High Definition Body Contouring for the Plus-size Patient

High definition body contouring for the plus-size patient is now a reality. The procedure describes the ability to remove fat comprehensively in a circumferential manner. Comprehensive fat removal results are superior to conventional body contouring procedures as they result in more stunning contour outcomes.

Previously, aggressive fat removal has been avoided in plus-size patients due to the inability to manage skin redundancy. This is because when fat is removed comprehensively, skin redundancy is generated even more. The analogy I use is like de-pulping a fruit. Once you remove the inside pulp, then the outer shell will be wrinkled. This same concern for plus-sized patients has dissuaded surgeons from performing this procedure. Advances in high-definition contouring for plus size patients Today, advances in high-definition contouring have allowed patients to take advantage of skin reduction technique improvements that allow for simultaneous liposuction, i.e., fat removal. Traditionally, liposuction was excluded from patients requiring skin excision or tucking procedures.

This constraint made body shaping difficult in plus-size patients who universally require skin tightening. First, we can use a revolutionary tool that utilizes the combined energies of radiofrequency and Helium plasma technologies. This miracle technology utilizes a narrow wand that is entered through the same portholes used for liposuction to administer energy that effectively tightens collagen molecules.

Tightening of the collagen molecules occurs through a shrink-wrapping effect that, in essence, will tighten all of the skin and underlying tissues. The second advancement involves modifying surgical excision techniques to allow for simultaneous liposuction. When an excision of tissues is performed, the two sides must be undermined or lifted to allow for the repair of the incision line without tension. Differential undermining allows for the mobilization of tissues without compromising blood flow so that liposuction can be performed safely.

The benefit of high definition body contouring for the plus-size patient is real. The old days of debulking by traditional excision techniques are past us. Today, plus-size patients should expect high-definition body contouring outcomes that demonstrate proper curves in females and muscle definition.
