Choosing the Best Body Contouring Procedures for You

Deciding upon body contouring procedures is a uniquely individual decision. No one can determine the areas of the body that make you feel self-conscious or frustrated except you. However, body contouring procedures can address problem areas and help improve your confidence.

At Gables Plastic Surgery, we welcome all bodies. Dr. Jorge de la Pedraja can help sculpt your figure with the best body contouring procedures in Miami.

Body Contouring Procedures

You’re working hard to achieve the lean, sculpted figure. Combining body contouring procedures in Miami with your current healthy diet and exercise routine might be the answer to enhancing your body’s appearance. While body contouring procedures aren’t weight loss procedures, they provide the perfect complement to your healthy lifestyle in addressing problem areas.

Tummy Tuck

Everyone wants a flatter stomach. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, aims to restore sleeker, more toned contours to the abdomen by removing excess skin and tightening abdominal muscles. Depending upon your needs, there are different types of tummy tucks:

  • Full tummy tuck addresses the upper and lower abdomen
  • Mini tummy tuck targets the lower abdomen
  • Extended tummy tuck allows for removal of more excess skin and fat

Liposuction

Excess fat can negatively affect your health and body image. Liposuction is a versatile body contouring treatment that permanently removes undesirable fatty tissue deposits and sculpts a leaner appearance. Treatment areas may include:

  • Arms
  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Thighs
  • Buttocks
  • Hips

Mommy Makeover

One of the most memorable events in a woman’s life, pregnancy, causes changes that can negatively impact appearance and confidence. Mommy makeovers are a combination of body contouring procedures that rejuvenate the body following childbirth and breastfeeding. Typically, these procedures may include one or more of the following:

Arm Lift

Weight gain or loss, aging, or even genetic issues can cause upper arm skin to stretch and droop. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a body-contouring procedure that addresses extra skin, tissue, and fat to reshape the upper arms. The results are smoother, slender-looking upper arms with improved muscle tone.

Thigh Lift

Typically, weight loss and exercise can do little to target fat pockets or sagging skin in the thigh region. A thigh lift typically is accompanied by liposuction to better smooth and contour this problematic area.

Are You a Candidate for Body Contouring in Miami?

Prime candidates for many body contouring procedures include men and women who are in good health but might be bothered by the appearance of their bodies. Typically, suitable candidates are those who are:

  • Living a healthy lifestyle
  • Non-smokers
  • Finished with childbearing
  • Have realistic expectations
  • Understand the surgical risks
