While many associate contouring only with the midsection, our protocols address the "Post-Weight Loss" anatomy across the entire frame.
Ideal Body Contouring candidates are near their goal weight but struggle with localized deposits or skin laxity that obscures their muscle definition.
The "Disqualification" Factor: I will turn away patients who view these procedures as a substitute for weight loss. If a patient has a BMI that compromises surgical safety or active medical conditions that hinder healing, we will delay the procedure until those variables are optimized.
In the operating suite, Dr. Ferrari utilizes an "artistic eye" to map out the zones of extraction and tightening. During the procedure, you will likely feel a sensation of firm pressure or a "spicy" internal heat as the Renuvion energy interacts with the subdermal tissues. We utilize specific numbing protocols and advanced anesthesia to ensure that your primary sensation during the immediate recovery is similar to the "deep ache" of an intense workout.
Following body contouring Charlotte patients can expect noticeable swelling and minor bruising during the first 14 days as the body begins the healing process; this is the necessary "biological reset" before the final result reveals itself. While the fat cells are gone for good, maintaining your results requires a commitment to a stable lifestyle. Most patients see their "true" new silhouette emerge between 3 and 6 months post-procedure.
Pricing for body contouring reflects the high degree of customization required for your specific anatomy. Variables include the number of zones treated, the use of specialized tightening technology like Renuvion, and the complexity of the correction. We offer financing through CareCredit and PatientFi to make these transformative procedures accessible to our Weddington and Matthews patients.
With over 11,000 satisfied patients and nearly 25 years of surgical experience, Dr. Ferrari has transitioned away from "old-school" aggressive liposuction in favor of tissue-respectful technologies. Our practice is the logical choice for those who want to avoid the "operated-on" look. We don't just "suck fat"; we use an artistic eye to shrink-wrap the skin to the muscle, providing a result that looks as though it were earned in the gym rather than bought in a clinic.
Yes. In fact, Charlotte body contouring provider, Dr. Ferrari often recommends combining these to ensure that while the skin is tightened, the surrounding flanks are also thinned for a seamless transition.
Renuvion is applied through the same tiny incisions used for liposuction, typically less than 5mm in length. These fade significantly over the first year.
Body contouring is an "inches" procedure, not a "pounds" procedure. While you may lose 5–10 pounds of fat, the primary change is in how your clothes fit and how your skin sits against your frame.
Yes. The garment is the most critical part of your aftercare, as it prevents fluid buildup and ensures the skin adheres smoothly to the new underlying structure.
Absolutely. We specifically market our tightening protocols to patients with "Post-Weight Loss" laxity because traditional methods often leave this demographic with sagging skin.
