Body Sculpting

Body sculpting is a specialized collection of procedures that can remove excess skin, tissue, and fat from various regions around the body.

Over time, events such as pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations, aging, and significant weight loss can greatly affect how you appear. While these changes are natural, they can leave you feeling less than confident about your appearance. With body sculpting, you can address each of these concerns with ease and restore the definition to your natural curves and contours.

About Body Sculpting

Body sculpting consists of several different procedures that Dr. Gorin may perform to remove excess skin, fat, and tissue from around the body. Each of these procedures is highly customizable, and Dr. Gorin can perform them as standalone procedures or in combination with others for more transformative results.

Available Procedures

After Weight Loss Body Sculpting

After weight loss body sculpting is a collection of procedures that Dr. Gorin can perform to help you remove excess sagging skin or stubborn fat that lingers after significant weight loss.

These procedures each address different regions of the body, such as the breasts, tummy, and waist, and can help you achieve the figure you have worked so hard to attain.

Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a procedure that uses fat from your own body to elevate the appearance of your buttocks. Dr. Gorin will use liposuction techniques to take fat from other areas of the body where excess fat accumulates. He will then purify the fat before reinjecting it into your buttocks to refine their size, shape, symmetry, and volume.

CoolSculpting®

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical treatment that can restore a more flattering figure by freezing your excess fat cells. This FDA-approved treatment uses cryolipolysis technology to cool fat cells, damaging them. Your body then naturally metabolizes the damaged fat cells, leaving the areas more toned and contoured.

Power-Assisted Liposuction

Power-assisted liposuction is a procedure that uses a vibrating cannula to remove fat around the body. ⁽¹⁾ Dr. Gorin can perform this procedure to emulsify and aspirate stubborn, diet-resistant deposits of fat from most areas of the body, leaving them more slender and smooth.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a procedure that can restore a flatter, more toned stomach by removing excess skin from the abdomen and tightening the abdominal muscles. Tummy tucks can effectively address the lasting, physical concerns of both weight loss and pregnancy, which often include loose or sagging skin, weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), or accumulated fat. ⁽²⁾

Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover is a highly customized treatment that combines the techniques of several procedures to restore the appearance of a pre-pregnancy figure. Mommy makeovers typically consist of a combination of breast-enhancing and body-contouring procedures to address the areas most impacted by pregnancy, such as the breasts and abdomen. At Gorin Plastic Surgery & Medspa, Dr. Gorin can combine breast lifts, breast augmentations, liposuction, and tummy tucks to help you restore the natural curves and contours of your figure.

Preparation

Once you have scheduled your body contouring procedure, you will need to make certain preparations to ensure you are ready. Dr. Gorin will provide a full set of pre-operative instructions during your consultation to help you, which may include:

Procedure

On the day of your procedure, a member of our team will lead you to a private surgical suite, where you will meet with Dr. Gorin and his surgical staff. They will reconfirm your treatment plan with you before cleansing your skin. You will then receive general anesthesia to keep you comfortable.

Dr. Gorin will then proceed to perform each of your desired corrections. While these exact steps will vary depending on the procedure, you can expect him to remove excess skin, reduce fat accumulations, and tighten any weakened or loose muscles in the treatment area. After achieving your desired appearance, he will carefully close each incision before allowing you to rest under the care of his team.

Recovery

After your body sculpting procedure, you will need to take time away from your career and other commitments to allow your body time to heal. You may return to desk work and light activities after approximately 1–3 weeks, but you will need to avoid physically demanding activities until Dr. Gorin clears you to return.

Throughout recovery, you may experience some swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated areas. These effects will gradually dissipate on their own, but you may also address them using a cold compress, medications, and plenty of rest. He may also direct you to wear a compression garment, a specialized garment that can minimize swelling and support your new contours as you heal.

Dr. Gorin will provide you with a full set of post-operative instructions to help you navigate your recovery. By following each instruction, you will be able to return to your routine more quickly and comfortably.

Results

While you may notice initial improvements after your appointment, you will be able to enjoy the full results of your body sculpting procedure once you recover. Your results will vary depending on your personalized treatment plan, but you can generally expect smoother, more defined curves and a more proportionate figure.

Body sculpting yields long-lasting results that you can enjoy for years to come. However, you must maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, as fluctuations can affect your long-term appearance.
