A Holistic Approach to Wellness and Body Contouring
Metabolic Health Meets Tummy Tuck
This innovative approach merges metabolic health with body contouring for a transformative journey before, during, and after surgery. It’s designed for individuals addressing both aesthetic goals and underlying metabolic concerns.
Understanding Body Composition
Why BMI Isn’t Enough
BMI is a common metric for surgical risk assessment, but true metabolic health involves more than just weight. Body composition provides a clearer picture by measuring fat, muscle, bone, and water proportions.
InBody Analysis for Precise Health Insights
At Integrated Aesthetics, we use InBody to measure body composition accurately. This quick, non-invasive test (15-120 seconds) breaks down your weight into muscle, fat, and water percentages to guide your body contouring plan.
Interpreting InBody Results: Body Types
- D-Curve Body Type: High skeletal muscle mass (SMM) relative to weight and body fat. Common in athletes, this shape is considered ideal for metabolic health.
- I-Curve Body Type: Balanced SMM and body fat mass. This body type benefits from either muscle gain or fat reduction for optimal health.
- C-Curve Body Type: Lower SMM relative to weight and fat mass. This category includes overweight, underweight, and some healthy individuals who should focus on increasing muscle and reducing fat.
The Meta Tuck: Comprehensive Transformation
Goals of the Meta Tuck
- Support a metabolic and aesthetic journey before, during, and after surgery for stable, long-term results.
- Address concerns like muscle loss and skin laxity proactively for optimal outcomes.
Key Components
Protein-First Diet
Prioritizing protein intake supports muscle maintenance, satiety, and metabolic efficiency. Lean proteins (chicken, fish, eggs, and plant-based sources) help optimize body composition.
Exercise & Strength Training
- Before Surgery: Enhances weight management and overall health.
- After Surgery: Preserves muscle mass, improves skin elasticity and maintains surgica results.
Progress Tracking with InBody
Regular InBody assessments track muscle, fat, and water changes beyond the scale, allowing adjustments for better results.
Weight Loss Medications (GLP-1 Agonists)
GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide regulate appetite and blood sugar, aiding in sustainable weight loss.- Semaglutide: Focuses on appetite control and blood sugar regulation.
- Tirzepatide: Targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors for enhanced weight loss.
Muscle Building & Maintenance
- Emsculpt & Emsculpt Neo: Strengthen muscles, sculpt contours, and target stubborn fat before and after surgery.
- Emsella: Strengthens pelvic floor muscles, improving bladder control, intimacy, posture, and core stability.
Skin Tightening Solutions
- Morpheus8 Body (Non-Surgical): Stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother skin.
- QuantumRF (Minimally Invasive): Uses precise bipolar energy to tighten skin and reduce fat, targeting larger body areas effectively.
Why Choose Meta Tuck?
Meta Tuck is more than a tummy tuck—it’s a full-body transformation that prioritizes metabolic health, long-term success, and overall well-being. By addressing weight, muscle mass, and skin elasticity, this approach ensures lasting, life-changing results.
