Smooth, Firm, and Defined
Body contouring encompasses a range of aesthetic plastic surgery techniques designed to eliminate excess fat, remove excess skin, and tighten the underlying tissue.
Persistent sagging skin and localized fat can be disheartening, especially when they resist your healthiest efforts. Factors like a significant amount of weight loss, pregnancy, or natural aging often contribute to these concerns. At the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa in New Orleans, board-certified plastic surgeons offer these procedures to help you achieve a smoother, firmer profile and a meticulously contoured shape.
Strength and Sophistication
By tightening underlying muscles and removing loose skin, body contouring reveals a more toned body, enhancing both your appearance and physical comfort. Patients frequently comment on how their new shape improves how clothing fits and restores their self-esteem. Many view this surgery as the turning point in their fitness journey.
When a combination of surgical techniques is utilized (such as liposuction with a breast lift), we can create seamless, natural-looking results that address multiple areas at once.
Unapologetic Confidence
A good candidate for body contouring is typically someone who has reached a stable, healthy weight but struggles with:
Whether you’ve experienced changes due to weight fluctuations, having children, or simply growing older, these procedures can help restore a more youthful body shape.
Precise and Personalized
At the MODERN, we tailor every treatment to your unique anatomy.
Liposuction is the standard to remove fat from targeted areas like the abdomen, hips, thighs, and neck. This procedure permanently extracts fat cells to reduce fat and refine your shape.
A tummy tuck repairs weakened abdominal muscles and removes loose skin from the abdomen, creating a flatter, tighter core.
A highly personalized combination of surgeries, typically involving a tummy tuck, liposuction, and a breast lift or augmentation, designed specifically to restore a woman's pre-pregnancy body.
A breast lift elevates and reshapes sagging breasts by removing extra skin and tightening the surrounding tissue for a perkier profile.
These surgical procedures remove excess skin from the upper arms and inner or outer thighs, reducing chafing and creating a smoother limb contour.
We can treat volume loss by harvesting your own fat via liposuction and strategically injecting it into the breasts or buttocks to enhance your natural curves.
Your Partners for Every Step
You'll begin with an initial consultation with one of our doctors in New Orleans. Our plastic surgeons take the time to understand your body goals, answer your questions, and explain the best surgical options for your lifestyle. We'll perform a physical evaluation to determine how to best minimize scars and maximize your aesthetic plastic surgery outcome.
From the first conversation, our team works to ensure you feel informed and cared for, clearly outlining the risk of complications and the steps we take to mitigate them, such as preventing infection.
Masterpiece In The Making
Major body contouring procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia, while a smaller treatment session takes less time and may only require local anesthesia. The exact incisions depend on the surgery. For example, a tummy tuck requires a horizontal incision across the lower abdomen, while liposuction utilizes tiny, discreet incisions. Our goal is always to safely destroy fat cells and tighten the remaining skin while keeping visible scars to an absolute minimum.
Binge-Watch And Bounce Back
Your recovery time will depend on the extent of the surgery performed. You may experience some pain and soreness initially. Post-surgery, patients are advised to wear compression garments to support healing and reduce swelling. Most individuals can resume light activities within a few weeks. Following our post-operative guidelines carefully is the best way to avoid complications and ensure a smooth healing process.
Our care continues long after you leave the office. Your recovery experience includes:
Double Takes Are Guaranteed
You’ll see noticeable results soon after surgery, with final contours emerging over several months as swelling completely recedes. Because we physically remove fat, the lost volume in those treated areas is permanent. But maintaining your refined body requires a healthy lifestyle, since weight fluctuations can alter your results.
The Price Of Looking Fabulous
Because "body contouring" is an umbrella term that can mean anything from a single area of liposuction to a comprehensive mommy makeover, there is no ballpark price tag. The cost of your surgery varies significantly based on your unique anatomy and the specific goals we are trying to achieve.
Your total investment will depend on several factors:
We'll let you know during your consultation exactly how much your body contouring treatment will be.
