What Is Body Contouring?

Body contouring is about reshaping the body in a way that looks natural, balanced, and true to you. At Southwest Breast & Aesthetics, it often includes procedures like tummy tucks, liposuction, fat grafting, and skin removal surgery. We also offer tailored treatments like mommy makeovers, arm lifts (brachioplasty), and medial thigh lifts, each one carefully planned to match your goals and your body’s natural shape.

Every plan is personal. Some people are looking to tighten loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy. Others want to fine-tune areas that just don’t respond to diet or exercise. Our goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident in your body again, with results that look polished but never overdone.

What Aesthetic Issues Can Be Addressed With Body Contouring?

Body contouring is a great option if you’re dealing with things like:

  • Loose or Stretched Skin – Common after pregnancy or major weight loss, especially in the belly, arms, or thighs.
  • Stubborn Fat – Areas like the flanks, hips, or upper arms that don’t seem to budge, no matter how healthy you are.
  • Sagging or Loss of Firmness – Especially in the midsection or upper body, as skin loses elasticity with age.
  • Post-Baby Body Changes – Things like separated ab muscles, skin laxity, or breast changes can all be addressed together.
  • Uneven Shape – When certain areas feel out of proportion or throw off your silhouette.

Body Contouring Procedures

Tummy Tuck

Restore a flat, toned abdomen by removing excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles. This body contouring procedure is ideal for those with loose skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Key Benefits:

• Potential reduction of stretch marks

Tummy Tuck

Liposuction

Target and remove stubborn fat cells from various body areas, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, and arms.

This versatile procedure can be used alone or in combination with other surgeries for comprehensive body sculpting.

Key Benefits:

• Precise excess fat reduction for improved body contours

• Ability to treat multiple areas in one session

Benefits of Body Contouring

Body contouring can do more than change how you look—it can change how you feel in your body. When things fit better and move better, everyday life just feels easier.

Here are a few benefits that patients often notice:

  • Better balance and shape from head to toe
  • Clothes fit more comfortably (and shopping gets more fun)
  • Less skin irritation or chafing from the folds of skin
  • Easier movement and more comfort during workouts
  • A confidence boost that shows up in every part of life

When we combine procedures, say a tummy tuck with an arm lift, we can often shorten recovery time, too. One recovery, multiple results.

Am I A Candidate For Body Contouring?

You might be a good fit for body contouring if:

  • You’ve hit a stable weight and aren’t planning on major weight changes soon
  • You’re generally healthy and don’t have conditions that could slow healing
  • You don’t smoke (or are willing to stop for a while before and after surgery)
  • You have specific areas you want to improve and realistic goals

If you're unsure, that’s okay—this is what consultations are for. We'll talk through your history, your goals, and any concerns you have. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. Some things that may delay or limit surgery include chronic illnesses, poor circulation, or unmanaged health issues. We’ll walk you through everything so you feel confident moving forward.

Body Contouring Results

You’ll see some changes right away, especially with procedures like liposuction or skin removal, but swelling takes time to go down. Most people see their full results within about three to six months.

And the results can last for years. As long as your weight stays steady, your shape should stay pretty consistent, too. That’s why it’s important to go into surgery with long-term habits in place.

Body Contouring Recovery

Recovery looks a little different depending on what you have done. In general, here’s what to expect:

  • Most people are up and walking around within a day or two
  • You’ll need about two to three weeks away from demanding work or workouts
  • Swelling and soreness can stick around for a few weeks, but you’ll start feeling more like yourself each day
  • Compression garments or drains might be part of the plan—it all depends on your surgery

We’ll go over everything before your procedure so you feel totally prepared. Our team checks in with you regularly and keeps your recovery comfortable and smooth.

Body Contouring FAQ

You’ll start to see results in a few weeks, with the full look settling in around the 3- to 6-month mark.

Yes, combining procedures is common and often more efficient. We’ll talk through what makes the most sense for your body and goals.

Keeping a stable weight and following a healthy routine is key. Big changes in weight can affect your results over time.

Significant changes, up or down, can stretch the skin or shift the shape, which may lead to the need for additional treatment.

Revisions are usually done to smooth out uneven areas, address leftover skin, or fine-tune results after healing.
