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

By Ysabel Vitangcol on May 23, 2023

Whether you want to tighten your tummy, trim down your thighs, or streamline your silhouette, there are various treatments available here at Belo to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

What is body contouring?

Body contouring aims to reshape an area of the body. From weight loss to sculpting, surgical and non-invasive procedures are available at the Belo Medical Group.

Surgical Procedures

  1. 360° Liposuction

If you’re seeking a tried-and-true method for eliminating unwanted fat deposits, look no further than Belo’s 360° Liposuction. 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.

2. 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.

Non-Surgical Procedures

  1. Emsculpt Neo
    A couple hundred crunches in less than an hour is how an Emsculpt NEO session feels like. This device uses a combination of electromagnetic energy and radiofrequency to simultaneously burn fat and build muscle. It’s like having your very own personal trainer, but without the sweat and tears!
  2. Exilis
    Say goodbye to stubborn cellulite with Exilis! This remarkable machine harnesses the power of radiofrequency to tighten skin (increasing collagen and elastin production). It hits two birds with one stone not just improving your skin texture but also losing the unwanted inches!
  3. iWave
    The latest addition to our roster of body contouring, uses focused radial microwave (Microwave HyperO2 tech) and hyperbaric oxygen propulsion– that synergistically work to melt localized fat, treat cellulite, and tone the skin in specific regions of the body.
  4. Myosculpt
    This treatment is great in helping sculpt your abs! Combining the power of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and electromagnetic energy, patients will feel like they did a killer workout after this treatment. The difference between this and Emsculpt, however, comes with Myosculpt being an all-around slimming and toning process, while the former is considered an “add-on” to your workout routine, amplifying it. Find out the difference between the two here.
  5. Onda Coolwaves
    Onda Coolwaves is here to dissolve fat, tighten, and contour skin that helps firm up body tissues! Using innovative microwave technology, this non-invasive treatment targets fat cells while leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed. It’s like waving a magic wand and watching your love handles disappear!
  6. V-Contour Ultra
    V-Contour Ultra is considered an “add-on”, an injectable that contains a plant-based cocktail of slimming and fat-eliminating ingredients. This can also be done in the face, and is also probably the “fastest” amongst the procedures – you can be done in 5-10 minutes!
  7. Viscerosculpt
    This technology combines ultrasound energy and radiofrequency to target deep layers of fat, helping you achieve a slimmer and more sculpted silhouette. This is the only treatment scientifically proven to melt visceral (body fat) for those wrapped around internal organs.

So many 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, that’s why we greatly recommend getting a consultation with a Belo physician first!
