Working hard for your weight loss goals can be extremely rewarding. If you’ve hit your goals, then congratulations! You’ve made a great choice for your health and your body. It can be frustrating, however, to reach your goals and still find that some fat remains no matter what you do. In this case, Dr. Kayastha offers some great procedures to help you refine your results and boost your confidence in yourself and your body. It can be difficult to determine which procedure fits you best, though, so here’s a quick guide to figuring out your next step in your weight loss journey.
CoolSculpting Cosmetic Procedure Reduces Fat Over Time
CoolSculpting® is a completely noninvasive nonsurgical fat reduction treatment performed through a series of sessions. This fat freezing procedure uses cryolipolysis to target stubborn body fat beneath the skin. A cooling handpiece gently suctions the treatment area into a molded applicator and delivers controlled cooling. The treated cells crystallize and become dead fat cells, which the body gradually processes and eliminates.
CoolSculpting can treat several areas of the body with subcutaneous fat, including the abdomen, thighs, flanks, double chin, bra fat, and uppers arms. It may be especially helpful for reducing stubborn belly fat or other localized bulges that do not respond to diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure, and ideal candidates should be at or near their normal weight before treatment.
There is typically little to no downtime. Dr. Kayastha can create a personalized treatment plan based on the treatment areas, amount of fatty tissue, and desired outcome.
Liposuction Eliminates Fat Pockets With Minimal Downtime
A liposuction procedure is a minimally invasive option for eliminating localized excess fat. This time-tested approach to body contouring may be appropriate for patients with good skin elasticity who want to address stubborn fat that has not responded to healthy lifestyle habits.
Liposuction uses local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of treatment. Small incisions are made so a thin metal tube called a cannula can be inserted. The cannula breaks apart and suctions away unwanted fat. Afterward, the incisions are closed, and patients typically wear a fitted compression garment to minimize swelling and support the treated contours.
Smaller treatment areas of localized fat may be addressed in the office with the aesthetic surgery, with recovery typically lasting one to three days. Treating multiple or larger areas may require a hospital setting and approximately one to two weeks of recovery. Although liposuction removes fat cells, patients can still gain weight, potentially affecting their long-term results.
Tummy Tuck Corrects Stretched Muscles and Excess Skin
Tummy tuck surgery, also called abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the midsection by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissues. This procedure may benefit patients with loose skin, weakened abdominal muscles, or stubborn fat following pregnancy, aging, or significant weight changes.
During the procedure, Dr. Kayastha makes a lower abdominal incision and repairs separated abdominal muscles using sutures. The underlying connective tissue may also be tightened to create a firmer abdominal wall. Any remaining fat pockets can be reduced, and the skin is repositioned to improve sagging skin and produce a smoother contour.
The resulting tummy tuck scar is generally placed low enough to be concealed beneath most underwear and swimsuits. A tummy tuck may remove some stretch marks located on the excised skin, but it cannot eliminate marks outside the treatment area.
A tummy tuck involves general anesthesia and several weeks of recovery, but it can provide more extensive results than noninvasive treatments. During your consultation, Dr. Kayastha will evaluate your concerns and recommend the most appropriate aesthetic plastic surgery option for your goals.
