BODY CONTOURING

What is body contouring?

In many cases, exercise and diet are not enough. There are fat deposits that are so stubborn that they cannot be treated with conventional methods. These self-perceived flaws become a problem for many people. They suffer psychologically and withdraw. Body contouring is a holistic procedure to shape the body in which, among other things, fat deposits are removed. This procedure includes many methods and techniques, all of which are suitable for tightening the skin and removing fat. As an alternative to plastic surgery – such as liposuction or surgical skin tightening – good results can also be achieved with minimally invasive methods.

For whom is the treatment suitable?

The treatment focuses specifically on shaping the body according to the patient’s wishes. People who no longer feel comfortable in their bodies have the opportunity to boost their self-confidence through various methods of body contouring. With his work, Dr Duve cares for people of all ages and advises each person individually. Generally, all parts of the body from the neck down to the feet can be treated. Common reasons for body contouring include the following: sagging skin due to advancing age, sagging skin after severe weight loss or one or more pregnancies, or diseases such as lipoedema, i.e. fat deposits that do not go away because they are caused by a disease. Can body contouring replace weight loss? Body contouring cannot replace weight loss. However, it can be treated like a supplement. When people lose a lot of weight, they lose fat, but sometimes the skin does not return to its prior shape. This happens especially when the weight loss is extreme and occurs very quickly. Otherwise, the procedure with its different methods can be used to remove stubborn fat deposits. It is therefore used when simple weight reduction no longer helps and does not deliver the desired results.
