Our Approach to Body Contouring

Dr. Cho offers his patients a uniquely comprehensive approach to body contouring, made possible by a number of both surgical and non-surgical options.

Creating Your Ideal Silhouette

Body contouring is a unique practice in that many different approaches can be utilized to achieve a patient’s ideal result. The method by which you’ll enjoy your cosmetic goals will be unique to you, which makes our patient-centric approach one of the hallmarks of our practice. We take the time to get to know each and every patient we serve, so we can develop a treatment plan that balances our ability to create your expected results with your preferred comfort level, downtime, and so forth.

Dr. Cho’s Approach to Body ContouringShrink, Tighten, and Tone for Your Ideal Silhouette

Eliminating Excess Fat

Volume reduction is a major component of body contouring, and we offer numerous ways to achieve this particular goal. Non-surgical options such as CoolSculpting and Emsculpt Neo can help eliminate unwanted fat without extensive downtime. These are devices that help target fat but may also address some additional aspects of body concerns. They do a nice job in addressing incremental changes and fat reduction to help achieve the ideal shape.

When a more dramatic change is warranted, or if Dr. Cho feels the patient will not be happy with an incremental approach, then we shift our approach to more minimally invasive or invasive options such as BodyTite. BodyTite helps to reduce fat and also tightens the skin. We can address larger areas with BodyTite or liposuction, and they can target areas of fat reduction needs. When we start combining these treatments with additional procedures like an arm lift, tummy tuck, thigh lift, etc. then we’re usually reducing large amounts of fatty tissue in addition to helping to tighten saggy skin.

Tightening and Supporting Your Skin

A simple fact of the aging process is that our bodies produce less and less collagen and elastin as we age, leading to increased skin laxity and the sagging or drooping look that can often come with it. We utilize advanced technologies and devices such as Profound, Morpheus8, Sofwave, and more to achieve non-surgical collagen and elastin stimulation. This can make a nice overall change, but it's really reserved for those that show mild to moderate degrees of skin laxity.

On the surgical side, doing things like physically removing the skin is often the best option through such procedures as a tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift and breast lift. If the sagging is more of a mild to moderate degree of skin laxity, and the patient is wanting a stronger result than what a non-surgical approach can provide, then we introduce procedures like BodyTite. BodyTite is minimally invasive and reduces some additional fullness while also addressing skin elasticity as well as some of the sagginess that is visible in the skin.

Toning Your Muscles

Muscle tone is the third component of body contouring and often helps us truly bring our results home in a comprehensive way. We use the advanced technology of EmSculpt Neo which can stimulate intense muscle contraction and build new muscle fibers that can also help enhance the shape and tone of their body.

The other approach that we do surgically when it comes to a procedure like a tummy tuck or physically tightening the muscle units in a more anatomical position. This allows muscles to function more efficiently. Sometimes we even combine this approach with our non-surgical approach to not only realign the muscles in a more anatomic position. We're also building muscle with EmSculpt. When we start combining the skin, fat, muscle combination solutions then we can really enhance and optimize and achieve the best results possible.
