You could be an ideal candidate for body contouring if you have loose skin, droopy body parts (like the buttocks or breasts), or fat in areas that are hard to lose. The abdomen, lower back, hips, flanks, and neck are all areas where stubborn fat can collect, causing unsightly bulges. Good candidates for body contouring at Infusion Body & Skincare are Missouri City, TX men and women who are at a healthy, ideal weight and desire a firmer, more defined look.

Because each body contouring treatment plan is so highly personalized, the most important first step is scheduling an initial consultation so we can talk with you about your needs and our medical staff can do a thorough evaluation of problem areas you’re wanting to fix. Your individualized plan can include both nonsurgical and surgical procedures. Surgeries, such as liposuction, abdominoplasty, and breast lift or augmentation, will typically require general anesthesia and may be performed in stages for best results. Our skilled practitioners will work to minimize the appearance of scars by placing the incisions in less visible areas. Nonsurgical treatments include laser liposuction, laser skin tightening, and injectable fillers. With proper care, the surgical results of body contouring can last for a long time. The best way to maintain your results is to stay at a stable weight.

How much does body contouring surgery cost?

The cost for surgical body contouring will depend on what’s included in your personalized treatment plan. During your initial consultation, we will talk to you to understand your needs and goals before performing a physical assessment. We can then give you suggestions and help you develop your unique surgical plan. After this, we will be better able to estimate your costs and explain your payment options. Infusion Body and Skincare takes many payment types, including low-interest financing.

Will insurance pay for my body contouring surgery?

Although most elective surgeries are not usually covered by insurance, it is possible that body contouring may be paid in part by your insurance. If excess skin is causing medical problems, like reoccurring infections, you may be able to apply for coverage from your health insurance. Coverage varies based on your insurance carrier and individual policy, but if you’d like to use your insurance, talk to us about it in your initial consultation. A member of our team at Infusion Body and Skincare will help you talk to your insurance for maximum coverage.

What will be part of my body contouring surgery?

The combination of procedures will be outlined during your consultation. Your body contouring may be scheduled in stages depending on your general physical health and how many areas are being addressed. Generally, the stages will be grouped by combining either the upper body (stomach, breasts, arms, face, neck) or the lower body (thighs, butt, flanks, knees). This staging is done to minimize the risk of complications, such as infection and blood loss. This also makes your recovery easier and faster.

Will I have scarring after my surgery?

In general, certain body contouring procedures will create scarring. Most patients report that when the incisions have fully healed, the scarring is no longer a worry since the results are so impressive. We will make every effort to minimize the appearance of scars by placing the incisions in natural skin folds or less visible areas. Scar care management after surgery is also important. Topical ointments might be recommended to improve your healing. In time, your scars will fade and blend in with your normal skin tone.

How long will my body contouring results last?

With proper care, the surgical results of body contouring will last a long time. To help maintain your results, you should maintain a stable weight. Significant changes in your weight or pregnancy after your body contouring surgery can impact your results. Your body will continue to age naturally, so you will eventually see loose skin develop as you get older. Ask us about tips that can help you sustain your results.
