5 Cosmetic Procedures to Help You Achieve Your Desired Body

It’s rare for anyone to go through their entire life, loving every single aspect of their body. In fact, it’s probably unheard of. And when you have done everything that you can in the gym to try and get that desired body shape you want, there’s sometimes only so much you can do. Stubborn fat might feel like it’s never going to go away, or certain features just don’t look how you wish they would.

Luckily, there are a variety of cosmetic procedures that can help. Here’s 5 we recommend to anyone looking to achieve their desired body.

CoolSculpting

Sometimes no amount of exercise or dieting can ever get rid of that last stubborn layer of fat. CoolSculpting has quickly become one of the leading minimally invasive non-surgical fat reduction methods. It targets fat cells on problem areas such as the lower abdomen, thighs and waist.

This particular procedure utilizes a laser to freeze and break up any unwanted fat. This means that the targeted cells are dramatically reduced without any damage to surrounding tissue. Get the results you’re looking for in as little as 2 to 3 hour-long sessions. The best part? Since it’s a non-surgical fat loss treatment, you’ll be able to get back to your everyday routine with minimal downtime.

While CoolSculpting will provide excellent results to some patients, others may have a better outcome with other procedures such as liposuction. Your surgeon will be able to help you figure out which option is the best choice for you.

Liposuction

This is a minimally invasive technique considered the gold standard in getting the body that you desire. It removes undesirable fat through small incisions to contour and reshape your body. Liposuction scars are incredibly minimal, and the procedure requires significantly less downtime than other surgical options.

Like CoolSculpting, liposuction targets stubborn fat that just won’t go away. Common areas that are treated include inner or outer thighs, arms, love handles, stomach, chin and more. Using this technique, you’ll be able to recreate muscle definition you have always wanted no matter how much exercise you may do. While liposuction can be used on people of all ages, individuals who have poor skin elasticity, significant scarring or stretch marks might not be the right candidate for this particular procedure.

One of the benefits of liposuction is that the recovery time is quick! After only a few weeks, you’ll be able to live your best life—and feeling more confident than ever.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most popular procedures when it comes to cosmetic surgery. This surgical procedure is perfect for anyone who wishes to enhance the way they look. Maybe you don’t fill out your bathing suit in the summer, your breasts are unequal in size, or you just don’t feel as confident in your body as you’d like to. Whatever your reason, breast augmentation might be the right answer for you!

There are two kinds of implants you can get: silicone and saline. Silicone implants are filled with medical-grade silicone gel to give you a similar feel to natural breast tissue. Saline implants are filled with a saltwater solution. This type of implant is typically less expensive than silicone implants and require smaller incisions. However, patients may experience slight rippling or wrinkling under the skin with this type.

Arm Lift

A Brachioplasty is a perfect procedure for anyone who may experience little to no change in the shape of their arms despite the work they put in at the gym to tone them. If you find that your arms sag or hang loosely, an arm lift might be for you.

After you and your surgeon has determined the degree to which the arm lift will need to be performed, you are put under general anesthesia for the procedure. You’ll be able to see thinner, smoother results.

Breast Reduction

While increasing your breast size is definitely an option, it isn’t the only one. Breast reduction surgery has grown in popularity over the years for women all over the world.

Many people decide to have a breast reduction to change the size, weight and shape of their breasts as larger breasts can bring some uncomfortable side effects for some women. Some of the most common reasons women have a breast reduction include relief of pain, the improvement of their quality of life as well as improving self-confidence.

Large, heavy breasts can cause pain in the shoulders, upper back and neck. They can also contribute to bad posture, leading to worse aching symptoms in the long run. Skin irritation is also a likely side effect since extra support is needed when you have large breasts. This can result in bra straps leaving behind marks and indentations, which can cause severe pain over time.

What defines a desirable body is entirely up to you. Whether you want bigger breasts, smaller ones, a flatter stomach or a larger bottom, you have complete control. Your plastic surgeon will work with you and go through all your options so you can obtain the body that you have always wanted.
With more procedures to choose from than ever before, you will be able to get the body you want. Don’t let your self-esteem hold you back any longer. McLean Clinic offers a wide variety of cosmetic procedures to get to you looking the way you have always wanted. Contact us today to find out how!
