Body Contouring Surgery Options
Body sculpting with cosmetic surgery can smooth, slim, lift, tighten and tuck nearly any body area to correct cosmetic concerns shared by both men and women, such as:
- Contour irregularities
- Loose, excess skin
- Skin laxity
- Stubborn fat deposits
Many surgical procedures for the body address a combination of cosmetic concerns or are performed in combination with other procedures to treat multiple problems. Fat reduction with liposuction, for example, may be performed in conjunction with procedures designed to address excess skin, such as tummy tuck or arm lift surgery. Similarly, body contouring after major weight loss by definition involves two or more skin tightening procedures, such as body lift and thigh lift.
There are also body shaping surgeries that are gender-specific, including mommy makeover, labiaplasty and male breast reduction. Mommy makeover focuses restoring a woman’s pre-pregnancy figure by combining tummy tuck, liposuction and breast procedures, and labiaplasty is designed to reduce excess labia tissue to achieve vaginal rejuvenation.
Men, on the other hand, who have enlarged male breasts may seek male breast reduction surgery that, although similar to breast reduction for women, is designed specifically to meet the needs of male patients.
