Diet and exercise can help you reach your ideal weight. However, in many cases, stubborn areas of fat or excess skin remain. Body contouring procedures can help get rid of these so that you can reach your ideal body type. 

Also known as body sculpting, body contouring removes pockets of fat and skin from your body to create a smooth contour that inspires self-confidence. If you are considering body contouring in San Antonio, visit the skilled and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Suresh Koneru.

Why Patients Seek Body Contouring

Whether it is through bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, or a combination of diet and exercise, many people in the United States are working to lose weight. However, once the weight is lost and patients have reached their health and body goals, excessive loose skin is often left behind. This skin is often baggy and not elastic.

In other instances, patients may work to lose weight and find that some specific areas have pockets of fat that do not go away despite their efforts. In both cases, undergoing body contouring procedures in San Antonio can help by targeting stubborn fat and removing excess skin.

Candidates for Body Contouring

You may be an ideal candidate for a body sculpting procedure if you:

  • Are at a stable weight
  • Are at least 18
  • Are a nonsmoker
  • Do not plan to become pregnant in the near future
  • Are in general good health without conditions that may impair healing
  • Are committed to a healthy lifestyle
  • Have a positive outlook and realistic goals about what the procedure can accomplish
  • Are internally motivated to pursue the procedure, rather than feeling pressured by societal expectations

 At Advanced Concepts in Plastic Surgery, we help you determine if undergoing body sculpting in San Antonio will benefit your unique goals. 

Benefits of Body Contouring

When you opt for physique enhancement in San Antonio, surplus tissue and stubborn fat are removed to help you enjoy your ideal body type. Body sculpting procedures can alleviate the following issues: loose and saggy skin around your breasts, thighs, and arms; certain areas of stubborn fat that remain even after diet and exercise; and an apron-like overhang in your belly region.

Treating these issues offers many benefits, including alleviating:

  • Frequent chafing
  • Possible skin infections
  • Excessive irritation
  • Trapped moisture between skin folds that can lead to bacterial growth

Body contouring procedures could be the final phase of your successful weight loss experience, creating smooth contours that you can feel confident about.

Body Contouring After GLP-1 Medicines

Many people are using GPL-1 medications like semaglutide to lose weight. Once you have seen results from these medications, you may be interested in procedures to remove excess or sagging skin. Dr. Koneru can help you determine which body contouring procedures will serve you best and when in your weight loss journey they should be performed.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Koneru also offers a number of other body contouring procedures in San Antonio, including:

  • A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, flattens and shapes the abdomen and waist by removing excess fat and skin and tightening muscles. 
  • BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure that not only reduces fat but tightens skin. It is a great procedure for maximizing the amount of skin tightening while also reducing the volume of fat.
  • Liposuction is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that removes localized fat cells from the body, in order to slim and smooth areas that have been unresponsive to diet and exercise.
