BODY SCULPTING

When achieving the ideal body, you have always wanted, more than diet and exercise may be required. There can be stubborn areas that are difficult to target and tone, which can be frustrating. Dr. Giese offers various body sculpting treatment methods to help you best achieve your aesthetic goals. She provides many options, from non-invasive Ultraslim™ and EMSCULPT® to minimally-invasive liposuction and removing the excess arm, thigh, or abdominal skin, as necessary.

ELECTIVE WEIGHT LOSS™ - A NO DIET DIET

Excess weight increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Just 10 - 15 pounds over your adult low weight can have negative medical, negative psychological and of course, wardrobe consequences. Staying on a restricted calorie diet for a sustained period is challenging and typically takes longer than one thinks or desires. Everyone wants a quick fix, but slow and steady is the path to success here.

This is where Semaglutide comes in. It cuts the appetite, resulting in less food intake and weight loss. People can expect ½ to 2 pounds a week loss.

How Does It Work? Semaglutide is the active ingredient of the FDA-approved medication (Ozempic® and Wegovy®) for weight loss in people with obesity and overweight individuals with type 2 diabetes.

It will decrease your appetite by slowing stomach emptying. You will achieve satiety quicker, resulting in eating and drinking less. This fullness will last longer, reducing the desire to eat again or consume more. Dr. Giese’s professional team will adjust dosage based on your appetite suppression while minimizing discomfort.

Who’s A Good Candidate For ELW-- Elective Weight Loss™
Anyone who has seen their weight drift up (even as little as 8 pounds), who is having difficulty getting weight off and keeping it off.

· People with a BMI of 20 - 30, normal to medically overweight people who are “overweight” relative to themselves.
· Otherwise, healthy people with excess weight being their main medical problem. 

Why A NO DIET DIET 

· I am intentionally not recommending “a diet.” A “no-diet diet” has been found to be equally if not more effective than any specific restrictive diet plan. Everyone’s lifestyle and relationship with food is different and changes over time. You are all adults. I am not going to tell you what to eat and be the food police. 

· You will find that you will become more efficient in your eating. You will likely spend less money and lessen overall food waste. Take this time to observe and reflect and make small changes to you r nutrition intake. If you desire more assistance, our nutritional health coach, Kate Stempl, who will be checking in with you weekly, will be happy to help. 

· Eating less is generally consistent with longevity. Particularly with supply chain issues, possible food source scarcity and inflation, there are many reasons to incorporate a lifestyle less dependent on large amounts of food for satisfaction. 

“My first weight reduction program was called Fast Track to Better Health which incorporates large volume liposuction into a successful weight loss program. This program still holds today but now I can offer a non-surgical, natural tool to suppress one’s appetite and help anyone achieve their weight loss goal.”  

EMSCULPT®
It is a unique body sculpting treatment that stimulates muscle contractions to build muscle and tone. During this revolutionary treatment, muscles are forced to contract, burning fat and helping create a more defined, toned shape. While EMSCULPT® is used to treat the abdominal areas, it can also be used for a non-surgical, non-invasive butt lift.

ULTRASLIM™
A non-surgical alternative to traditional liposuction that can help remove stubborn areas of fat. The only FDA-approved device for immediate size reduction. It is not uncommon to lose four inches in your first 32-minute session. This treatment method does not necessarily destroy fat cells. Instead, fat cells are preserved, and their contents—fatty acids and triglycerides—are drained through red light therapy. 

LIPOSUCTION
A popular surgical treatment for targeted fat removal. Dr. Giese uses ultrasound-assisted liposuction, an advanced treatment technique that removes stubborn fat and helps tighten skin. Not only can this help remove pesky pockets of fat, but collagen production is promoted for a smoother, firmer appearance. Lose more inches per pound than any other method of weight loss. 

BREAST ENHANCEMENTS
Natural breast augmentation, as opposed to breast enhancement using implants, allows for an improved breast shape and size using your own fat which is removed from a donor location using a minimally invasive liposuction technique. Unlike traditional liposuction. Donor locations are chosen depending on individual needs and may include areas such as the abdomen, love handles, thighs or back.  

Another option is The Power Breast Lift, known as a mastopexy. Used to correct sagging breasts, this procedure raises and reshapes. Dr. Giese performs a special “internal bra” technique during this procedure, re-arranging the breast tissue under the skin to self-support the breasts, thereby requiring little to no brassiere support following surgery.  

Dr. Giese’s motto: “Promote health and wellness, enhance body image and strengthen the psyche to improve overall quality of life.” She understands that confidence is vital, and our cosmetic procedures allow you to dramatically improve the aesthetics of your body, enhancing both your physical and emotional well-being.
