For a long time, people thought of body contouring in simple terms eliminating fat and make an area smaller. Cosmetic surgery today is much more sophisticated. The surgeons now take into consideration the patient’s body shape, desired shape, proportions to fat distribution, as well as skin quality before they recommend a treatment plan.
These factors are considered when a procedure is performed at PRM Cosmetic Surgery. There are numerous options, such as liposuction and fat transfer or other techniques that can improve skin laxity. Surgeons have the option of using many methods to create a body contour.

Good Liposuction Starts With Proportion
When patients are looking for the most effective liposuction procedure it is possible to focus on the quantity of fat that can be removed. Another important aspect to consider is how the fat removal process can affect the overall appearance of a person.
Removal of fat from the abdomen, for example, can alter the way that waists are positioned to the hips. Treatment of the flanks could enhance this transition. The importance of precision is that the aggressive reduction of fat doesn’t always translate to better. It is important to create smoother contours while keeping the patient’s frame.
PRM Cosmetic Surgery provides the latest treatments, like Tumescent Fat Suction. Treatments are tailored to meet the specific needs of the patient as well as their aesthetic goals.
Why skin quality deserves attention
The skin and fat react differently. Although liposuction can remove the fat in a specific area, it doesn’t mean that the skin overlying the fat will shrink as you would like.
For that reason, skin tightening can become an important part of the conversation. Factors like the age of the person, genetics, weight changes, pregnancy and elasticity levels may affect how the skin reacts following shaping.
Technologies such as Renuvion J-Plasma could be considered if a treatment plan involves concerns about tightness of the skin. Rather than viewing tightening as an afterthought, surgeons can evaluate skin characteristics as they design the body contouring plan of first.
Quantum RF How it Fits into the Conversation
The use of radiofrequency technology in aesthetic medicine has widened the options. Quantum RF is an alternative method which can be considered when addressing body contour and tissue tightening issues.
Technology, however, is just one element of treatment. The most sophisticated equipment will not substitute for the need for careful selection of the patient in deciding on a surgical procedure and anatomical knowledge. Patients should know the reason why a specific technique is suggested. They should also know what the device is meant to accomplish and the limitations that are applicable to their case.
A Brazilian Butt Lift is more than the Buttocks.
A Brazilian butt lift offers an excellent illustration of how modern contouring involves the interaction of different areas of the body. The procedure is done using the patient’s own fat that was removed from certain donor areas. The fat is then transferred to the buttocks.
Therefore, the final visual appearance can be attributed to two elements that are aimed at reshaping areas in which fat is removed, and enhancing volume where needed. The final appearance can be affected by the abdomen, waistline, flanks and hips.
A Personalized Plan is more Important Than A Trend
The choice of cosmetic procedures should not be based solely because a particular method or technology is popular. Two people with slimmer waists could have different expectations regarding the distribution of fat, skin elasticity and proportions.
PRM Cosmetic Surgery is a specialized treatment, and offers body contouring options that are designed around the individual’s needs. An extensive consultation allows for an analysis of anatomy, procedures and recovery times, potential negative effects, and risks before deciding if surgery, or other cosmetic treatments are right for you.
