What Is Body Contouring?

Body contouring refers to a range of surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to reshape and refine specific areas of the body. These treatments help remove excess fat, tighten loose skin, and improve overall body proportions, giving patients a more sculpted and balanced appearance. Body contouring is often sought after weight loss, pregnancy, or as part of a personal aesthetic goal to address areas that haven’t responded to diet and exercise.

Common body contouring procedures include:

Liposuction
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Thigh Lift
Body Lift
Non-surgical fat reduction or skin tightening treatments

Every procedure is tailored to the individual, ensuring results that enhance your natural shape while maintaining harmony with the rest of your body.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Body Contouring?

Ideal candidates for body contouring are individuals who are close to their target weight but have areas of stubborn fat, loose skin, or uneven body contours that haven’t responded to diet and exercise. These procedures are designed to enhance your natural shape, not as a substitute for weight loss, so patients with a stable weight typically see the best results.

Other factors that make someone a good candidate include:

Good overall health with no medical conditions that could impair healing

Non-smokers (or willing to stop smoking before and after surgery)

A commitment to maintaining results through a healthy lifestyle

During your consultation, we’ll assess your goals, health history, and body composition to recommend the most effective treatment plan for you.

A Natural Next Step After Weight Loss Medications

Patients who have lost a substantial amount of weight, especially with the help of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, are often ideal candidates for body contouring. These treatments are highly effective for weight loss, but they can leave behind loose or sagging skin that does not respond to diet or exercise. Body contouring can complete your transformation by removing excess skin and refining your shape, which often improves both comfort and confidence. Because this type of weight loss is medically supervised, insurance coverage may be more likely in qualifying cases.

What to Expect: Procedure + Recovery

Your body contouring journey begins with a personalized consultation, where we’ll discuss your goals, evaluate your anatomy, and recommend the most

appropriate procedures for your needs. On the day of your procedure, you’ll be cared for in a fully accredited surgical facility with your safety and comfort as our top priorities. Depending on the treatments selected, procedures may be performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia. Surgical body contouring often involves small, strategically placed incisions, and techniques designed to minimize scarring.

Recovery time varies depending on the extent and type of procedure performed. For surgical treatments like liposuction or a tummy tuck, most patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and soreness for the first few days, with a gradual return to normal activities over the following weeks. Non-surgical body contouring treatments typically require little to no downtime, with patients returning to daily life almost immediately. We’ll provide detailed post-operative care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and results. Most patients begin seeing noticeable improvements within weeks, with final results becoming more visible as swelling subsides.

Insurance Coverage May Be Available

In many cases, body contouring procedures, particularly after significant weight loss, may qualify as reconstructive surgery and be partially or fully covered by insurance. If you are experiencing issues such as excess skin that causes irritation, rashes, or interferes with daily activities, your procedure may meet medical necessity criteria. We can help provide the documentation, photos, and pre-authorization forms needed to support your insurance claim.

Frequently Asked Questions About Body Contouring

How long do body contouring results last?
Results from body contouring procedures are long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight. While fat cells removed through procedures like liposuction won’t return, future weight gain can affect your results. Skin tightening and body lifts also provide lasting improvements, though natural aging may gradually impact skin elasticity over time.

Can I combine multiple body contouring procedures?
Yes. Many patients choose to combine procedures, such as liposuction with a tummy tuck or an arm lift with a thigh lift, for more comprehensive results. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the safest and most effective way to achieve your goals, which may involve staging treatments over time.

What’s the difference between surgical and non-surgical body contouring?
Surgical body contouring procedures physically remove excess fat and skin, offering more dramatic and immediate results. Non-surgical options use technologies like radiofrequency, ultrasound, or cryolipolysis (fat freezing) to target fat cells and stimulate skin tightening with minimal or no downtime. The best option depends on your goals, anatomy, and recovery preferences.

How soon will I see results?
While some results, especially from non-surgical treatments, may appear within a few weeks, final outcomes from surgical body contouring typically become visible after several months, once swelling fully subsides and the body has healed. We’ll provide a detailed timeline based on your specific procedure.

Is body contouring painful?
Most patients describe the discomfort as manageable. Surgical procedures typically involve some soreness, swelling, and tightness during the first few days post-op, which we help control with prescribed pain medication and post-surgical care instructions. Non-surgical treatments usually involve little to no discomfort and minimal downtime.
