Losing weight is a commendable achievement and can make a positive impact on your overall health, happiness, and appearance. However, weight loss sometimes leads to unwanted cosmetic side effects, like loose skin or stubborn pockets of fat. At Dr. Padma’s Aesthetics in East Greenbush, NY, board-certified physician and aesthetic expert Dr. Padma Sripada is proud to help men and women fine-tune their look with a comprehensive range of nonsurgical body contouring treatments and procedures. While nonsurgical body contouring treatments can certainly be effective for reducing fat and tightening skin, they may not be appropriate for all patients. Keep reading to learn more about how nonsurgical body contouring works and whether or not you may be a good candidate for treatment.

What is nonsurgical body contouring?

Dr. Padma is committed to providing the most advanced and effective technologies available today to help patients achieve their ideal shape quickly and conveniently. To reduce stubborn pockets of exercise-resistant fat, Dr. Padma performs nonsurgical body contouring with the Evolve Trim system. This noninvasive treatment can also help with mild to moderate cellulite and is most often used on the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, and upper arms. In addition to nonsurgical fat reduction, patients can also benefit from Evolve Tite, which tightens loose skin and smoothes wrinkles, as well as Evolve Tone, which helps to improve muscle definition.

I have loose skin after weight loss. Is nonsurgical body contouring right for me?

It is important for patients considering nonsurgical body contouring to understand that the treatment is not designed to be a substitute for diet and exercise, nor can it take the place of cosmetic surgery. For men and women who have lost an extreme amount of weight and have a significant amount of loose, hanging skin, plastic surgery may be a more appropriate option compared to nonsurgical treatments and procedures. Additionally, nonsurgical fat reduction should not be used as a weight loss tool. Instead, patients considering treatment should already be at or near their goal weight and have small areas of fat that have become resistant to diet and exercise. Generally speaking, ideal candidates for nonsurgical body contouring should be:

• In good overall health
• At or near goal weight
• Have maintained a stable weight for at least 6 – 12 months
• Have good skin elasticity
• Have exhausted traditional diet and exercise efforts without seeing desired results
• Have mild to moderate concerns regarding loose skin, stubborn fat, or lack of muscle definition
• Have realistic expectations for their results
• Committed to maintaining a stable weight after treatment

During your initial consultation for nonsurgical body contouring in East Greenbush, NY, Dr. Padma will evaluate your concerns, assess your overall health and history, and determine if you may benefit from nonsurgical body contouring. Generally speaking, patients who have developed the cosmetic side effects of extreme weight loss may be better suited to traditional plastic surgery, though only an evaluation by a professional can confirm that.
