Body Sculpting

How does body sculpting work?

Body sculpting consists of applying specific plastic surgery techniques focused on eliminating fat pockets, promoting the appearance of toned skin, and correcting body asymmetry. Plastic surgery today has the ability to enhance virtually any part of the body. Thus, body contouring usually focuses on the hips, thighs, and abdomen, although it can also work on the chest, arms, and buttocks.

These techniques can be applied with excellent results in both men and women. It is important to understand that body proportions and fat distribution depend on gender and body type. In the case of women, the goal is to promote greater volume in the breasts and hips than the abdomen. In contrast, men look more for a V-shaped body, with a flat abdomen and greater volume in the upper muscles.

Among the most common techniques for body sculpting are liposuction and liposculpture in Mexico. Procedures that focus mainly on the elimination of localized fat. In the case of liposculpture, the fat can be purified and refused to give volume to other parts of the body that the patient wishes to achieve a more proportionate body.

5 tips for planning your trip before body sculpting

Traveling abroad offers incredible advantages but, at the same time, some particular challenges. So once the surgery date is set, an assigned advisor will be in continuous contact in order to guide you about the trip and help you solve your doubts. Once you arrive in Mexico, you will not have to worry about the itinerary because you will be guided at all times. Still, it's common for aspiring body sculpting to worry about how to organize themselves for the trip.

Here are some tips that many patients have implemented to have a stress-free trip for medical tourism in Mexico:

1. Make a checklist
   Having a list of personal items is one of the best ways to plan a trip. You can ask your plastic surgeon or patient coordinator what items you need to take with you to the hospital. Above all, ask about those that have to do with personal hygiene, the most appropriate type of clothing, if you need a compression garment, or slippers, among others. This way, you will always be comfortable, especially during your recovery.
2. Free yourself from work stress
   One of the advantages of the foreign tourism system is that you can get an early surgery date. So, make sure you get your leave clearance as soon as possible and check with your doctor about the days you will need before returning to daily activities. This is especially necessary if your job requires rigorous physical activity.
3. Choose your travel companion
   Medical tourism abroad aims to turn medical services into revitalizing experiences. While it is true that body sculpting is an aesthetic treatment, it is also a unique experience. Before plastic surgery in Mexico, patients can enjoy knowing some sites, the hotel's services, the beaches, and much more. So many choose to come with a companion, such as their partner or a good friend, since their emotional support during surgery and recovery is very valuable.
4. Plan who your children will stay with
   If you have children, it may be impractical to travel with them and take care of them at the same time. So, you can expect someone you trust to be able to attend to them while you are away from home. Having it resolved will save you stress and give you peace of mind. Although it will only be a few days, you can also prepare them mentally for your treatment. It can also be helpful to have someone take care of them for the first few days of your recovery, especially if they are small, so you avoid making rigorous efforts.
5. Find out about the care you will require when going back home
   As a general rule, it is recommended to avoid long flights and fly the first 24 hours after surgery. So, most patients will spend a few days in a luxury recovery home or at their hotel. Talk to your doctor about the care you'll need when you return home, especially if you have blood pressure mismatches.

Body sculpting: How to achieve it?

Body sculpting is a way to shape it to make it look slimmer and more toned. There are different ways to achieve a better body appearance through body sculpting, options range from non-invasive techniques such as exercise routines, and body wraps to injections and surgeries.

Getting a sound body sculpting workout requires flexibility and cardio training with light weights or exercise bands to shape and tone the body without bulking up overall. In addition, following an exercise routine contributes to general well-being, helps prevent diseases such as osteoporosis, and favors a better metabolism.

Non-invasive body sculpting options include body wraps that use a combination of natural ingredients, such as specialized seaweed and mud, which are applied to detoxify, reduce cellulite, and tone the body. Body wraps can firm and tighten; however, the results are often temporary.

Mesotherapy is the newer non-surgical yet slightly invasive way of body sculpting and weight management. Through multiple injections of homeopathic and pharmaceutical medicines, including plant extracts, herbs, and vitamins, they aim to diminish the appearance of cellulite and contour the skin.

Nevertheless, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate what is injected, and there have not been many studies on mesotherapy's effectiveness. So this technique may be an avenue to carefully consider if you want to use that option to achieve the experience of having a sculptured figure.

Mesotherapy uses microinjections of homeopathic substances applied directly to treat cellulite and eliminate localized fat. The following is what is achieved through this technique:

• Cellular: stimulates adipocytes to release the fat they contain.
• Vascular: favors local and systemic microcirculation.
• Lymphatic: facilitates lymphatic drainage of accumulated toxins.

Mesotherapy procedures do not require local anesthesia. It is painless and has no adverse effects, perhaps only slight redness and inflammation of the skin where the microinjections are applied.

Body sculpture aims to work on the layers involved, such as the skin, fatty tissue, and muscle layer. It also models the waist, redefines the abdominal perimeter or refines arms, and shapes thighs. And what about the parts that are hard to be molded? For that, there is the lipo 360 in Mexico. This is a cosmetic surgical procedure often used on fat deposits resistant to diet and regular exercise.
