Body Sculpting New Orleans, LA
There comes a point where lifestyle changes stop delivering visual results. Biology doesn't always cooperate with discipline; it can't dictate exactly where fat leaves the body or force skin to retract once it’s been stretched.
Body sculpting bridges the gap between your effort and your ideal aesthetic. It provides the architectural changes that the gym simply cannot achieve, offering a solution for the structural issues that hold you back.
Body sculpting refers to a curated range of surgical procedures designed to reshape specific areas of the body. It addresses the concerns that even the strictest regimen can't touch: stubborn fat pockets, loose skin, and muscle laxity.
It’s important to know the difference between this and weight loss surgery. While weight loss focuses on the number on the scale, body sculpting focuses on the silhouette. You should not try and use body sculpting as a means of weight loss.
These treatments are about more than just reduction, they are about balance. By targeting specific parts of the body that aren’t in balance with your other features, we can create a sense of proportion that looks natural.
We find that the best candidates for body contouring in New Orleans are in good general health and have kept a stable weight for at least six months. These treatments and procedures are tools for refinement, not weight loss substitutes. If you have significant weight to lose, we generally recommend reaching your target weight first to ensure your results last. Most of our clients are non-smokers who hold realistic expectations about how surgery can enhance their natural form.
At The Modern Plastic Surgery, we don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach. We offer a full spectrum of advanced techniques to ensure the method matches your specific anatomy.
Liposuction remains the most popular choice for removing stubborn fat deposits that don’t go away despite diet and exercise. But many people don’t fully realize that body contouring is not a weight loss tool; it’s a method for refining the body's contour. We use multiple different techniques to ensure every patient looking for body contouring has an option that fits them perfectly, with precise removal and minimal downtime.
Hi Definition Liposuction is the ideal choice for patients seeking a more athletic look. Unlike standard liposuction which simply debulks an area, this technique involves removing fat precisely around muscle groups to "etch" the anatomy. By artfully sculpting the fat layers, we reveal the natural musculature underneath, creating a sculpted midsection or defined arms.
A tummy tuck addresses the three layers of the midsection: skin, fat, and muscle. Many patients experience a separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that exercise simply cannot correct. A tummy tuck repairs this separation while we remove excess skin. Combining this with liposuction allows for a total contouring of the torso, resulting in a flatter, firmer profile than either procedure could achieve alone.
Massive weight loss is a triumph, but it often leaves behind loose skin and remaining pockets of fat. When skin has been stretched for long periods, it loses elasticity and cannot retract on its own. Plastic surgery completes your transformation by removing this tissue to improve comfort, hygiene, and confidence.
Fat transfer (or fat grafting) utilizes your own tissue to enhance volume in other parts of the body. We harvest fat via liposuction from areas of surplus, such as the thighs or abdomen, and artfully inject it into areas requiring volume, like the buttocks or breasts. This creates natural body contours and soft, lasting results without the need for synthetic implants.
We’ll begin with a private consultation to determine the correction you’ll need. Your surgeon will review your medical history and assess your skin quality and fat distribution. We’ll discuss which treatment area concerns you most (double chin, outer thighs, abdomen, or somewhere else). Together, we will map out the specific treatments that will best align with your body type.
Invasive procedures are performed under anesthesia in an accredited facility, ensuring the highest safety standards. The duration will vary depending on the complexity of your plan. Liposuction treatments may take one to two hours, while a combined tummy tuck and breast lift will take longer.
Recovery timelines depend on the extent of the treatments performed.
Surgical results are visible immediately, but will refine as swelling subsides over several months. Fat cells removed via liposuction are gone permanently. Maintaining a healthy diet is crucial, as your skin can stretch if significant weight is gained again.
Body sculpting costs vary based on many factors, like the specific treatments chosen, the number of areas treated, and operating room fees. We provide a detailed breakdown of all costs associated with your customized plan, so there are no surprises.
Since body contouring is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, insurance typically does not cover treatments or surgeries. We will go over all of your options and offer financing information to help make your body contouring experience as easy and accessible as possible.
The MODERN Plastic Surgery team knows that any elective surgery is a deeply personal decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly. We prioritize safety, transparency, and natural-looking results. We focus on providing effective treatments that respect and enhance the natural anatomy of your body.

Surgical treatments involve discomfort that is carefully managed with medication. Liposuction soreness is often compared to the feeling after a rigorous workout.
Invasive procedures like an arm lift or tummy tuck do leave scars. However, our surgeons are adept at placing incisions in discreet locations hidden by clothing or swimwear.
Fat reduction via surgery is permanent because the cells are physically removed. However, skin laxity continues to evolve with age. Maintaining a stable weight through exercise and diet is the best way to preserve your appearance.
Many patients combine treatments, like liposuction on the abdomen and thighs, to achieve comprehensive body contouring in a single surgery session.
We use advanced technology for our treatments, including VASERlipo for precision fat removal and collagen production stimulation devices for skin tone improvement.
Yes. Body contouring is very common for men, specifically for treating the chest, flanks, and abdomen.
