A family of techniques designed to reshape the body by removing excess skin or fat. Sculpt the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, and more, in an approach tailored to your anatomy and goals.
There are many plastic surgery techniques designed to reshape the body contours through the removal of excess skin or fat. These procedures can dramatically enhance your silhouette by focusing on problem areas that are not as sculpted as you would like. Body contouring techniques are particularly popular among the Fort Lauderdale and Broward County area patients of board-certified plastic surgeon Nathan Eberle, M.D., D.D.S., of Weston Center for Plastic Surgery, who are seeking to counteract the physical effects of aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy.
Surgery time, anesthesia, recovery, and the details that make the experience easier.
Body contouring is a series of different procedures to help you achieve the sculpted and toned body you desire. It is often used to remove fatty deposits lodged in areas of the body that have been resistant to diet and exercise. There are several different procedures used in body contouring, depending on the area of the body being treated and the amount of fat that needs to be removed.
Body contouring is a dream come true for many patients who have struggled to obtain their ideal weight and muscle tone through diet and exercise. These procedures correct problematic fatty deposits or areas of excess skin from problem areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, upper arms, back, and the pubic or genital region. For many patients, body contouring restores a more youthful appearance and boosts confidence and self-esteem.
Each surgery is designed to enhance a specific portion of the body you might consider to be a problem area. Arm lifts and thigh lifts focus on reshaping these areas by removing excess skin and fat. Body lifts, mini tummy tucks, and tummy tucks focus on the abdominal area. Labiaplasty and the mommy makeover are designed for women, and liposuction can sculpt nearly any body area.
If you are looking for a way to shape your body, making a problem area appear smoother and more toned, body-sculpting surgery may be right for you. Common focus areas include the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms. Many candidates have lost a significant amount of weight or have been pregnant, which can have undesirable effects on the body. Body contouring may also be performed to counteract loose skin from aging. Adults who are in good general health can undergo most body contouring procedures.
Body contouring surgeries usually require general anesthesia and may take anywhere from two to eight hours. Generally, techniques focusing on the abdominal area tend to be more involved than those reshaping other body areas. Some procedures, such as liposuction, are considered minimally invasive, while others, such as a mommy makeover, are considered major surgery. Before your surgery, be sure to discuss the specifics so you understand how involved it is.
Recovery varies greatly depending on the procedure chosen, the extent of surgical reshaping required to meet your goals, and other factors. After liposuction, patients can generally return to work within a few days. Other body sculpting procedures require a lengthier recovery, typically one to two weeks away from work. The most involved techniques, such as abdominoplasty and mommy makeovers, can require three to four weeks of recovery. During this time, expect tenderness, soreness, swelling, and bruising.
The cost of body sculpting surgeries varies significantly depending on the specific procedure you choose and your surgical goals. Procedures focusing on a small area are less expensive than those requiring reshaping of a larger portion of the body. Financing is offered.
