Transform Your Silhouette with Customized Body Contouring Surgery

For those looking to sculpt and refine their figure, body contouring procedures provide an effective solution to remove excess fat, tighten loose skin, and enhance overall shape. Whether you’re looking to address stubborn areas resistant to diet and exercise or improve your body’s contour after significant weight loss, Dr. Rebecca Studinger offers a range of body contouring surgeries tailored to meet your unique needs.

Liposuction

Sculpt Your Body with Liposuction

Liposuction is a highly effective way to remove stubborn fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, and more. Even with a healthy lifestyle, some areas of fat may be difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise alone. Liposuction allows for precise fat removal, improving the contours of your body for a slimmer, more defined look.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals who are close to their ideal weight but have localized areas of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise.
Procedure: A small, thin tube (cannula) is inserted through tiny incisions to break up and suction out fat deposits. Liposuction can be performed on multiple areas of the body during the same session.
Recovery Time: Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, with full recovery and final results visible in 4-6 weeks.
Results: A more sculpted, balanced body contour with long-lasting results, provided a healthy lifestyle is maintained.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Achieve a Flatter, Firmer Abdomen with a Tummy Tuck

An abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening weakened or separated muscles. This procedure is especially beneficial for individuals who have undergone significant weight loss or women who have experienced changes in their abdomen after pregnancy.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals with loose skin, weakened abdominal muscles, or excess fat in the abdomen, particularly after weight loss or pregnancy.
Procedure: Excess skin and fat are removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened to create a flatter, more toned appearance. In some cases, liposuction may be used to enhance results.
Recovery Time: Most patients can return to light activities in 2-3 weeks, with full recovery expected in 6-8 weeks. Swelling may take several weeks to subside.
Results: A firmer, flatter abdomen with improved contour and tighter muscles.

Mini Abdominoplasty (Mini Tummy Tuck)

Achieve a Flatter Tummy with a Mini Abdominoplasty

A mini abdominoplasty, or "mini tummy tuck," is a targeted procedure designed to address excess skin and mild muscle laxity in the lower abdomen. This less invasive alternative to a full abdominoplasty focuses on the area below the belly button, providing a smoother, firmer appearance without extensive scarring or recovery time.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals with excess skin or mild muscle separation in the lower abdomen who are close to their ideal weight and do not require full abdominal contouring.
Procedure: Excess skin in the lower abdomen is removed, and the underlying muscles are tightened as needed. The incision is smaller than in a traditional tummy tuck, resulting in minimal scarring. Liposuction may be incorporated to enhance contouring.
Recovery Time: Most patients return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, with full recovery taking 4-6 weeks. Swelling and tightness are normal during the initial healing process.
Results: A flatter, more toned lower abdomen with improved definition and a shorter recovery period compared to a full tummy tuck.

Thigh Lift

Smooth and Contour Your Thighs with a Thigh Lift

A thigh lift reshapes the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, creating a smoother and more toned appearance. This procedure is particularly helpful for individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight and are left with loose, sagging skin on the thighs. A thigh lift can dramatically improve the look of your legs, enhancing your overall silhouette.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals with loose or sagging skin on the thighs, often following significant weight loss.
Procedure: Excess skin and fat are removed from the inner or outer thighs, and the remaining skin is tightened to create a smoother, more contoured look.
Recovery Time: Most patients can return to light activities in 2-3 weeks, with full recovery in 4-6 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common in the early stages of healing.
Results: Smoother, firmer thighs with a more balanced and proportionate appearance.

Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)

Tone and Tighten Your Arms with a Brachioplasty

For individuals with sagging skin or excess fat in the upper arms, a brachioplasty (or arm lift) can provide a more toned and sculpted appearance. This procedure is especially popular among individuals who have lost significant weight and are left with loose skin in the upper arms. By removing the excess skin and fat, an arm lift helps restore definition and firmness.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals with excess skin or fat in the upper arms, particularly after weight loss.
Procedure: Excess skin is removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened to create a firmer, more toned look. Liposuction may also be used to enhance the contour.
Recovery Time: Most patients can return to light activities in 1-2 weeks, with full recovery in 4-6 weeks. Swelling and some limited mobility are expected in the early stages of recovery.
Results: Smoother, firmer upper arms that are proportionate to the rest of your body.

Fat Grafting

Enhance Volume Naturally with Fat Grafting

Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a versatile procedure that uses your body’s own fat to restore volume and enhance contours. Common areas for fat grafting include the face, hands, breasts, and buttocks. This procedure provides natural-looking results while simultaneously slimming the donor area through liposuction.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals looking to restore volume in specific areas or enhance contours using a natural approach.
Procedure: Fat is harvested from a donor area (such as the abdomen or thighs) using liposuction, purified, and then carefully injected into the target area to achieve the desired shape and fullness.
Recovery Time: Recovery varies depending on the donor and target areas, but most patients resume light activities in 1-2 weeks, with full recovery in 4-6 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common during the initial healing period.
Results: Long-lasting, natural-looking volume enhancement with the added benefit of body contouring in the donor area.

Circumferential Lift

Reshape and Restore with a Circumferential Lift

A circumferential lift addresses loose, sagging skin and tissue around the abdomen, hips, lower back, and buttocks, providing a dramatic improvement in body contour. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have undergone significant weight loss and are looking to achieve a smoother, firmer appearance in multiple areas.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals with excess skin and tissue around the midsection and lower body, particularly after significant weight loss.
Procedure: Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin and tissue are lifted and tightened around the abdomen, hips, and buttocks for a more contoured and proportional appearance.
Recovery Time: Most patients can return to light activities in 2-3 weeks, with full recovery taking 6-8 weeks. Swelling and limited mobility are common during the initial recovery phase.
Results: A smoother, firmer lower body contour with improved proportions and a more sculpted appearance.

Panniculectomy (Excess Skin Removal)

Eliminate Discomfort with a Panniculectomy

A panniculectomy removes excess skin and tissue from the lower abdomen, often following significant weight loss or pregnancy. Unlike a tummy tuck, this procedure focuses on eliminating the overhanging pannus (or “apron”) to improve comfort, mobility, and hygiene, rather than cosmetic contouring.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals with excess abdominal skin causing discomfort, hygiene issues, or mobility challenges, especially after weight loss or pregnancy.
Procedure: The overhanging skin and tissue are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened for a smoother abdominal profile. This procedure can be combined with other body contouring surgeries if desired.
Recovery Time: Most patients resume light activities in 2-3 weeks, with full recovery taking 6-8 weeks. Swelling and limited mobility are expected during the initial recovery period.
Results: Improved comfort, mobility, and abdominal appearance, with relief from issues caused by excess skin.

Body Lift

Restore Contour and Firmness with a Body Lift

A body lift is an effective solution for individuals dealing with loose, sagging skin or excess tissue around the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, typically following significant weight loss. This procedure removes excess skin, tightens underlying tissue, and improves the overall contour, helping you achieve a smoother, more toned appearance across multiple areas of the body.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals with loose skin or excess tissue in the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks, especially after substantial weight loss or pregnancy.
Procedure: Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is lifted and tightened to create a firmer, more toned appearance. Liposuction may also be incorporated to enhance body contouring.
Recovery Time: Most patients can resume light activities within 2-3 weeks, with full recovery taking 6-8 weeks. Swelling and limited mobility are common during the initial recovery period.
Results: A more contoured, firmer body shape with smoother skin and improved proportion, helping to restore confidence and comfort.

Fat Transfer Procedures

Enhance Natural Contours with Fat Transfer

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a versatile procedure that uses your body’s own fat to add volume and improve contour in areas like the face, hands, buttocks, or other areas. This technique provides natural-looking results while also slimming the donor area through liposuction.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals seeking to restore lost volume, improve contour irregularities, or enhance specific areas naturally.
Procedure: Fat is harvested from a donor area (such as the abdomen or thighs) using liposuction, purified, and then carefully injected into the target area to achieve the desired shape and fullness.
Recovery Time: Recovery varies depending on the donor and target areas, but most patients resume light activities in 1-2 weeks, with full recovery in 4-6 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common during the initial healing period.
Results: Long-lasting, natural-looking enhancement with the added benefit of body contouring in the donor area.
