Body sculpting assumes an individual is at his ideal body weight for his height and body type and desires to remove localized collections of fatty deposits ( bulges ) from certain areas of their body. When completed there is a smooth body line and in some instances a well defined muscle curvature..People verbalize that they want to tone and firm which actually means they want to alter their body composition and lower their % body fat while maintaining or slightly increasing lean muscle mass. This is accomplished by removing the fatty tissue that lies on top of the muscle so it is visible and palpable. When the area is palpated it feels firmer because one is feeling muscle which is denser than fat.
Body sculpting will result in a loss of inches more so than actual poundage. Fat occupies more space than muscle. Therefore if you were to replace five pounds of fat with five pounds of muscle your weight would stay the same , but you would lose inches, look smaller ( thinner ) , and have a lower % body fat.
