Body contouring technology has evolved rapidly over the last many years, and we're here today to talk about those technologies that are involved with body contouring. We have our awesome group here. We got doctor So to, doctor Arredondo, and this team, doctor Rorick. We're gonna be talking about those technologies today. No, guys, I just wanna hear from, you know, your practices and your experiences, what you've seen change over the last several years as it relates to body contouring. Well, I feel like we jumped on the GLP one, like, sort of weight loss revolution very early. And so early in my career, we started seeing these younger patients with just lots of skin laxity. And so a lot of, you know, a lot of devices really aimed at contracting that skin envelope. And these people worse looking for big surgeries. Absolutely. The complex problem is the bottom line. Right? So Exactly. Tier I think a lot of times in my practice, the patients are are very aware of the skin quantity problem Mhmm. But they're not so aware of the skin quality problem. Right. Right. And that's where I think some of the the newer advancements really kick in. I think as an evolution, what what you mentioned, Jerry, was that we went from just sucking out the fat to volume reduction to true sculpting and shaping. And the technology has paralleled that from initially ultrasound and now the three d and, you know, body sculpting and all those things that helped us refine truly into making it, tier sculpting, much like a rhinoplasty or a face lift. And and I think that's been the evolution, which I think has been exciting because just sucking out fat is no longer Right. That's no longer the way to go. Right. And it's exciting tier in plastic surgery. Mhmm.
