Our Body Contouring Procedures
Whether you want your clothes to fit better, to look great in a swimsuit, or to show off your hard-earned gym body, Dr. Schuster and his team can help you achieve your aesthetic goals. We proudly offer the following body contouring procedures to women and men in the Baltimore area:
- Liposuction: If you have stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, liposuction can help you achieve a more proportional and attractive body contour.
- Tummy Tuck: If you have excess fat and deflated skin around your midsection, a tummy tuck can tighten the muscles of your abdominal region and remove excess skin, providing a trimmer, toned appearance.
- Body Contouring After Weight Loss: If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight, whether through bariatric surgery or other methods, but struggle with sagging, loose skin, Dr. Schuster can help to improve the appearance of your body.
- CoolSculpting: A popular non-invasive alternative to liposuction, CoolSculpting is designed to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat by “freezing” them away.
The right body contouring procedure for you will depend on various factors, such as your age, skin tone, body type, and specific goals. Dr. Schuster will consider all of these factors and discuss your options to help you determine the procedure that best meets your needs, budget, and lifestyle.
Surgical vs. Non-Surgical Body Contouring: What’s Right for You?
When it comes to body contouring, both the surgical and non-surgical options have unique benefits. These benefits may help you decide which route to take.
Surgical body contouring includes procedures like tummy tucks, liposuction, and body lifts after weight loss. These treatments are ideal for creating dramatic changes, particularly for those with significant amounts of loose skin or larger pockets of fat.
Surgical options typically involve anesthesia and a recovery period. However, they immediately correct the cosmetic concern.
Non-surgical body contouring methods, such as CoolSculpting, offer a less invasive alternative. These treatments are best for patients who are relatively close to their ideal weight but want to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to traditional weight-loss methods.
Non-surgical fat reduction techniques usually have minimal downtime and do not carry the same risks as surgery. They might require multiple sessions to achieve the desired outcome. Additionally, the results may not be as dramatic as surgery.
Is Body Contouring a Weight Loss Solution?
It's important to note that body contouring is not a weight loss treatment. Instead, it’s designed to sculpt and refine your figure after you have reached or are near your target weight. Body contouring can remove excess fat and skin, enhancing your body shape and providing a more toned appearance. It isn’t a substitute for traditional weight loss methods like diet and exercise.
Ideal candidates for body contouring are those looking for cosmetic improvements and are already maintaining a stable weight.
Which Body Contouring Procedures Can Be Combined?
You may be able to combine several procedures at once. The right surgical plan will depend on your individual situation. Dr. Schuster will be happy to discuss your options with you.
Some of the possible combinations include:
- Liposuction and Tummy Tuck: Often combined as "lipoabdominoplasty" to remove fat and tighten abdominal skin for more dramatic improvements.
- Body Lift and Liposuction: A body lift typically involves lifting and tightening the skin around the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. Liposuction can complement this by removing stubborn fat deposits, leading to smoother contours.
- Mommy Makeover: This is a custom combination of procedures designed to address the physical changes that can follow pregnancy and breastfeeding. It often includes a tummy tuck, breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction.
As a non-invasive option, CoolSculpting is generally not performed alongside surgical procedures. However, it can be used after surgical recovery to enhance outcomes.
