Belle Medical patients walk into one of our clinics looking like their old selves, undergo HD Body Sculpting, and walk out with a better figure and a bright smile. That\u2019s all true, but it glosses over the actual procedure. Most of our prospective patients need to understand what happens during an HD Body Sculpting treatment<\/a> before they\u2019ll pull the trigger on getting the body they\u2019ve always wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what is the HD Body Sculpting process like? We\u2019ll go through the whole journey step by step so you\u2019ll know exactly what to expect from your experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase One: The Consultation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before committing to a procedure, you\u2019ll meet with a member of the Belle Medical team to discuss your goals and evaluate your candidacy for treatment. We\u2019ll take a look at your overall health during this phase, making sure an HD Body Sculpting procedure won\u2019t pose any risks to your well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re found to be a good candidate for treatment, we\u2019ll take a look at your problem areas, go over what you want your new body to look like, and start forming a plan to make it happen. Setting realistic expectations is an important part of this step\u2014if you have a particular goal we can\u2019t achieve, we\u2019ll let you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase Two: Meeting With Lead Medical Assistant<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This phase will be similar to your consultation, but you\u2019ll speak with the lead medical assistant who will be present during your procedure. They\u2019ll discuss pre-op and post-op care and go into greater depth about your treatment sites and the results you can expect. They can also answer any other questions you have about the day of your procedure. During this meeting, the lead medical assistant will analyze your medical history again to make absolutely sure it\u2019s safe for you to undergo HD Body Sculpting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase Three: Prepping for the Procedure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The average patient spends about three hours at their Belle Medical clinic on treatment day, from arrival to the end of the procedure. When you arrive at the clinic, you will sign in, take your pre-op pictures, get procedure lines drawn on you, and get ready for sculpting. You\u2019ll wear your own socks and surgical underwear and\/or a surgical bra that will be provided for you, along with a robe that we\u2019ll place on you while you wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, your provider will be laying out all of the sanitized tools and equipment they\u2019ll be using to perform your treatment, and they\u2019ll attach the local anesthesia that will be used on you to the machine. When you\u2019re settled in, you can pick a show or movie to watch during your procedure or just read or play around on your phone. The medical assistant will then use Hibiclens, an antiseptic that fights bacteria, to clean your skin in all the areas that will be treated, preventing infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase Four: The Procedure Itself<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We will start by numbing the access points (where the cannula will enter the skin to suction out the fat) using a small syringe. Once your treatment areas have been numbed, the provider will go to each access point with a small tool to create miniscule holes just big enough for the cannula to enter\u2014this is what we mean by \u201cminimally invasive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all areas have been punctured, we\u2019ll begin swelling and firming the fat that will be removed using gentle vibrations. This part of the process separates the fat, breaking adipose fiber, and injects the local anesthesia into the treatment area, so that suctioning out the fat will be easier later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once all areas have been firmed and the local anesthesia has had enough time to do its job, we\u2019ll begin suction. This is a smooth, fluid process during which the provider uses a back and forth motion to thoroughly suction your stubborn fat out of each area. This part of the HD Body Sculpting procedure usually takes about an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 5: Post-Op Care<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After your procedure, your provider will give you individualized instructions for post-op care, as well as a more general checklist to follow. Practicing these guidelines will help you recover quickly and maintain the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although you will be able to walk immediately after procedure, you definitely shouldn\u2019t drive, so make sure someone is available to pick you up ahead of time. Cover the seats in the car you\u2019ll be riding in just in case there is leakage through your bandages. You may experience leakage for up to 24 hours after the procedure, but there should be very little after that. Don\u2019t be alarmed\u2014the leaking fluids are remaining anesthesia, not anything physical to be concerned about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend resting for four to eight hours as soon as you return home. To reduce leakage, make sure your body is propped up while you sleep, not laying flat. Do not drive for at least 18 hours after the procedure. You can carefully resume light exercise (for example, one or two miles of walking) 24 hours after the procedure, as long as you follow each session with eight hours of rest. Stay hydrated after your HD Body Sculpting procedure, and avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember to keep your treatment areas clean! Shower once or twice daily, gently scrubbing the access points with soap and water. Do not, however, soak in a bath, hot tub, pool, or any natural body of water for at least seven days after treatment to avoid infection. Also, be careful not to apply ice packs or heating pads to the areas that were treated or use hydrogen peroxide or adhesive bandages on the access sites, which will slow the healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your post-op packet will provide all further details. If you have more specific questions, you can always call your Belle Medical clinic during business hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
