For many people, the idea of body sculpting is somewhat intimidating. These days, the internet abounds with information on every type of plastic surgery procedure available. Unfortunately, not everything you read is the truth, which is why we are debunking some of the most common body contouring myths so that you can trust you have the facts.
Myth #1: I Won’t Gain Weight Again
Although we would love to say that body contouring prevents patients from ever gaining weight again, this is simply not the case. Your procedure will certainly enhance and improve your appearance. However, without the proper diet and exercise, it is still possible to regain the weight you sought to lose. After your procedure it is important to take care of your body, to ensure that you continue to enjoy the results of your body contouring for many years to come.
Myth #2: Contouring is Only for Women
Although we frequently discuss body contouring as it relates to women, there is no reason why men cannot enjoy the benefits of body contouring as well. In fact, male liposuction is the most common plastic surgery procedure for men. Many male patients focus on the abdominal area to regain the fit, muscular physique they desire. We are happy to assist men with their body contouring needs, so there is no need to be shy about creating your best body.
Myth #3: Body Contouring Is a Substitute for Weight Loss
The best candidates for body contouring are individuals who have already made progress on their weight loss journey. Typically, body contouring is most successful in treating those stubborn areas of the body that refuse to submit to diet and exercise routines. Although body contouring is not a substitute for weight loss, it is a perfect complement to your hard work and could be just what you need to bring you to the weight goal you desire.
Myth #4: I Can’t Afford the Cost
Many people assume that body contouring is simply too expensive to afford. However, that is not often the case. Costs vary depending on your unique needs. And since we understand that everyone’s financial situation is different, we accept a wide variety of payments and also offer financing options through Care Credit
