At Dr. Carlos Illich Navarro practice, body contouring is a type of surgery that improves your appearance. It is done after having lost a lot of weight. This type of surgery removes extra folds of skin and other surrounding tissues. This gives your body smoother contours.
When people gain a lot of weight, the skin slowly stretches over time. If you lose a lot of weight, your skin may not have enough elasticity to spring back into place. This can cause additional folds of skin tissue.
During body contouring surgery, Dr. Carlos Illich Navarro removes additional areas of tissue. For example, the surgeon may make a cut around your abdomen. This is done to remove excess skin and fat around this area.
If you have lost a lot of weight after weight loss surgery, it is possible that this surgery may be an option for you. You may not like the look of it if it has extra folds of skin tissue.
These skin folds are not only unsightly, but they can also cause other problems. They may include:
- Inconvenience
- Swelling, rash, or ulcers between skin folds.
- Infections
- Hygiene problems in these areas, especially the groin
- Difficulty to walk
- Problems urinating
- Problems with sexual activity
- Low self-esteem
Body Contour Surgery
Body contouring surgery emerges as surgery capable of modifying those bodily characteristics that shape the body, through innovative techniques and healthy procedures, which remove excess fat and excess skin in certain areas of the body.
These actions restore the contour in an aesthetic way, also make it possible to recover body proportions, and significantly increase the tone of the skin as a whole.
This way of correcting excess fat, and correcting flaccidity, which especially occurs in the trunk and extremities, makes it possible for body contouring surgery to become the best option for practicing techniques such as fat transfer, which improve in every sense several parts of the body contour at the same time.
