Body Sculpting
About Body Sculpting
It is often said, “I want firmer, thinner thighs, a flat, tight tummy and sexier legs and arms. I exercise daily and have dieted for years, but I have areas of fat that just won’t go away.” No matter how conscientious you are with your diet and exercise, excess fat in certain places just won’t budge. Those annoying bulges become a source of frustration. Body sculpting targets your trouble spots with surgical solutions. One of the most effective and gratifying ways to resculpt your body is through liposuction. As a stand-alone procedure or in combination with redundant skin excision, Vaser® liposuction uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology to precisely and effectively remove fatty problem areas.
Dr. Jewell is a leader in body sculpting as one of the co-developers of Vaser® ultrasonic lipoplasty www.vaser.com and a consultant for Ethicon EndoSurgery’s Harmonic Scalpel www.ethiconendosurgery.com. He offers all forms of body contouring procedures including Vaser® lipoplasty procedures to contour the abdomen region, bra rolls and posterior waist, the arms and legs, the face and neck, and lower body lifts following massive weight loss. All body contouring procedures have an element of risk associated with them. It is important to understand what is involved with each of them as they relate to your particular needs, and the risks and benefits that are involved. Dr. Jewell will discuss with you after a consultation his recommendations for body contouring surgery and what is involved with a decision to undergo these procedures. Each patient’s needs for improvement in body contouring require an individualized approach. Patient’s considering these procedures are advised that if they are closer to their normal body weight or normal body mass index (BMI) that they will be better candidates than obese individuals.
