Body sculpting? It is difficult to believe that it is now possible to knock our bodies into the shape we have always wanted.
It is especially difficult to believe that it is now possible to do this without months of sweating at the gym or agonizing over aerobics.
So what exactly is 4D body sculpting? The 4D stands for 4 dimensions which, apparently, means there is an added dimension compared to the normal three dimensions.
It is this added dimension which gives a more natural look to the body sculpting.
A body sculpting is a technically advanced procedure whereby surgeons use ultrasound to emulsify and remove unwanted body fat.
It is then also possible to use some or all of this body fat in other parts of the body to shape the various parts of the body.
An example would be to remove unwanted body fat from "love handles" and use the same body fat to help shape breasts.
Because the fat is not heated and the ultrasound process is gentle compared to traditional methods of treatment it is possible to use the fat again.
Surgeons conduct the procedure using the latest ultrasound technology which is minimally invasive and gives minimal pain.
It is possible for men and women to undergo a 4D body sculpting procedure.
Women often want to have cellulite or unwanted body fat removed and at the same time have their breasts shaped or firmed.
The procedure is often used after pregnancy or after a drop in weight.
Men may want to have a defined six-pack.
What happens during a 4D body sculpting? It is not necessary to do the procedure with anaesthetic but some surgeons prefer to use anaesthetic.
Ultrasound waves gently emulsify fat from arms, chest, back, waist, hips, buttocks and thighs as well as from other areas of the body.
The fat is then removed through gentle suction.
It is then up to the surgeon to use an artistic eye to sculpt the body or the part of the body which the patient wants to improve.
The surgeon uses his knowledge of anatomy to bring out the natural curves and in this way the musculature of the body will be revealed.
With this procedure it is possible to for surgeons to achieve a toned and athletic appearance An added bonus to this procedure is that there is a skin tightening effect which is induced during the 4D sculpting procedure which is not possible with traditional liposuction.
The state-of-the-art technology leaves the nerves, veins, blood vessels and surrounding connective tissue relatively intact.
This allows for smooth results and faster healing times, minimal pain, bruising or swelling.
How long before I see results after a body sculpting procedure? Positive results will show immediately after the procedure and results continue to improve for up to three months.
It is important to undergo comprehensive and thorough after-care.
Convalescing times are minimal compared to traditional liposuction..
