What is body contouring?

Body contouring is an umbrella term to describe procedures that sculpt and reshape the figure. Some patients will opt for a single surgery while others may wish to undergo a combination solution, such as a body lift or mommy makeover. In either case, our board-certified plastic surgeons focus on results-oriented strategies that will help you achieve your ideal silhouette.

What are the benefits of body contouring?

Body contouring comes with an array of advantages, including:

Reduction in stubborn fatty tissue
An end to chafing and irritation
Excision of sagging skin
Reshaping of the torso
A more youthful, attractive appearance
Enhanced self-confidence
More clothing choices

What body sculpting treatments can be performed?

Arm lift – An arm lift is performed to trim redundant skin folds in the upper arms, creating a more streamlined upper body profile. Excess skin, fat, and tissue are removed, helping patients reclaim a youthful physique after aging or massive weight loss.
Tummy tuck – Tummy tuck surgery, or abdominoplasty, is an excellent choice for those looking to firm the belly, especially after childbirth. The surgery not only removes bulges of excess skin but also tightens weakened or separated stomach muscles.
Liposuction – Liposuction is a fat loss procedure to reduce stubborn fat cells in the arms, thighs, back, male chest, stomach, and beneath the chin. It is often an add-on procedure that enhances surgical results.
Mommy makeover – A mommy makeover typically involves breast surgery, liposuction, and abdominoplasty but it can be customized to meet each woman’s unique aesthetic goals. Undergoing multiple procedures at once can help reduce downtime and lower costs.

What are the non-surgical options for body contouring?

CoolSculpting – CoolSculpting relies on the power of non-invasive cryolipolysis, a method of freezing fat cells. Once the fat cells are chilled, they can then be discarded by the body as waste, slimming the figure without surgery. Patients typically relax, read, watch movies, or nap during their sessions.
SculpSure – SculpSure is a cutting-edge solution for stubborn fat that utilizes advanced laser energy to reshape the torso. The warming applicators target fat cells without any damage to surrounding healthy skin. Over time, the fat is shed naturally and the figure appears more balanced and youthful.
ThermiTight – This non-surgical procedure relies on innovative radiofrequency energy to induce collagen renewal in the body, enhancing skin vitality and firmness. It is an excellent alternative to invasive surgeries with improvements becoming visible within around 3-4 weeks. Results can last up to five years on average.
