4 Ways to Know if You’re a Candidate for Body Contouring

Are you self-conscious about a muffin top or love handles? Maybe you’ve wanted liposuction to sculpt your thighs or maybe you’re looking for a way to banish saggy skin after pregnancy. In either case, you’re probably asking, “Is body contouring right for me?”

What is body contouring?

Body contouring refers to any procedure that enhances your silhouette. Sometimes body contouring is called body sculpting because these procedures allow you to “sculpt” your body shape by removing excess fat and excess skin.

Due to the nature of a non-surgical procedure, not everyone is an ideal candidate. Our technicians will take your healthy history and conduct an examination to determine if body contouring is right for you, but in general, these 4 signs may indicate that body contouring is right for you.

  1. You are a non-smoker
