You do not have to know before you come in. If the concern is fat, Fun Sculpting micro-liposuction is usually the answer, and it tightens the skin in the same treatment. If you want a defined abdomen, high definition micro-liposuction. If you want more shape somewhere, fat transfer. Many plans combine two of these, and we sort that out with you at the consultation.

Good candidates are in good general health, at or near a weight they can maintain, and have specific areas they want to change. The consultation is how we find out for certain.

No. Body contouring changes the shape of specific areas. It works best when you are at or near a weight you can maintain and certain areas still do not respond to diet and exercise.

You need to be at or near a stable weight. You do not need visible abs already. The procedure reveals the muscle you have; it works best when there is a moderate layer of fat over it, not a large one.

You will usually notice a change early. Swelling hides the final shape, and results keep improving for several months.

Fat cells that are removed do not come back, and skin that is removed is gone. The fat cells that remain can still grow with weight gain, and skin keeps aging. A stable weight is the best way to protect your result.
