Although a tummy tuck can be an excellent stand-alone procedure, it’s frequently performed with other cosmetic treatments. It’s common for a tummy tuck to be combined with breast augmentation or liposuction as part of a mommy makeover. Some people, however, find that nonsurgical body contouring can be the perfect complement to an abdominoplasty.
UltraShape® and VelaShape™ III Can Target Trouble Spots
A tummy tuck removes loose, extra abdominal skin and can repair weakened stomach muscles for a lean, sleek final result. Men and women who want to enhance the results of their tummy tuck without additional surgery and its related expenses can benefit from UltraShape® or VelaShape™ III. These nonsurgical body contouring procedures really work to treat fatty deposits virtually anywhere on the body, but typically are used to contour the love handles and thighs.
Lunchtime Procedures Can Enhance Tummy Tuck Results
A nonsurgical alternative to liposuction, UltraShape® administers ultrasound energy to the treatment area through a handheld device. The gentle pulses of energy dissolve fat cells, which are then cleared by the body’s metabolic processes. Because it’s a noninvasive procedure, UltraShape® can be performed as a “lunchtime” treatment, meaning your appointment should fit into your lunch break and you can immediately return to your routine. Most people experience optimal results after 3 to 4 treatment sessions.
VelaShape™ III to Reduce Cellulite
VelaShape™ III is another noninvasive body contouring option that can put the finishing touches on a tummy tuck. Not only does this latest VelaShape™ protocol remove stubborn fat deposits without surgery, it can also help to reduce the appearance of cellulite for smoother and more youthful looking skin that further enhances your newly improved figure.
