    Liposuction vs Body contouring

    Many people may think that liposuction is a body contouring process. Still, the best plastic surgeon, Dr. Yasser Badi said that however both surgeries are cosmetic surgeries that aim to improve the shape of the body. Still, liposuction includes removing accumulated fat by suctioning it from specific areas of the body. Special tools are used to help break down fat cells and suction them from the body to improve the figure and reduce the accumulated fat from different body areas such as the thighs, arms, abdomen, and buttocks.

    Body contouring is a broader term that includes a variety of cosmetic procedures that aim to improve and modify the appearance of the body in general. These procedures may include liposuction, improving muscle definition, reducing or enlarging desired parts, and tightening the skin. These procedures are also performed using different techniques such as traditional plastic surgery and non-surgical techniques.

    Candidates for Body contouring procedures

    Dr. Yasser Badi confirms that the body reshaping procedure is not suitable for all people, and some people are more candidates for this procedure than others, these people are:

    • People who suffer from sagging skin or fat accumulation in specific areas.

    • Patients must have a body mass index of less than 30 to be candidates for body contouring surgery.
    • The patient must be suitable for fat injection, as the extracted fat is used as a filler in body reshaping operations.
    • There must not be any medical condition that prevents the patient from undergoing body sculpting surgery.

    The difference between body contouring for men and women

    Many people believe that the body contouring process is intended for women only, but this is a completely wrong concept. The body sculpting process aims to obtain an ideal figure and treat defects that result from various reasons. This applies to men as well as women, as there is no fundamental difference in the details of the process itself between both genders, but there is a difference in the areas targeted for sculpting between men and women.

    Body contouring for men

    Often men tend to undergo body shaping surgery when they gain excess weight, which affects areas such as the abdomen, sides, chest, and neck, leading to reduced movement and activity, and causes health and appearance problems.

    Many men also seek to improve their appearance through sculpting operations, which are considered in some cases essential treatment, such as gynecomastia treatment.

    Body contouring for women

    For women, sculpting operations target different areas such as the abdomen, chest, arms, sides, buttocks, etc. Stubborn fat is usually accumulated in these areas that are resistant to diet and exercise, however, body sculpting is the most effective way to get rid of it.

    In general, there is no difference in the preparation and basic steps for the body sculpting procedure between both men and women. However, there is a difference in the areas where the procedure is performed, as a man’s body is completely different from a woman’s body in areas such as the breasts, buttocks, arms, and neck.
