What is Non-Surgical Body Contouring?

Non-surgical body contouring uses cutting-edge, safe, and effective technology approved by the FDA to permanently eliminate fat cells and achieve fat reduction in fatty deposits in the body.

Premier Plastic Surgery uses truSculpt® iD to assist you in achieving your aesthetic goals. truSculpt® iD is versatile and practical, enabling the technology to safely deliver to a wide range of patients who may not be candidates for other body contouring procedures.

truSculpt® iD uses Radio Frequency to kill fat cells permanently. It is one of the few FDA-approved non-surgical fat-reduction devices, with an average fat reduction of 23% on each treatment.

Contact Dr. Hankins at Premier Plastic Surgery to determine if non-surgical body contouring suits you! We are happy to serve patients in Houston, Pearland, Lake Jackson, and the surrounding areas of South Houston.

What are the Benefits of Non-Surgical Body Contouring?

Patients who receive non-surgical body contouring procedures often experience the following:

Increased collagen production within the body for tighter, healthier skin

Permanent loss of stubborn fat cells

Appearance of a leaner physique and more youthful appearance

Who are the Best Candidates for Non-Surgical Body Contouring?

Most patients can safely undergo this procedure. Ideally, patients should be at their optimal, stabilized body weight before undergoing non-surgical body contouring. Any contouring may be offset by fluctuating weight gains or loss.

What to Expect on the Day of Non-Surgical Body Contouring Treatment

The truSculpt® iD treatment involves applying therapeutic pads to the patient. These pads are portals that deliver monopolar radiofrequency to the fat deposits that concern the patient. The procedure itself only requires 15-30 minutes.

Radio Frequency energy can selectively heat the fat layer, causing disintegration of adipocytes and apoptosis of the subcutaneous fat cells. The treatment mimics the feeling of a hot stone massage, so the area being treated may feel warm but not hot.

A member of our staff will continuously monitor patients to ensure their comfort.

Non-Surgical Body Contouring Recovery

Patients undergoing a non-surgical body contouring procedure will need little to no downtime afterward. The procedure resembles receiving a hot stone massage, and most patients may resume normal activity immediately.

Non-Surgical Body Contouring FAQ’S

Is Non-Surgical Body Contouring Painful?

The procedure is minimally uncomfortable, and many patients who have undergone it have compared it to a hot stone massage. While patients may experience mild sensitivity to touch for a few days, there have not been any reports of post-procedure pain.

How many appointments will I need?

A personalized treatment plan is designed for each patient during their consultation. It is recommended to have between two to four treatments, eight to twelve weeks apart, for optimal results.

Typically, only one treatment is required for most patients to achieve the body definition they’re looking for, and there is no downtime after the procedure unless you have other body sculpting procedures along with truSculpt iD. Patients can return to work immediately following the treatment.

How Long Until I See Results?

Maximum results are visible after 12 weeks, and the average percentage of fat reduction in the treated area is around 24%.

Please note that results in the destruction of fat cells are permanent, as the number of fat cells in the treated area are naturally removed from the body. However, it is up to the patient to maintain a healthy diet and exercise habits to ensure that new fat cells do not form.

In addition to truSculpt® iD, Premier Plastic Surgery offers a variety of additional non-invasive technologies for skin tightening and the treatment of stretch marks and scars to assist you in meeting your personal goals.

Can I combine Non-Surgical Body Contouring with other procedures?

Patients often request other low or minimally-invasive procedures in addition to their non-surgical body contouring treatment to achieve an entirely refreshed, reinvigorated look. Please schedule a consultation at Premier Plastic Surgery so we can help you develop a customized treatment plan that meets all your aesthetic goals.

Non-surgical body contouring procedures result in few risks. However, some patients may experience the following as a result of their treatment:

Redness
Swelling
Tenderness in the treated area
Temporary numbness
Peeling or scabbing
