What Are Body Contouring Procedures?
Body contouring refers to a range of surgical techniques designed to reshape and sculpt the body. These procedures target excess fat, sagging skin, and weakened muscles to create a more toned and proportionate appearance. Body contouring surgeries aim to enhance a person’s confidence after major weight loss, pregnancy, or the natural aging process.
Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most popular body contouring procedures. Dr. Galiano uses a small cannula to suction out stubborn fat from areas such as your abdomen, thighs, back, arms, and neck. He also carefully molds the remaining fat in each area to enhance your body’s natural shape and achieve smooth, symmetrical results.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, removes loose skin and tightens weakened abdominal muscles. It’s an excellent choice for patients who struggle with a protruding or sagging midsection, often after pregnancy or significant weight changes. Dr. Galiano creates a flatter, firmer abdomen and pays close attention to scar placement for the most aesthetic outcome.
Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover combines multiple procedures to help restore your body after childbirth. Most commonly, it includes a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast enhancement (augmentation and/or lift). Dr. Galiano customizes each mommy makeover to reflect the your unique anatomy and goals, aiming for natural-looking, rejuvenating results.
Body Lift
A body lift is often ideal for patients who have lost a large amount of weight and are left with sagging skin around the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks. Dr. Galiano removes the excess skin and recontours the lower body to improve comfort, clothing fit, and appearance. This comprehensive procedure can make a dramatic difference in a patient’s quality of life.
Thigh Lift
If you are concerned with loose, dimpled, or sagging skin on your thighs, a thigh lift can offer a more sculpted, toned look. Dr. Galiano tightens the tissue and removes excess skin for better leg definition, often combining the procedure with liposuction to enhance results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Body Contouring?
Candidates should be in good health, at or near their ideal weight, and have realistic expectations. These procedures are not intended for weight loss but for shaping the body after weight fluctuations or aging. A consultation with Dr. Galiano will determine the best approach for each individual.
