Allentown Body Sculpting
What is body sculpting? Fitness professionals don't always like to admit it, but there are some things even sit-ups and bicep curls can't fix. As the body ages, it accumulates localized deposits of unwanted fat in places that muscle building simply can't touch. That's where body sculpting and body contouring come in: at the intersection of fitness and technology. Using advanced surgical techniques, the terms encompass procedures that "clean up" those problems that basic fitness can't eliminate. In short, body sculpting/contouring is your pathway to the lean, sleek figure you want.
Today, newer, advanced liposuction technologies (like Smartlipo laser liposuction) allow the lipo surgeon to finely sculpt body areas that may not have been accessible with the larger cannulas used in traditional liposuction. These new liposculpture techniques have greatly increased the possibilities available from surgical body sculpting and body contouring.
How does body sculpting work? First you identify your problem area – and then you can work with one of the board-certified physicians at Aesthetic Surgery Associates liposuction clinic to come up with a liposculpture-based solution, which may include any of the following:

Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent liposuction is a well-established procedure made even safer in the hands of a board-certified plastic surgeon. Tumescent liposuction involves the surgical insertion of a suction tube (called a 'cannula') through which fat cells are extracted. A saline-based solution ('tumescent') is used to loosen up the area addressed, provide some anesthetic, and generally make fat removal easier. Liposuction enables a physician to remove fat deposits and re-sculpt specific areas of your body: your arms, your back, or anywhere that excess fat accumulates.
Abdominoplasty ('Tummy Tuck')
Tummy tucks, which target an area that presents a problem for nearly everyone, take a double-pronged approach: removing excess fat while surgically tightening abdominal muscles at the same time.

Body lift
Body lift procedures contour your entire body at once rather than targeted areas. Surgeons remove excess fat from several areas at once to create an overall sleek and sculpted profile. Body lift techniques can also be used on specific regions of the body such as arms or thighs.
For whom will Allentown body sculpting be effective? Anyone who needs some extra help to reach their body-image goals. Can it give a significantly overweight person the body of a supermodel? No. Instead, it builds on the foundation that you have already created – a foundation of fitness and other good body-maintenance habits. It takes your body that extra mile – or, in this case, that extra inch or two, taking off that little bit of flab and fat that no amount of calisthenics is going to fix.
