Stubborn fat that lingers despite a healthy lifestyle is a common frustration for many people. Whether it stems from genetic predisposition, the effects of aging, or changes after pregnancy, these problem areas can make it challenging to achieve a balanced, streamlined figure.
Body contouring offers a safe, effective way to reshape and refine your silhouette by targeting localized fat that diet and exercise alone can’t address. At Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida in Hollywood, FL, we personalize each body contouring procedure to reflect your individual proportions and aesthetic goals. Whether you’re looking for subtle definition or a more dramatic transformation, our experienced team applies advanced techniques to create smooth, natural-looking results with meticulous care.
Body contouring is a term that encompasses a number of plastic surgery procedures. These procedures are performed to improve the appearance of patients who have lost significant amounts of weight due to diet and exercise, childbearing or bariatric surgery. Most of the procedures aim to either tighten loose skin or remove excess skin and fat.
Body contouring is a process of plastic surgery done after weight loss often combined with other procedures like breast and face lifts to achieve a more proportioned look.
Liposuction for body contouring can be performed on almost any area of the body. Common areas include:
Body contouring is not restricted to liposuction. It can involve incisional procedures that cut away excess skin. Abdominoplasty, or a tummy tuck, tightens the abdominal wall and can reduce sagging skin after weight loss. Thigh, arm and gluteal lifts can be performed with tissue from one’s own body. The newly popular Brazilian butt lift, for instance, uses your own fat to give the buttocks a fuller shape.
Body Contouring Surgery at Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida
Body Contouring is more than a cosmetic procedure, it’s a customized approach to body refinement that empowers patients to look and feel their best. At Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida, Dr. Barnavon, MD, and Dr. Reisler, MD, approach liposuction with a sculptor’s eye and a surgeon’s precision, carefully removing stubborn fat to enhance your body’s natural contours.
With decades of experience and advanced international training, our board-certified plastic surgeons are leaders in modern body contouring techniques. They stay current with evolving technologies and clinical best practices to ensure safe, effective, and natural-looking outcomes. Their philosophy centers on proportion, symmetry, and long-term results, helping patients achieve a slimmer, more defined shape without compromising individuality. Whether addressing one area or performing a more comprehensive reshaping, the goal is always the same: results that restore confidence and feel entirely your own.
Usually no more than three to five liters of fat is taken during a single liposuction procedure, but it depends on your body type and overall health. We focus on contouring the area safely and effectively.
Liposuction removes fat, but it does not tighten loose skin. If your skin has good elasticity, it may retract nicely on its own after the fat is removed. If it doesn’t, sagging or wrinkling could occur after liposuction, and we may recommend combining liposuction with another surgery. We’ll evaluate your skin tone in person to help determine the best approach for you.
Fat cells that are removed don’t grow back, but your remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight. We always encourage patients to maintain a stable weight through diet and regular activity. If your weight stays consistent, you can expect long-lasting contouring results.
While liposuction can smooth out certain contours, it doesn’t specifically target cellulite. Cellulite is caused by fibrous bands pulling down on the skin, not just fat under the surface. In some cases, removing fat can sometimes make cellulite more noticeable. If cellulite is a concern, we’ll go over likely outcomes and options.
We typically ask patients to wear their compression garments for around six weeks. It should be worn 24 hours a day except when showering. We’ll give you specific instructions based on the areas treated.
Most patients only need one procedure to get the results they’re looking for. If we’re treating multiple areas or if you’re working toward a larger transformation, we may stage treatments over more time. We will talk about the safest and most efficient way to approach your goals.
You’ll start to notice changes within the first few weeks, but swelling takes time to fully resolve. Most of the improvement becomes visible around the two or three-month mark, with final results continuing to refine over the next several months. The treated areas will gradually become more defined as your body heals and inflammation fades. We’ll follow up with you to make sure everything is progressing as expected.
