Thank you for your question. To determine the best approach for body shaping and contouring, it is essential to undergo a formal evaluation by an expert in this field. A comprehensive approach involves removing fat with techniques like VASER ultrasound and internally heating the skin using radiofrequency devices such as Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite, and ThermiRF. This combination, known as 4D HI-DEF VASER Liposuction, should be performed by a well-trained body contouring specialist. Additionally, fat harvesting and purification, along with the addition of PRP and stem cells, can be used for injection into muscles, indentations, and cellulite to achieve optimal body shaping and contouring. In a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), fat is injected into the buttocks for contouring and lifting. Fat can also be utilized in other areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves, and face. Treatment of cellulite often involves a combination of Cellfina, subcision, and fillers like Bellafill, Renuva synthetic fat, or Sculptra. If there is significant loose skin, procedures like a tummy tuck/abdominoplasty, breast lift, or brachioplasty may be necessary. Simple liposuction alone will not effectively tighten the skin, so a combination of various methods is needed to achieve the best results in body contouring and sculpting. It is crucial to seek out an expert in this field for a full assessment. Best wishes.

Liposuction alone does not cause gas. However, narcotics can affect your colon and may lead to gas in some individuals. I recommend drinking plenty of water, engaging in light physical activity such as walking, reducing the use of narcotics, and considering a stool softener if necessary.

Gas is not caused by liposuction but can be related to constipation from narcotics. Discontinuing narcotics and using a laxative can help alleviate the issue.

Gas after liposuction is not directly caused by the procedure itself. The use of pain medication, particularly opioids, can be associated with side effects such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, and gas. Consulting with your surgeon can help address any concerns and provide appropriate guidance.
