Alabama Body Contouring

Despite a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen, you might have persistent areas of fatty tissue and loose, inelastic skin on your body. Dr. Michael Beckenstein explains to his Birmingham, Alabama plastic / aesthetic surgery patients that there are several factors which can contribute to an unattractive body contour.

The aging process, pregnancy, dramatic weight-loss, and genetics are a few of the factors that may lead you to consider surgical options to improve the shape of your body. If you have good skin tone and elasticity but are unhappy with localized areas of excess fat, you might be a candidate for Birmingham, Alabama liposuction. If your skin tone is poor, a procedure that removes the fatty tissue and excess skin may be indicated. Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is one procedure of this type, used when a patient has excess skin and fat in the abdominal area. If you are within 20% of your ideal body weight and in good health, you might be a good candidate for these procedures. Keep in mind that these procedures are NOT intended to substitute for a weight-loss regimen that includes a healthy diet and exercise.

If you are interested in tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), liposuction, or other aesthetic / cosmetic surgery, contact Birmingham plastic surgeon Michael S. Beckenstein, M.D. and request your Comprehensive Consultation.
