Pregnancy, weight loss, aging, and other genetic factors can cause the body to undergo significant physical change. These physical changes can result in unattractive bulging in the hips and thighs, as well as the appearance of loose or sagging skin near the abdomen and lower body. When exercise and diet fail to remedy these problems, body contouring offers a solution.

Liposuction is designed to improve body contour by selectively targeting stubborn pockets of fat near the hips, stomach, breasts, buttocks, thighs, neck, and other areas of the face and body. Once those fatty deposits are removed, the body immediately takes on a smoother, more proportionate shape. Liposuction procedures are now safer than ever, and patients can expect minimal discomfort following surgery.
Tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a popular body contouring procedure used to eliminate excess skin and tissue from the lower abdomen. Patients should consider a tummy tuck if they are concerned by the appearance of loose, sagging skin near the stomach. The procedure is not appropriate for weight loss purposes; rather, tummy tuck surgery is intended for patients who have experienced significant stretching of their abdominal skin and muscles as a result of weight loss, pregnancy, and other factors.
If extreme weight loss or aging has caused the skin near your thighs to droop and sag, a surgical thigh lift can help create a more attractive body shape. Thigh lift surgery is designed to permanently remove folds of loose skin near the inner and outer thighs and tighten remaining skin for a smoother, more uniform shape. Where excess fat near the thighs is also an issue, liposuction can be combined with a thigh lift to further shape the legs.
When skin near the buttocks becomes loose, dimpled, or stretched, a buttock lift can be used to tighten the skin, smooth surface irregularities, and completely reshape the buttocks. Buttock lifts are commonly performed on patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and been left with overhanging, excess skin. If there are pockets of fat beneath your buttocks or unattractive bulges where the buttocks meet the thigh, you may be a candidate for a buttock lift or combination thigh/buttock lift.
When several lifts are performed concurrently, the procedure is commonly referred to as a “full body lift.” For patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery, a full body lift can help eliminate the folds of skin that detract from an otherwise slimmer frame. If you have achieved your weight loss goal but your new body is hidden beneath layers of excess skin, a full body lift can give you the firm, smooth shape you desire.
