The first question many patients think of before diving into body contouring is: Am I a good candidate? An important question, to be sure. Not every patient and treatment are going to be the best match, and by matching the right person to the right treatment we can see the best results. At TruSculpt Miami, we help inform our patients whether or not non-surgical body sculpting could be a viable option for their body sculpting goals.
Understanding What truSculpt Is Designed to Do
This body contouring system is not intended for weight loss, but rather for sculpting the body for those individuals seeking a toned appearance. Many of our patients have lost a significant amount of weight but are left with localized areas of fat that they are unable to burn off despite participating in regular exercise and eating a healthy, balanced diet. These areas may include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms.
We are interested in adding truSculpt to our treatment menu as a means to improve body contour in resistant areas. This is considered a body sculpting treatment, meant to enhance existing shape, not to induce weight loss. Interested candidates are encouraged to inquire further.
Good Candidates Often Share a Few Key Traits
1. You have stubborn fat in specific areas
One of the most common reasons our patients are interested in truSculpt is that they have a few areas of the body that don't seem to respond to diet and exercise, including their belly, love handles, and other areas where fat tends to accumulate.
2. You are close to your goal weight
truSculpt is better suited for those already on a healthy path or who are trying to fine tune their body shape and are close to their ideal weight. Major weight loss however would be tackled through a physician-assisted weight loss program.
3. You want a non-surgical treatment
Several of our patients have asked for body contouring options that do not involve surgery. truSculpt is attractive to these patients because it provides a non-surgical alternative.
4. You have realistic expectations
What to expect from truSculpt? The candidate for truSculpt should have a general idea of the kind of reshaping that truSculpt can achieve – i.e. it is not intended to undertake extreme surgical type re-contouring. However, a good candidate is realistic, patient and understands that most optimal results are achieved by patients who incorporate healthy and lifelong lifestyles.
5. You want a treatment that fits a busy lifestyle?
Many of our patients in Miami look for a treatment with minimal downtime. truSculpt is another body sculpting option that patients incorporate into their busy lives.
Who May Need a Different Approach First?
Unlike most of our patients who start off with body contouring surgery, you would first benefit from weight loss programs and or bariatric surgery in order to reach your ideal body weight. Then, we can reshape your body through one of our multiple body contouring options.
- Physician-supervised weight loss
- Hormonal or metabolic evaluation
- Lifestyle optimization
- A broader treatment plan for body composition improvement
A follow up question on whether truSculpt would still be an option down the line. The answer is yes, but you may get the best value out of it to use this technology after you have worked on larger weight or health goals and are just looking to chisel out last little bit of fluff.
Why Consultation Matters
The best way to determine whether you would be a good candidate for truSculpting is to schedule a personal consultation with us. We will discuss a variety of factors to help determine if this procedure is right for you.
- Treatment goals
- Areas of concern
- Body shape and anatomy
- Current lifestyle habits
- Medical history
- Expectations for results
At TruSculpt Miami we believe in a custom approach to body sculpting. Some patients are ideal candidates for truSculpt alone, while others may benefit from a combination of treatments to reach their goals.
Common Reasons Patients Choose truSculpt
Patients often choose truSculpt because they want:
- A smoother waistline
- Improvement in stubborn belly fat
- Better contour through clothing
- A non-surgical option before events or seasonal travel
- Support for results after weight loss
In my experience working with clients, it is often common for someone with low body confidence to want to be 'fixed' into a new ideal body shape, but true body confidence is about embracing the body you already have and feeling comfortable in the health effort that you're already doing.
Realistic Expectations Lead to Better Satisfaction
Keep your patients informed – they will be happiest if they have an understanding of what your treatment can offer. TruSculpt is not a weight loss solution, but rather a contouring option that will focus on a particular area that may not have been reached through diet and exercise.
Patient selection is very important to achieving the results that contour lifting can provide. The well-informed candidate understands that the intent of this procedure is to improve contour and that he or she is seeking a personally-tailored, medically advised solution.
