Minimally–invasive and Non-invasive Technologies used for Body Contouring

by BodySculpt NYC Body Sculpt - Plastic Surgery
Body contouring surgery removes excess fat and sagging skin, and improves the shape and tone of the body. Body contouring in NYC includes a variety of procedures to reshape almost any area of the body and helps individuals achieve a better-proportioned appearance with smoother contours. They include

  • Facelift: to address sagging of the mid-face, jowls and neck
  • Breast lift: to resolve sagging, flattened breasts
  • Tummy tuck: to remove excess skin in the abdominal
  • Lower body lift: to address sagging of the abdomen, buttocks, inner and outer thighs
  • Thigh lift: sagging of the inner thigh
  • Arm lift: to improve sagging of the upper arms
  • Brazilian butt lift: to improve the size and shape of the posterior
  • Mommy makeover: a combination of procedures to corrects a woman’s aesthetic concerns caused due to child birth or weight fluctuations 

Treatment safety and effectiveness have improved with advancements in techniques and technology. Today, there are a wide range of minimally-invasive and non-invasive technologies that can successfully eliminate excess fat and skin that is resistant to diet and exercise. 

The minimally-invasive body contouring options include ultrasound-assisted lipolysis, laser-assisted lipolysis, and radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis. Now a days, both surgeons and patients prefer these techniques over traditional liposuction as they involve minimal scarring, pain, swelling, bleeding and bruising, less down time and treatment time, and shorter postoperative recovery period along with added benefits of skin tightening. These latest devices allow surgeons to perform minimally-invasive body sculpting procedures on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.

Non-invasive body contouring treatment modalities available today include Kybella, Fractora, Vanquish, Liposonix, InMode, VASERshape and BodyFX. These techniques do not require any surgery or needles and can safely treat stubborn fat with little to no pain or side effects.

Minimally-Invasive Technologies for Body Contouring 

Experienced cosmetic surgeons in AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery practices in NYC perform body contouring treatments using the following FDA approved, minimally-invasive and technologies:

  • SmartLipo Triplex - This is a laser-assisted lipolysis device that gently liquefies stubborn fat deposits and tightens loose skin. It comes with three laser wavelengths--1064 nm, 1320 nm, and 1440 nm--that can be used in single or blended mode using Smartlipo’s MultiPlex technology and unique SmartSense with ThermaGuide and ThermaView intelligent delivery systems to deliver optimal results.
  • BodyTite – This device uses patented radiofrequency assisted liposuction (RFAL) technology for body sculpting and achieving significant skin contraction. In the BodyTite handpiece, RFAL energy passes from an internal cannula to an external electrode, delivering focused energy into the adipose tissue and fatty areas. The entire soft-tissue matrix gets heated. The hand piece also aspirates the liquefied fat and coagulates the adipose, fibrous, and vascular tissue. The procedure provides smooth, attractive and natural-looking outcomes.
  • VASERlipo - This system uses ultrasonic energy to heat up fat cells and remove them without causing any risk or damage to surrounding nerves, blood vessels, or connective tissue.

Non-Invasive Techniques 

Non-invasive options available in a leading NYC plastic surgery practice would include: 

  • BodyFX – This fat reduction machine uses a combination of different clinically proven modalities such as radiofrequency energy, deep tissue heating and suction coupled negative pressure. The radio frequency energy distributes heat to the skin and underlying fat, which cause the tissues to heat and contract. The vacuum and controlled energy pulses then work together to provide attractive body contouring results.
  • Liposonix – This innovative technology destroys fat cells beneath the surface layers of the skin with the help of high-intensity ultrasound energy, without harming the skin layer. The treated fat tissue is later removed through the body's metabolic processes.
  • VASERshape – This device combines ultrasound and massage therapy for a safe, effective and relaxing experience. It temporarily reduces the appearance of cellulite on the abdomen, love handles, back, arms, hips, buttocks, thighs and knees.
  • Vanquish - This revolutionary device uses radio frequency energy to target unwanted fat in the abdomen and flanks. It never comes into physical contact with the skin during the treatment. Vanquish treats the largest surface area than any other device in the non-surgical category,
  • Fractora - This advanced fractional radio-frequency treatment provides anti-aging improvements on skin tone and texture for a more radiant appearance through ablation and skin resurfacing. It can improve wrinkles, scars and skin tone in areas such as the lower eyelid, upper eyelid, smile lines, cheeks, mouth and neck.
  • Kybella - This is a deoxycholic acid injection that can reduce the appearance of a double chin and provide more definition to the jaw and neckline.

If you are considering a body contouring procedure, choose a qualified NYC plastic surgeon who has years of experience in performing the treatments. Expert New York body contouring surgeons are proficient in using latest technologies to provide customized procedures. In a reliable AAAASF-accredited practice, you can expect personalized care right from the initial consultation through treatment and recovery.
