stores are made up of lipids that are stored in adipocytes, also known as fat cells. These fat cells tend to remain even after you lose weight, because some types of fat cells are notoriously hard to shrink through diet and exercise.
Body contouring procedures can address areas like the thighs and abdomen by reducing and eliminating fat deposits through various methods. Ultimately, this process helps to rid the body of unwanted fat cells through proper lymphatic drainage.
What Is Body Contouring?
Body contouring refers to non-invasive or mildly invasive procedures which reshape and reshape the body. Unlike weight loss which decreases overall body mass, body contouring procedures decreases fat in chosen areas and improves body contours.
Modern technologies may include:
- Fat freezing treatments
- Radiofrequency-based fat reduction
- Ultrasound energy
- Laser-assisted contouring
Cool sculpting and Ultherapy use heat to damage fat cells and tissue. The body then absorbs and removes the damaged cells.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Body Contouring
Many patients prefer non-invasive body contouring because it offers:
- No surgical incisions
- Minimal downtime
- Gradual, natural-looking results
- Little to no discomfort
- Targeted treatment areas
- Improved body confidence
Full results take several weeks as the body metabolizes the fat cells that have been treated.
Ideal Candidates for Body Contouring
Body contouring works best for individuals who:
- Are close to their ideal weight
- Have localized fat pockets
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle
- Have realistic expectations
- Want refinement rather than dramatic weight loss
Important: Body Contouring is not a weight loss procedure. It is a surgical procedure to reshape the body once significant weight loss has been achieved.
What to Expect at Corona Clinic
Your body contouring journey starts with a personal consultation at Corona Clinic. Here’s what our doctors will cover during this initial consultation:
- Assess your target areas
- Evaluate skin elasticity
- Discuss aesthetic goals
- Recommend the most appropriate treatment plan
Most treatments are relatively short in duration, and patients can usually resume their regular schedule of work and play.
Maintaining Long-Term Results
When we say “burn” fat cells, we mean that the fat cells are gone for good. Once you get rid of them, your body won’t grow back new ones. To keep them gone, though, you’ve got to stick to a certain set of rules. Here are a few:
- Balanced nutrition
- Regular physical activity
- Staying hydrated
- Following provider recommendations
Sustainable habits help preserve and enhance your contouring results.
