The temperatures outside are slowly starting to warm up, the snow (hopefully) is gone for the season, daylight hours are getting longer, and before you know it, summer will be here! It won’t be long now until we’re trading in heavy sweaters and winter jackets for tank tops and bathing suits. For some, this is what we’ve waited for all winter long! However, if you’re feeling like your “summer body” isn’t ready yet, the excitement of warm weather can quickly turn dreaded at the thought of putting on a bathing suit. If you want to feel confident in your skin this beach season, there are a variety of body contouring procedures that can unveil your dream figure just in time for summer!
Tummy Tuck
One of the most common areas of concern among many of us, especially in a bathing suit, is the stomach. An abdominoplasty, or “tummy tuck,” is a procedure that can remove fat or skin around the abdomen. Ideal candidates for this are typically someone with normal body weight but has excess abdominal skin and fat. However, it can also work on overweight patients or those who have lost a significant amount of weight. Scheduling a tummy tuck now will give you enough time for recovery, as most patients return to work and normal activities within a few weeks.
Breast Augmentation
It’s not uncommon that a patient having a tummy tuck will also have a breast augmentation done at the same time. Many women experience the natural effects of aging, gravity, and post-pregnancy that leave you less than satisfied with the aesthetic appearance of the breasts. Whether you need a breast lift, breast reduction, or implants, the surgeons at Cape and Islands Plastic Surgery will help to create your desired look.
Coolsculpting
No matter how often we exercise or how healthy we eat, sometimes losing that last bit of excess fat seems nearly impossible. While a tummy tuck is one solution to reduce fat around the stomach, undergoing surgery is not for everyone. Luckily, Coolsculpting is an innovative procedure that can freeze away fat cells without any surgery, needles, or downtime. The treated fat cells are crystallized, and in the weeks following the procedure, your body will process and eliminate these dead cells. Coolsculpting can be used not only to treat the stomach, but also back fat, bra fat, double chin, and thighs. So no matter what area of your body you’re self-conscious about, this procedure will leave a more sculpted you!
