Body contouring is a non-surgical approach to reshaping parts of the body by reducing the number of fat cells in a particular area.
Body contouring procedures work best on the upper arms, thighs, and around the stomach. It works by using radiofrequency technology to destroy fat cells. There are different types of body contouring treatments available, including:
Body contouring is a non-invasive procedure used to reduce the number of fat cells in order to give you a lean appearance. The results from body contouring treatments can be noticed within the first six weeks following treatment, however the final results will not be noticeable until around three months.
Body contouring is more than a procedure—it’s a transformative journey towards a refined silhouette. At Anne Arundel ENT & Facial Plastic Surgery in Annapolis and Severna Park, our expert team believes everyone deserves to feel confident in their skin.

Did You Know?
When you lose weight, you are reducing the size of your fat cells. However, the number of fat cells does not change. This is why some people struggle to lose weight in certain areas. Body contouring procedures, on the other hand, help to reduce the total number of fat cells to eliminate fat from these stubborn areas.
Excess Skin or Fat? Try Body Contouring!
Body contouring treatment works well on those who have lost weight rapidly and have excess skin and fat. Body contouring treatment is also effective on stubborn fat deposits, such as love-handles.
Identifying the Need
- Loose skin post significant weight loss
- Stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise
- Loss of muscle tone due to aging or other factors
- Uneven or asymmetrical body structure
SculpSure®
SculpSure® uses laser energy to heat and disrupt fat cells without damaging other cells. This approach works well to eliminate localized, superficial fat bulges.
truSculpt® iD
Like SculpSure®, truSculpt® iD uses heat to destroy fat cells. However, truSculpt® iD can also improve skin texture and tone, as well as reduce the appearance of cellulite. This is because it uses RF energy instead of laser energy.
Viora Reaction™
Reaction™ delivers RF energy to the subcutaneous layers to heat skin tissues contributing to cellulite. Cellulite forms when enlarged fat cells push against the bands of tissue that separate skin and fat known as septae. RF energy helps to enhance the elasticity of the septae in order to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
The Case for Contouring
Body contouring is not merely a cosmetic endeavor. For many, it’s an integral step towards restoring self-confidence, especially after major life events like significant weight loss. Loose skin or residual fat pockets can often act as reminders of past struggles.
Moreover, as we age, our body naturally loses its youthful firmness and muscle tone. This natural process can leave many feeling disconnected from their bodies. Contouring addresses these concerns, returning a sense of empowerment and confidence.
Lastly, everyone’s body is unique, and sometimes genetics play a role in creating an uneven or asymmetrical structure. Body contouring provides an avenue for individuals to attain their desired body shape, harmonizing their outer appearance with their inner self-image.
