Body Procedures also called "Body contouring" or "Body Sculpting" are terms that apply to a number of surgery options that can reshape and improve nearly any part of the body. Body sculpting or contouring procedures can help improve definition and create a more proportionate body for individuals who are anxious about loose skin, excess fat, or other concerns.
Liposuction. (Lipoplasty or Suction Lipectomy)
Liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, but the procedure can eliminate areas of fat that are unresponsive to typical weight-loss methods.
This procedure removes localized collections of fatty tissue to give you a smoother and slimmer body contour. For the best results, you should be of relatively normal weight with extra fat localized in specific areas such as the hips, buttocks and abdomen. Lipoplasty is also effective in removing fat deposits from the back, legs, arms, face and neck. Liposuction can help patients achieve dramatic results all over the body. The procedure normally lasts one to two hours and you can expect to return to work within one or two weeks.
Lower Body Lift is a body procedure that generally targets a person's thighs and lower abdomen to improve the appearance of the lower body with little scarring. After extreme weight loss or pregnancy, many people are left with excess skin that can be embarrassing and unattractive. During the lower body lift procedure, a plastic surgeon trims away excess skin to reveal a more toned, attractive figure.
The thighs are a problem area for many men and women because they are so difficult to tone. During the thigh lift procedure, the surgeon removes excess skin and tissue from the upper and inner thighs to produce a thinner, more attractive leg. This body procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. Depending on the area of the thigh to be lifted, an incision is made around the thigh in the buttock crease and near the groin, to minimize appearance of scarring.
is designed to give you a smoother, flatter abdomen. The procedure removes excess abdominal skin and may also reduce fat and tighten the muscles of your abdominal wall. It frequently is performed to correct the muscles weakness and loose skin that can occur following multiple pregnancies or significant weight loss. Older individuals, whose skin has lost some of its elasticity and are slightly obese, can experience an improvement in their abdominal area. This body procedure generally takes between two and five hours. You may be instructed to wear a support garment for several weeks. You will need to avoid strenuous activity for a while but should be able to return to work within several weeks.
Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) is performed on those individuals with excess hanging skin on the upper arm area. This is due to aging and dramatic weight loss. If you have drooping skin on your upper arms, consider having an arm lift performed. This body procedure can also be combined with liposuction for optimal results.
A Buttock Lift is a body procedure designed to tighten the skin of the buttock area. The procedure can be performed alone or in combination with other operations, such as a thigh lift and abdominoplasty. The combination of these three operations is often called a body lift. Like the face, the remainder of the body suffers the consequences of time, gravity and in some cases significant weight loss. While some areas are affected more than others, skin wrinkling and loss of tone occur throughout the body. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. An incision is made on the lower back from waist to waist. Fat and excess skin are removed giving a more contoured, tightened look.
