Ultrasound-assisted fat contouring: areas and recovery

A particular body area may remain a concern regardless of exercise or weight change. Whether a procedure is appropriate requires an assessment of your body and health.

Areas and methods

Ultrasound-assisted fat procedures are one option, but the same method does not suit every area. Discuss the area of concern, previous procedures, desired change and available approaches.

Results and recovery

Discomfort, bruising, skin response and recovery vary. This approach should not be assumed less burdensome or better for skin firmness than another procedure. Review the expected course and precautions before treatment.

Key points

• Distinguish weight concerns from localized contour concerns.
• Decide on the method and scope during a consultation.
• Discuss recovery and aftercare.

Share the area that concerns you and any previous procedures.
