Body contouring may include liposuction, Lipo 360, a tummy tuck, lower body lift, skin-tightening procedures or a Mommy Makeover. The right plan depends on where you have stubborn fat, loose skin, muscle separation or changes after pregnancy or aging.
Liposuction removes localized fat and refines contours, but it does not remove a significant amount of loose skin or repair separated abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and can repair diastasis recti. Some patients benefit from combining both techniques.
Yes. When skin laxity is more than liposuction or skin contraction can address, a tummy tuck, extended tummy tuck or body lift can remove excess tissue and reshape the area. Dr. Bucio evaluates skin quality, scar placement and the amount of correction needed during consultation.
Body contouring is designed to reshape the body rather than serve as a weight-loss procedure. Patients are generally best evaluated near a healthy, stable weight they can maintain. Your health history, BMI, weight changes and goals are reviewed before surgery is recommended.
Procedures such as a tummy tuck, liposuction, BBL or breast surgery can sometimes be coordinated in one plan. The number and extent of procedures depend on your health, anatomy, expected operating time and recovery needs. Safety determines the final surgical plan.
Recovery varies with the areas treated and whether skin removal, muscle repair or combined procedures are involved. Swelling, bruising and limited activity are expected early on. Your individualized plan may include compression, assisted walking and follow-up visits before travel and normal activity resume.
