The Benefits of Body Contouring: What Does It Do?

At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, body contouring is more than just a cosmetic service—it’s an integral part of our commitment to your overall health and well-being. We offer a range of body contouring options, including advanced procedures such as laser lipo treatment, tummy tucks, and non-surgical treatments like CoolSculpting, designed to help you achieve the shape you’ve always wanted.
 
Our body contouring services are especially beneficial for targeting stubborn areas of fat and excess skin that don’t always respond to diet and exercise alone. By sculpting and refining your body’s natural shape, we can help you enjoy a more toned and balanced silhouette.
 
Beyond enhancing your appearance, body contouring can significantly boost your self-confidence and body image. Many of our patients report feeling more comfortable and self-assured in both their personal and professional lives after their procedures. Additionally, removing excess skin and fat can help reduce physical discomfort, such as chafing or irritation, particularly for those who have experienced significant weight loss.

We also recognize that body contouring can be a motivating factor for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The visible results often inspire our patients to continue healthy habits like regular exercise and nutritious eating. In some cases, eliminating excess skin can even make physical activity easier and more enjoyable.

At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, our team understands that achieving your ideal body shape is not always possible through diet and exercise alone. Body contouring, offered at our clinic, is not a weight-loss solution but rather a set of advanced medical and cosmetic procedures designed to reshape and enhance specific areas of your body. These treatments can help reduce stubborn pockets of fat and tighten loose skin, resulting in a slimmer, more toned appearance.
 
Common body contouring options include liposuction, tummy tucks (abdominoplasty), and innovative non-surgical treatments such as CoolSculpting. These procedures are best suited for individuals who are already at or near their target weight yet struggle with localized fat deposits or sagging skin that doesn’t respond to traditional weight-loss methods.
 
It’s important to note that body contouring is focused on refining your silhouette rather than producing significant weight loss. The amount of fat removed is generally modest, with the primary aim being an improved body contour and a boost in confidence. If you are looking to lose a substantial amount of weight, we recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise, or considering medical weight loss strategies, which our practice can help guide you through.
 
Many patients choose body contouring after major weight loss to address excess skin or persistent fat. Our experienced providers will work with you to set realistic expectations and develop a customized treatment plan that aligns with your unique goals.

At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, we understand that choosing a body contouring procedure is an important decision, and our goal is to help you achieve lasting results that boost your confidence and well-being. The longevity of your body contouring outcomes depends on several factors, including the specific treatment you receive, your unique body type, and your lifestyle habits.
 
Whether you select surgical options such as liposuction or a tummy tuck, or prefer our non-surgical body contouring treatments, we utilize proven techniques to target and eliminate unwanted fat cells. Once these fat cells are removed or destroyed, they do not grow back. However, it’s important to note that remaining fat cells in your body can still enlarge if you experience significant weight gain, which may impact your results.
 
To maintain your new shape, we recommend following a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and a balanced diet. Our team will provide you with personalized post-procedure care instructions and support you with follow-up appointments to help you achieve the best possible outcomes. For those receiving non-surgical body contouring, maintenance sessions may be advised to sustain your desired appearance over time.
 
Factors such as weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and the natural aging process can all influence the longevity of your results. By staying committed to healthy habits and keeping in close contact with our experienced providers, you can enjoy your body contouring results for many years to come.

At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, we offer a range of advanced body contouring options to help our patients achieve their aesthetic goals. Body contouring refers to a variety of cosmetic procedures designed to reshape and improve the appearance of the body by removing excess fat, tightening skin, or enhancing certain areas. Many of our patients seek out body contouring in hopes of reducing the appearance of cellulite, a common condition that creates a dimpled, lumpy texture on the skin, most often seen on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen.
 
It’s important to understand that while body contouring treatments such as liposuction alternatives, non-invasive fat reduction, and skin-tightening procedures can help refine your body shape and target stubborn fat deposits, these treatments are generally not specifically designed to treat cellulite. Cellulite is caused by the unique interaction between fat beneath the skin and the connective tissue above it, which leads to its distinctive appearance. As a result, simply removing fat or tightening the skin may not fully resolve the structural causes of cellulite.
 
At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, we utilize cutting-edge technologies, including laser therapy that may improve skin texture and elasticity, sometimes resulting in a modest reduction in the appearance of cellulite. However, these improvements are typically temporary, and results can vary between individuals. For patients seeking more targeted cellulite treatment, we also offer specialized therapies, such as subcision, injectable treatments, and advanced laser procedures, which may provide more effective results for this particular concern.

If you are considering body contouring or are specifically concerned about cellulite, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our experienced medical team. At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, we take the time to understand your unique goals and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you look and feel your best.
