Body Contouring Before And After Gallery
WHAT IS BODY CONTOURING?
Body contouring is a group of plastic surgery procedures that reshape the body by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the tissue underneath. It’s most often done after major weight loss, pregnancy or age-related changes, when diet and exercise can’t correct loose skin. At Constantine Plastic Surgery in Dallas, Dr. Fadi Constantine performs tummy tucks, thigh lifts, arm lifts, lower body lifts and liposuction, often combined into a single plan.
The aim is to remove excess skin and fat while also improving the shape of the support tissue. These procedures are often performed together, as in a mommy makeover, to improve the overall figure and form. You can see real patient results in the body before and after gallery.
DR CONSTANTINE’S PHILOSOPHY
ON BODY CONTOURING
Because body contouring covers a wide range of procedures, I always put a lot of emphasis on patient assessment. By fully assessing each patient and noting the elasticity of the skin, the amount of excess skin to be removed and the area of the body where the surgery is required – I’m able to decide on the best technique to use in order to get the most satisfactory results
NECKLIFT
A necklift is used to treat any excess skin that’s underneath the chin. The skin is tightened around the neck to produce a better jawline and improve the overall appearance of the face.
TUMMY TUCK
A tummy tuck removes the excess fat and skin from around the abdominal area to create a much smoother and firmer stomach.
THIGH LIFT
A thigh lift provides better contours around the thigh by removing any excess skin and fat.
ARM LIFT
Removes any hanging skin from the underarm and reshapes the skin from the armpit to the elbow to provide a better appearance.
LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction removes stubborn fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back and thighs. It works best when the skin still has good elasticity, and it’s often combined with a skin-tightening procedure.
BODY CONTOURING FAQ
Who is a good candidate for body contouring?
Generally, people who are at or near a stable weight, in good overall health and bothered by loose skin or stubborn fat that hasn’t responded to diet and exercise. Patients who’ve had weight loss surgery are usually advised to wait until their weight has stabilized. A consultation with Dr. Constantine is the best way to find out what’s right for you.
Can several body contouring procedures be done at the same time?
Often, yes. Combining procedures, such as a tummy tuck with liposuction, can mean one surgery and one recovery instead of several. Dr. Constantine decides whether combining is safe based on your health and the total length of surgery. Learn more about combining cosmetic procedures.
Is liposuction the same as body contouring?
Liposuction is one type of body contouring. It removes fat but doesn’t remove loose skin, so patients with significant skin laxity usually need a skin-removal procedure such as a tummy tuck or body lift.
Does body contouring leave scars?
Procedures that remove skin do leave scars. Dr. Constantine plans incisions so they sit where underwear or swimwear usually covers them, and scars generally soften and fade over time.
