Surgical body sculpting is not something to be entered into lightly. It should be considered as a last resort when other methods, such as evaluating your eating and fitness habits, have been tried and exhausted. That being said, there are stubborn parts of the female anatomy that are extremely difficult to trim and firm. (Saddle bags, anyone?) And that’s where cosmetic surgeon Dr. Frank Ferrin comes in. Dr. Ferrin, Elite MD, Coral Gables, FL, uses an innovative approach to body sculpting by providing patients with a full range of services that combine fitness with surgery. His practice is partnered with Elite Training Concepts, a nutrition and fitness training program run by Dr. Ferrin’s son, exercise physiologist and Master Trainer, Chris Ferrin, which provides patients with support in weight management and muscle building. Once a level of fitness and shape has been achieved, Dr. Ferrin contours excess skin or fat from patients’ bodies, leaving them with results that he claims are superior to traditional liposuction.
Many patients looking to transform their bodies turn to either exercise or surgery, but not both. Dr. Ferrin believes that the best results come from using the two methods simultaneously and that by combining both exercise and body contouring, patients can achieve a more natural look at much lower costs and risk.
“Most patients are looking for a natural look that makes them feel great. By implementing both fitness and nutrition strategies in conjunction with body contour surgery, patients will gain a flawless appearance that is never overworked and always breathtaking,” he says. Using lifestyle changes in combination with surgery, Dr. Ferrin has given many patients their desired results and at a fraction of the downtime afforded by full body surgery.
His philosophy is logical: “In order to sculpt the body around the muscle, there must first be muscle in place,” says Dr. Ferrin. “The human body is a work of art and I truly enjoy helping my patients to realize their full aesthetic potential. “The best procedures are ones that leave a patient looking like the procedure was never performed. A natural outcome is always the best.”
