Body and Breast
Whether looking to achieve a renewed shape or accentuate your naturally beautiful self, the body and breast services of Esteem Penn State Health Cosmetic Associates provide various options for both breast and body procedures.
Body Contouring
Body contouring treatment options offer solutions for those hoping to tighten or reshape parts of the body that have lost elasticity or shape. For example, substantial amount of weight loss, either because of weight loss surgery or lifestyle changes, can cause the skin and tissue to lack elasticity to adapt to reduced body size.
Plastic surgeons use body contouring techniques to remove excess skin and help to achieve the individual’s desired shape and figure following significant weight loss.
What is body contouring?
Surgical body contouring removes excess sagging skin and fat while improving the shape of the underlying support tissue, resulting in better proportioned appearance with smoother contours.
Body contouring procedures:
Breast Treatments
Breast sculpting is based on tailored procedures, including augmentation with breast implants, breast lift procedures and breast reduction techniques, which can be combined to provide a natural and pleasing cosmetic outcomes.
Effects of weight change
Large weight gain can enlarge the breasts significantly and cause the surrounding skin to stretch and thin. Subsequent weight loss typically causes breast volume loss, but leaves stretched thin skin, with overall breast droop. This situation commonly requires both augmentation and breast lift procedures to restore breast shape. Clients with mild and moderate weight changes may be able to achieve desired breast shape with breast implants alone.
Weight loss after breast procedures and other procedures may alter the results achieved originally following surgery. At the first consultation, the Esteem team assesses each individual’s needs and forms a tailored approach to achieve the desired goal.
