With Body Contouring Pittsburgh patients can reshape their figure and address a variety of concerns:
Body contouring is not a single procedure. It is a personalized surgical plan built around the areas that need the most improvement. For some patients, that means removing stubborn fat with liposuction. For others, it means combining liposuction with skin removal and tissue tightening to address the loose, deflated look that can happen after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. At Pitt Aesthetic Surgery, your surgeon will evaluate your anatomy, skin quality, areas of excess fat, and degree of skin laxity to recommend the perfect combination of surgical or non-surgical techniques to achieve your dream physique.
This minimally invasive technique removes excess fat for a sculpted look. It can be performed alone or combined with other procedures for a customized approach.
Ideal for addressing loose skin and stubborn fat in the abdomen, especially after weight loss or pregnancy. Tightens muscles and creates a smoother, more toned midsection.
Restores a youthful silhouette by lifting and reshaping sagging breasts due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.
Eliminates excess skin and tightens the thighs for a more sculpted and contoured appearance. Improves comfort during physical activities and allows you to wear a wider variety of clothing.
Enhances your figure and boosts confidence with natural-looking buttock contouring using liposuction and fat grafting.
Sagging arms can be a telltale sign of aging or weight loss. Brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery, removes excess skin and tightens underlying tissues to create a more sculpted, toned upper arm. Ideal candidates have significant sagging skin and minimal fat deposits. Liposuction may be combined with an arm lift for a more comprehensive result. With smoother, firmer upper arms, you can enjoy increased confidence and a wider range of clothing options.
This innovative procedure was pioneered by Dr. Rubin for lifting very ptotic breasts in patients who have lost a significant amount of weight. Because the skin has lost much of its elasticity, a special shaping and suspension technique is used to rebuild the breast into a beautiful shape and to suspend it in place to maximize the longevity of your result.
Recovery after body contouring depends on the procedures included in your treatment plan. A patient having liposuction alone will usually recover faster than someone combining liposuction with a tummy tuck, thigh lift, arm lift, or breast procedure. Most patients should expect swelling, bruising, soreness, and tightness early on, with improvement over time. Compression garments, gentle movement, and close follow-up all play an important role in healing well and protecting your results.
Body Contouring results are typically visible within weeks, with continued improvement over several months as swelling subsides. You'll enjoy a more sculpted, toned physique with improved proportions and smoother skin. Results can be long-lasting with a healthy lifestyle that maintains a stable weight and regular exercise. Choose a plastic surgeon who is a specialist in these types of procedures and has proven expertise in the field.
The cost of body contouring depends on the details of your surgical plan. Because body contouring is often customized, pricing reflects the areas being treated, the techniques involved, and whether your procedure includes liposuction alone or a combination of skin removal and tightening procedures.
Your total cost may be influenced by:
The best way to get accurate pricing is through a personal consultation. During that visit, your surgeon can evaluate your goals, examine the areas you want to improve, and recommend a treatment plan built around your anatomy.
Liposuction is a specific technique used in body contouring to remove excess fat deposits. However, body contouring is a broader term encompassing various procedures like liposuction, tummy tucks, and skin tightening procedures. Liposuction addresses fat, while body contouring reshapes your entire body by addressing fat and loose skin.
Body contouring can be a good option if you're at or near your goal weight but struggle with stubborn fat pockets or loose skin. It's not a weight loss solution and won't treat obesity. During a consultation, a board-certified plastic surgeon can assess your goals and recommend the most suitable procedures to achieve your desired body shape.
That depends on the procedures included in your treatment plan. Liposuction uses very small incisions, while procedures that remove loose skin, such as a tummy tuck or arm lift, will leave longer scars. Your surgeon will place incisions as carefully as possible and review scar expectations before surgery.
Yes. Body contouring is often a strong option for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and are left with loose skin or areas that still feel out of proportion. These procedures can help refine your shape once your weight is stable.
Body contouring works best when you are at or near a stable, healthy weight. These procedures are meant to reshape the body, not serve as a weight loss treatment. If your weight is still changing, your surgeon may recommend waiting so your results are more predictable.
Yes. Many patients combine body contouring procedures to improve more than one area at the same time. Depending on your goals, your surgeon may recommend a staged plan or a combination approach that can be performed safely in one surgery.
