Body Contouring
Achieve a toned, sculpted physique with advanced techniques tailored to your unique goals.
A Better Shape Starts With the Right Plan
Many patients come in because they are frustrated by areas that do not match the rest of their body. The abdomen may hold fat. The waist may lack definition. The thighs, arms, or back may feel out of proportion. Skin may be loose after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.
Body contouring is meant to address those concerns in a targeted way. The goal is not to make every patient look the same. The goal is to improve shape, balance, and proportion while keeping the result natural for your frame.
What Body Contouring Can Improve
Body contouring may help with stubborn fat, loose skin, stretched tissue, uneven contours, or body changes after pregnancy or weight loss.
Common treatment areas include the abdomen, waist, flanks, hips, thighs, upper arms, back, and lower body. Some patients need one area treated. Others need a more complete plan to address several connected areas.

Do you want something else?
Fat, Loose Skin, or Both
A good body contouring plan starts by identifying the real issue. If the main concern is stubborn fat, liposuction may be the right option. If the main concern is loose skin, a lift or skin removal procedure may be needed. If both are present, a combined approach may create the better result.
This distinction matters. Removing fat alone will not tighten significant loose skin. Tightening skin without addressing fat may not create the shape you want. Dr. Weniger will explain which concern is driving your appearance and which treatment makes the most sense.
Surgical Body Contouring Options
Surgical body contouring can create more noticeable changes when excess skin, stretched tissue, or larger areas of stubborn fat are present. Options may include liposuction, tummy tuck, body lift, arm lift, thigh lift, mommy makeover, or a customized combination of procedures.
Liposuction can refine areas of fat. A tummy tuck can address loose abdominal skin and, when needed, weakened abdominal muscles. A body lift may be appropriate after major weight loss. Arm lifts and thigh lifts can help when loose skin is the main concern in those areas.
Non-Surgical Body Contouring Options
Non-surgical body contouring may be appropriate for patients with mild concerns, good skin quality, and limited downtime needs. These treatments can sometimes help with smaller areas of fat reduction, skin tightening, or gradual contour improvement.
Non-surgical treatment is usually more subtle than surgery. It may take more than one session, and it is not the best choice for significant loose skin or more advanced contour concerns. During your consultation, Dr. Weniger can explain what is realistic for your body.

A Custom Plan for Your Body and Lifestyle
Body contouring should fit your anatomy, but it should also fit your life. Your activity level, work schedule, recovery time, weight history, and long-term maintenance habits all matter when choosing the right approach.
Dr. Weniger will evaluate your skin elasticity, fat distribution, body proportions, prior procedures, and goals before recommending a plan. The recommendation may be simple, or it may involve combining procedures to create a more complete result.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Body Contouring?
You may be a good candidate for body contouring if you are close to a stable weight, have specific areas you want to improve, and understand that body contouring is not a weight loss procedure.
Good candidates are usually bothered by stubborn fat, loose skin, or shape changes that remain despite healthy habits. You should also be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about recovery, scarring, downtime, and results.
Body Contouring After Pregnancy or Weight Loss
Pregnancy and major weight loss can change the body in ways that exercise cannot fully correct. Skin may stretch. Abdominal muscles may separate. Fat may remain in certain areas even after weight stabilizes.
For post-pregnancy patients, body contouring may include a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast procedure, or mommy makeover. For post-weight-loss patients, treatment may focus more on loose skin, lower body contour, arm contour, thigh contour, or a body lift.
hat to Expect During Recovery
Recovery depends on the procedure or combination of procedures performed. Liposuction usually has a different recovery than a tummy tuck, body lift, arm lift, or thigh lift.
You may need compression garments, activity limits, wound care, and follow-up visits while you heal. Dr. Weniger and his team will explain your expected recovery before surgery so you understand the downtime, restrictions, and support you may need.
Maintaining Your Results
Body contouring can improve shape, but it does not stop future body changes. Weight gain, weight loss, pregnancy, and aging can all affect your results over time.
The best way to maintain your outcome is to keep a stable weight, stay active, build healthy eating habits, and follow your recovery instructions. Body contouring can give you a better starting point, but long-term habits help protect the result.
