What Is Body Contouring and What Should I Expect From It?

By Ysabel Vitangcol on January 20, 2025

Whether you want to tighten your tummy, trim down your thighs, or streamline your silhouette, Belo offers a variety of treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

What is body contouring?

Body contouring is designed to reshape specific areas of the body.  We offer both surgical and non-invasive procedures to help with weight loss and sculpting here at Belo Medical Group.

Belo Body Reset is one of our comprehensive programs that includes a combination of non-surgical treatments to help you achieve your desired body shape and weight goals.

Surgical Procedures

A. 360° Liposuction

For those seeking a reliable method to eliminate unwanted fat deposits, Belo’s 360° Liposuction is an excellent choice.  This procedure involves making tiny incisions and using a specialized device to suction out excess fat cells. Think of it as a treasure hunt, except the bounty you’re after is a sleeker physique! 

In case you’re wondering, yes – there’s a difference between 360° Liposuction and regular liposuction. From its name, the 360° Liposuction is able to focus on more areas at once that goes all around the body, while the traditional focuses on one area at a time only.

During your liposuction expedition, your skilled surgeon will employ their expertise to target specific areas where you want to bid farewell to the bulge. Whether it’s your love handles or that pesky double chin, they will be able to sculpt you into a masterpiece. Don’t worry; you’ll be comfortably sedated during the entire process.

B. Tummy Tuck

For those dreaming of a flatter, more toned tummy, a tummy tuck may be the way to go. This transformative procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, resulting in a smoother and firmer midsection. It’s like creating a blank canvas for a masterpiece! 

During your tummy tuck excursion, your surgeon will make an incision along your bikini line. They’ll then work their magic, tightening your abdominal muscles and repositioning your belly button to ensure everything looks just right. Don’t worry; you’ll be comfortably napping under anesthesia.

Among our non-surgical options, the Belo Body Reset stands out for its personalized approach, combining treatments like Prime Contour X, Exion™, and iWave with tailored supplements and lifestyle guidance.

So many body contouring treatments! What should I do?

Whether you’re dreaming of toned abs, firm thighs, or sculpted arms, Belo Medical Group’s lineup of body sculpting treatments has got you covered. The choice between a non-invasive and surgical procedure depends on the patient’s individual needs and preferences, which is why we highly recommend getting a consultation with a Belo doctor first!

How long does body contouring last?

The longevity of body contouring results varies based on individual factors and the specific treatments done.

Generally, these procedures can offer long-lasting outcomes, especially when complemented by a healthy lifestyle. However, maintaining results requires consistent habits, as significant weight fluctuations can affect the treated areas. Since each body is unique, it’s essential to consult with a Belo doctor to determine the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your needs.

For a comprehensive and personalized approach, consider the Belo Body Reset program. It includes a tailored plan combining various treatments to help you achieve long-lasting results.

We have clinics located around Metro Manila, Pampanga, Cebu and Davao. Belo’s newest and biggest flagship, NEXA, located in One Ayala, Makati is now open.
