Body Contouring Q&A


What is body contouring?

Body contouring is a range of surgical and nonsurgical procedures designed to reshape and sculpt your body by removing excess fat, skin, or both. 

Age, genetics, hormones, pregnancy, and many other elements contribute to your body’s shape. Body contouring procedures give you the tools you need to create one that makes you feel confident in your skin

The primary goal of body contouring is to enhance the body's appearance by creating a smoother, more toned and balanced silhouette. These procedures can target various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and buttocks. 

Why might I want body contouring?

Body contouring procedures offer many benefits if you’re unhappy with your body shape, including:

  • Removing excess fat that's resistant to diet and exercise
  • Enhancing body proportions and balance
  • Addressing sagging or loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy
  • Boosting self-esteem and body confidence
  • Achieving a more toned and youthful appearance
  • Correcting congenital or age-related body irregularities
  • Improving the fit and look of clothing
  • Complementing a healthy lifestyle and fitness regimen

After a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Elnekaveh can recommend the right body contouring treatments for your needs and goals.

What are my surgical body contouring options?

Dr. Elnekaveh performs several surgical and nonsurgical body contouring treatments, including:

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)

Often called a tummy tuck, abdominoplasty tightens and reshapes the abdominal area, removing excess skin and fat for a flatter and more toned appearance.

Brachioplasty (arm lift)

Consider an arm lift, or brachioplasty, to address sagging skin and excess fat in the upper arms, achieving a firmer and more contoured look.

Brazilian butt lift (BBL)

Dr. Elnekaveh performs a BBL to enhance your buttocks by using your body's own fat to create a fuller and more shapely appearance.

Thigh lift

A thigh lift can improve your leg contour by reducing excess skin and fat, helping you achieve more toned and youthful-looking thighs.

Body lift

A body lift addresses multiple areas of concern, such as the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, for comprehensive body contouring and skin tightening.

Mommy makeover

Mommy makeovers combine multiple procedures to rejuvenate the body after pregnancy. They address issues like sagging breasts, abdominal changes, and excess fat.
