What is body sculpting?
Dr. Yasser Badi answers this question and gives us an overview of this procedure. This process involves slimming and reshaping certain parts of the body by getting rid of stubborn excess fat deposits that do not respond to traditional weight loss methods, to achieve a slim and sculpted figure and improve the body’s proportions to achieve a harmonious body.
Genetics plays a big role in shaping and the way of distributing body fat, in addition to the nature of lifestyle and eating. These are all factors that distribute fat in a certain way that varies from one person to another and of course, cannot be controlled.
Here, liposuction is the solution, due to its ability to achieve local slimming and break down accumulated fat in a specific area.
Can body sculpting be combined with other cosmetic procedures?
Of course, this procedure can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve a specific goal. Among the most famous examples, as Dr. Yasser Badi, the best plastic surgeon in Alexandria, explains are the following:
- Liposuction with tummy tuck to achieve a flat and taut abdomen.
- Liposuction to reduce breasts with a breast lift to achieve an attractive feminine breast.
- 4D body sculpting that targets getting rid of fat, strengthening muscles, and tightening skin and connective tissue.
Body areas could body sculpting target
Body contouring is a very safe procedure, as Dr. Yasser Badi explained, and it can be performed on all areas of the body, including delicate and sensitive areas such as the face and neck.

- The back and lovely handles.
- Buttocks.
- Breasts (breast augmentation in women and treatment of gynecomastia in men).

- Thighs (inner and outer).
Could more than one area be targeted on the same procedure?
Indeed yes, liposuction could be performed on more than one area at the same time, or performed on one area, then the suctioned fat is processed and re-injected into another area to enhance its size naturally. Your plastic surgeon will examine you and discuss the appropriate options for you to achieve your dream look.
