WHAT IS BODY CONTOURING REALLY LIKE?
HERE’S WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR PROCEDURE
A lot of the work that we do at Music City Plastic Surgery is pretty self-explanatory. Breast augmentation, lip filler, IV hydration — those are all exactly what they sound like. But what about “body contouring”? And what makes it different from the kinds of “lipo” procedures you see elsewhere? The fact is, a lot of the liposuction stuff you hear about is just that — stuff. It’s a marketing gimmick, for the most part. “Hydrolipo” gets tossed around. So does “laserlipo.” But at the end of the day, these don’t really offer anything regular liposuction doesn’t — and that’s what forms the basis of our body contouring process. With something like that, you really don’t want gimmicks. You want reliable results by someone who does it full time — for some reason, it seems that a lot of “pop up” doctors are getting involved in this field. It’s not the sort of thing a generalist doctor or a dentist can do well, though. The safe and correct method involves
Separation, Aspiration (sucking the fat), Fat Equilibration (incorporating fat transfer to smooth out any contour irregularities). You need to find a clinic you trust. A big part of that is safety, of course, especially when it comes to anesthesia. But almost as important is an understanding of the fundamentals and an artistic eye. We call it “body contouring” because that’s exactly what it is. We won’t just remove fat; we’ll look out for the end result, in terms of the aesthetic side and comfort too. Sometimes that means actually adding fat in places — and it always means being judicious in how we use our equipment. It’s not just suction, it’s sculpting.
marks on the skin (our incisions look like scratches the size of a pencil eraser, and they go away quickly!) Want to know more? Give us a call. We’re here to answer all of your questions and help you make the right decisions. And like we’ve been saying, if it’s right for you, we offer “safe-lipo” too!
If you want a gimmick term for our procedure, let’s go with “safe-lipo,”
because you won’t end up with bad results. Although it can take up to six months to be fully settled, the fact is that within a few weeks to a month most people will be all healed up and back to normal, with minimal
INSPIRATION
It can be tricky to find refreshing wine during the summer — as you may have noticed the last few months in this newsletter, where I have spotlighted good old-fashioned water and a summer shandy beer. This month, we return to form with Beaujolais, from the same-named province in France. This is a real thirst quencher, and it’s great with summer barbecue fare as well. No matter how hot it gets, I gravitate toward this wine made with Gamay grapes — low in tannins and thin of skin, they produce a “red” wine in color only. Beaujolais drinks like a white wine, plain and simple. Serve it chilled, just as you would a cold chardonnay, and don’t hesitate to pour an extra measure into the glass. Search out this easy-drinking wine today, and you’ll never be thirsty as the hottest time of the year rolls around. Great for food — and great for getting down a big bite! SIP OF TODAY? IT’S BEAUJOLAIS!
I dwell in possibility.
