Body Contouring in Tijuana
Losing a significant amount of weight is a wise decision. But the skin that stretched to accommodate the additional fat is still there. Furthermore, persistent pockets of fat in certain body locations may persist. Excess skin is typically unpleasant in addition to concealing the body’s new contour. It may potentially obstruct mobility depending on its position and can increase the risk of chafing.
Body contouring, often known as a body lift, is recommended for people who experience significant weight loss. It can target the upper, middle, or lower body.
Body contouring involves the removal of extra skin and fat while tightening the underlying tissue that supports the skin. This cosmetic surgery may comprise one or more of the lifts outlined above. In addition, a facelift can help revitalize the features following substantial weight loss. If you’ve recently lost weight and are looking to remove extra skin, Dr. Diego Ampudia can help.

Why Choose Body Sculpting?
Body shaping can help people slim down or reshape their physique. When diet, exercise, and other non-invasive treatments are ineffective, the doctor may propose this operation. Excess skin is also removed during the body contouring operation. Removing excess skin assists the individual in getting rid of sagging, loose, or wrinkled skin that develops due to significant weight reduction. Best of all, this skin removal makes individuals appear younger.
However, not everyone who loses a large amount of weight is a candidate for body sculpting. Age, sun exposure, genetics, and weight distribution are all factors that influence the necessity for body reshaping surgery. Some patients have more skin on their thighs and may require a thigh lift. Others may have more skin on their belly and may require a tummy tuck. Body contouring in Tijuana, Mexico is personalized to the patient’s individual needs.

Types of Body Contouring:
There are two types of body contouring procedures.
Non-surgical
Non-surgical body sculpting has become more popular in recent years. Also called lipolysis, it breaks down fat cells, reducing the amount of fatty tissue. Lipolysis can be accomplished in a variety of ways. They are as follows:
- LASER Lipolysis: In this approach, the surgeon uses a laser to break up fat cells.
- Lipolysis via injection: For lipolysis, the surgeon injects deoxycholic acid.
- Cryolipolysis: The fat cells are eliminated using extremely cold temperatures. This procedure is also called CoolSculpting.
- Radiofrequency lipolysis: uses strong ultrasound waves to get rid of fat cells.
Surgical
For those who want to make the most radical changes to their body, surgery is a great option. The most popular surgical body contouring procedures are:
- Liposuction: In this operation, the surgeon suctions the fat cells out using a vacuum attached to a tube. This is the most popular surgical body contouring procedure. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure.
- Tucks and lifts: These treatments remove excess skin and fat from the body. The approaches vary depending on where the operation is performed. Breast lift, facelift, tummy tuck, and double chin surgery are examples of surgical body contouring.

FAQs about Body Sculpting in Tijuana, Mexico
How Long Does Body Contouring Take?
This will depend on the treatment. Non-surgical body contouring treatments can range from 30 to 60 minutes in length. The precise timing will be determined by the area being treated as well as the technology used. You should also expect to have multiple treatments. Most patients require 1-3 treatments for the best results.
Can It Help Me Lose Weight?
While removing fat will cause you to lose weight, body sculpting is not a weight-loss procedure. It is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle, and to achieve the best results, you should already be at or near your ideal weight.
Is It Painful?
Body contouring is non-invasive, so you avoid the majority of the discomfort associated with liposuction and other surgical procedures. To alleviate pain, a topical or general anesthetic can be used. The most common side effect reported by patients is a slight pinch during treatment and some numbness that may last for a few hours afterward.
