Body Contouring (Sculpting) in Toronto

What is Body Contouring?

Body Contouring, also known as Body Sculpting, refers to a range of medical procedures designed to reshape and improve the appearance of the body. These procedures typically target areas with stubborn fat deposits, loose skin, or other aesthetic concerns that are not easily addressed through diet and exercise alone. Body sculpting can be surgical or non-surgical, with popular methods including liposuction, tummy tucks, and non-invasive treatments like CoolSculpting and radiofrequency skin tightening.

Surgical body contouring procedures often involve the removal of excess fat and skin to create a smoother, more defined body shape. Non-surgical options use advanced technologies to reduce fat cells and tighten the skin without the need for incisions or extensive recovery time. Whether surgical or non-surgical, body sculpting helps individuals achieve their desired body aesthetics, enhancing their overall confidence and well-being.

Different Body Contouring Procedures

TPS offers various body contouring procedures for Toronto residents. If you have unwanted fat that you are struggling to get rid of, there are multiple options available for you. Here are some of the most popular body contouring and reshaping procedures available at TPS.

Liposuction

A liposuction procedure is used to achieve a contoured and desired look that is often unattainable through diet and exercise. Liposuction treatment utilizes a probe to liquefy and remove unwanted fat deposits. Small cannulas suction fat from the body and help achieve a defined and contoured look.

SmartLipo

SmartLipo uses minimally invasive techniques and revolutionary technology to remove unwanted fat. Laser energy is used to heat, melt, and coagulate targeted fat cells before they are removed by a microcannula.

BodyTite Radio-frequency Assisted Liposuction

This procedure utilizes a probe designed to heat the underlying layer of fat before liposuction is performed. Radio-frequency assisted liposuction reduces the appearance of unwanted fat deposits and shapes and tightens the area by causing tissue contraction.

Abdominoplasty

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, tightens the abdominal wall skin and the abdominal muscles. This results in an abdomen that is flatter, smoother, and more defined.

Thigh-Body Lifts and Micro Fat Transplantation

This procedure has wide variations designed to solve a number of problems and achieve a multitude of results. The entire thigh and buttock can be lifted and contoured. Procedures to lift the inner or outer thigh or buttocks can also be performed.

How Much Does Body Contouring Cost in Toronto?

Many procedures can be performed to help you achieve your ideal body contour. From liposuction to tummy tucks, here is a comprehensive list of all Ontario prices associated with contouring treatments.

How Long Do Body Sculpting Results Last?

How long your body contouring results last depends entirely upon the treatment you receive and how closely you follow aftercare instructions, including maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen to ensure you keep your results. If you follow all aftercare tips and take good care of your body post-surgery, your body sculpting results can typically last for 10 years or longer.

Body Contouring Recovery

After returning home from your body contouring treatment, you should understand that discomfort is part of the healing process but will be managed through medication prescribed by Dr. Bell. Your healing can take several weeks and you may need to wear compression garments to reduce swelling at the incision site. Follow all aftercare instructions for optimal results, including:

• Cleaning any drainage tubes and changing bandages.
• Participating in light movement to avoid blood clots.
• Reporting any complications you have to Dr. Bell and the TPS team.
• Staying out of the sun.
• Using prescribed medications or ointments to control pain and prevent infection.
