Fat Reduction

Fat reduction is an important component of body sculpting treatments. We offer several liposuction options to remove stubborn body fat on many areas of the body, including the abdomen, back, inner and outer thighs, arms, under the chin, and more.

Standard Liposuction

Standard liposuction is also known as traditional liposuction. It is a surgical body contouring procedure that uses different surgical techniques to remove unwanted fat cells from various areas of the body to help patients achieve their aesthetic ideals. Not only does this procedure remove excess fat, but it’s also performed accurately and precisely to create new body contours.

Standard liposuction is a good option for patients who have tried to lose unwanted fat cells through traditional lifestyle changes, like a healthy diet and regular exercise routine, but have been unsuccessful.

Vaser Liposuction

Vaser liposuction combines standard liposuction techniques with the use of ultrasound technology to gently yet efficiently break apart fat cells during the fat removal process. During the procedure, the surgeon will inject a medicated solution into the treatment area before using the device to deliver ultrasound energy to the fat cells for easy removal.

One of the benefits of Vaser liposuction is that it can destroy fat cells without harming the surrounding tissues and also creates new, more aesthetically pleasing body contours while promoting a quick recovery.

Power-Assisted Liposuction With Microaire

We also offer power-assisted liposuction with the Microaire system, which allows us to perform liposuction to address both smaller and larger areas of the body with precision. The device is equipped with stainless steel cannulas in various sizes to address excess fat on different areas of the body. The device uses gentle vibrations emitted through the cannula to gently break apart fat cells for easy removal.

This technique improves recovery time and allows the surgeon to perform the procedure with little risk to the surrounding tissue. It also promotes long-lasting results and ensures procedure speed and safety. We can use power-assisted liposuction with the Microaire system to treat virtually every area of the body that has stubborn fat, including the most common areas, like the hips, upper arms, abdomen, back, and thighs.

Modern 360 Liposuction To Contour The Midsection

Our Modern 360 Liposuction procedure can complement multiple abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedures. This procedure is designed for optimal waistline narrowing. If you follow social media trends, you may have come across the popular procedure known as “snatching the waistline.” We can add this procedure to your abdominoplasty procedure to help you achieve this desired effect.

Skin Tightening

We also offer non-surgical body contouring with skin tightening technologies like Renuvion and Morpheus8. These treatments are a good option for patients who cannot undergo a surgical procedure, aren’t ready to commit to a surgical procedure, or those who have experienced skin laxity that doesn’t yet require a surgical procedure.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is a microneedling device that uses bipolar radiofrequency energy and microneedles to gently heat the dermal tissues of the skin and stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a protein that naturally gives the skin elasticity and structure. As new collagen and healthy tissues are regenerated, patients can enjoy tighter skin that enhances their natural curves. Many other skin conditions like fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, rough skin texture, and hyperpigmentation can be improved with Morpheus8.

Renuvion

Renuvion is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that can reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face and improve the appearance of the neck using helium plasma energy to force a contraction of the skin to tighten and smooth the area. It delivers natural-looking results and doesn’t require surgical techniques to address or improve the appearance of excess skin.

During treatment, a tiny wand will be inserted below the skin’s surface to deliver radiofrequency energy and helium plasma into the tissue to promote collagen tightening and growth. Patients only need a single treatment to see the best results, which can become evident in the week following treatment and will continue to improve as the skin heals.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Body Contouring?

Patients who want to achieve specific body goals they can’t reach with just dietary changes and an exercise routine make good candidates for body contouring procedures and treatments. Whether you want to take a surgical or non-surgical approach to body contouring, we can create a treatment plan that’s right for you. Depending on your goals, you may benefit from more than one of our body contouring options.

During The Procedure

Body contouring can be performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the type of procedure you receive. IV sedation is only an option for surgical procedures like liposuction. Morpheus8 may not require any anesthesia, depending on your comfort level. The procedure takes an average of 1-2 hours, depending on the number of areas being addressed and whether you choose invasive procedures.

After The Procedure

Non-surgical body contouring requires minimal downtime while surgical body contouring involves a short recovery. After liposuction or Renuvion, mild swelling and bruising is common. Patients may need to take a few days off work but most daily activities can be resumed within 3-7 days. Strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks after liposuction.

Results will develop gradually as the treatment area heals or as new collagen develops after a Morpheus8 treatment. Patients can expect a more toned appearance and smoother, tighter skin. Results are long-lasting if you stick to a healthy diet and exercise regimen.

The Importance Of Understanding The Treatment Options

If you choose to undergo one of our liposuction procedures, it’s important to note that liposuction is a way for men and women to achieve specific body-shaping goals, not lose significant weight. Contrary to popular opinion, liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, and it cannot help obese individuals reach their goal weight.

Instead, it’s a body contouring procedure that can help even the fittest individuals reach specific physique goals. It’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle after your procedure and avoid significant weight gain to ensure the longevity of your results.

Frequently Asked Questions

what is body contouring? Body contouring includes a variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures aimed at reshaping, tightening, or enhancing specific areas of the body. This can involve removing excess fat, tightening skin, or contouring the underlying tissue to improve overall appearance. How long do body contouring results last? The duration of results depends on the procedure, your lifestyle, and the natural aging process. Surgical procedures generally provide long-lasting results, while non-surgical treatments may require maintenance sessions to keep results looking their best. How much does body contouring cost? The cost of a procedure can vary based on factors such as the type of treatment, the practitioner's expertise, and the location. For detailed pricing information, please reach out to our practice today. What are the side effects of body contouring? Common side effects can vary depending on the procedure, but may include swelling, bruising, discomfort, numbness, and longer recovery times. Our team will provide you with a comprehensive list of potential side effects to be aware of before your procedure. What happens if you gain weight after body contouring? Weight gain can impact your results by causing fat to accumulate in untreated areas or stretching the skin, which may reverse some of the contouring effects. While fat cells removed during procedures like liposuction won't return, significant weight gain can lead to the development of new fat cells in the treated areas. Who should not get body contouring? Body contouring may not be suitable for individuals with unstable weight, those planning significant weight loss after the procedure, pregnant or nursing women, or people with serious medical conditions. A consultation is the best way to assess your candidacy for the procedure. What body contouring procedures does Modern Surgical Arts of Denver offer? At Modern Surgical Arts of Denver, we offer a variety of body contouring options, including standard liposuction, Vaser liposuction, power-assisted liposuction, Modern 360 liposuction, Morpheus8, and Renuvion. What is 360 Body Contouring? 360 Body Contouring is a comprehensive body sculpting technique that targets multiple areas of the body, including the abdomen, flanks, back, and waistline, to create a more balanced figure.

Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, lower back, upper back, and waistline. Some patients may also combine this treatment with additional contouring of the thighs or arms to achieve a more comprehensive transformation. What is recovery like after 360 Body Contouring? Recovery time varies depending on the areas addressed. Most patients experience mild swelling or soreness for a few days to weeks and can return to normal activities within one to two weeks.

Results begin to appear as swelling subsides, with full results typically visible within three to six months. Patients who maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine can experience long-lasting results. Can 360 Body Contouring be combined with other treatments? 360 Body Contouring is often combined with complementary procedures such as skin tightening, fat transfer, or muscle-toning treatments to enhance results. Your provider will customize a plan tailored to your specific goals and body type. See All
