Body Contouring
Body contouring, or body sculpting, can eliminate fat, shape areas of the body and tighten skin.
Body contouring is one of the hottest topics today. Anyone concerned with their appearance can benefit from an adominoplasty (tummy tuck), body lift, CoolSculpting®, fat grafting, liposuction, or thigh lift. It doesn’t matter if you have extreme goals or simply want to address one tiny, stubborn area, these are procedures that are individualized to meet your vision.
If you’re considering body contouring for yourself or your child, this information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure-when it can help, how it’s performed, and what results you can expect. It can’t answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on your individual circumstances. Please be sure to ask your doctor if there is anything you don’t understand about the procedure.

Liposuction can be used to reduce deposits of fat from the hips, buttocks, thighs, upper arms, abdomen, waist, breast, chest, calves, ankles, inner knee, neck, chin and cheeks. Liposuction reshapes and sculpts specific areas using a few different methods.
Although incisions are required to allow the cannula to enter for suctioning, they are so small that stitches are not even needed. Depending on the desired results, secondary procedures may be needed when a larger quantity of fat is being removed.
A tummy tuck is another very popular body contouring procedure. This returns a flatter, tighter and more desirable abdomen. Excess fat and skin are removed which can often restore separated or weakened muscles. If localized fat is the concern, abdominal contouring surgery is typically performed instead, using liposuction techniques. Incision patterns are carefully planned according to the patient’s needs to achieve optimal results.
