HOW IS BODY CONTOURING PERFORMED?
Body contouring after weight loss is a personalized approach, tailored to your unique needs and goals. During your consultation, Dr. Aycock will assess your areas of concern and discuss the most appropriate procedures.
For a body lift, incisions are made to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks, often with auto-augmentation of the buttocks to improve projection without fat grafting. A tummy tuck involves removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightening abdominal muscles. Arm and thigh lifts address loose skin on the limbs, while breast lifts restore a youthful breast contour. Fat grafting can be used to enhance volume in areas like the buttocks or breasts.
Dr. Aycock prioritizes your safety and comfort throughout the entire process. She will explain the surgical techniques, potential risks, and expected outcomes, ensuring you are well-informed. Post-operative care instructions will be provided to support your healing and recovery.

FAQ ABOUT BODY CONTOURING
Are the Results of a Body Lift Permanent?
While a body lift can provide long-lasting results, the aging process and fluctuations in weight can affect the outcome over time. However, by maintaining a stable weight and adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a balanced diet, patients can prolong the results of their body lift and enjoy their enhanced appearance for years.
How Much Does Body Contouring Cost?
The cost of a body lift varies depending on the individualized nature of the procedure, with a standard surgery under general anesthesia typically starting around $23,000. More extensive or complex cases may incur additional costs. During your comprehensive consultation, Dr. Aycock’s team will provide a precise, detailed breakdown of all fees involved and thoroughly discuss our available financing options to help make your desired outcome attainable.
What Is Recovery Like After Body Contouring?
The recovery process after a body lift varies from patient to patient but generally involves discomfort, swelling, and bruising, particularly in the first few weeks. Patients are advised to take prescribed pain medication, wear compression garments, and avoid strenuous activities during the initial recovery period. Complete recovery may take several weeks to months, depending on individual healing and the extent of the procedure.
Will Pregnancy Ruin My Body Lift Results?
While pregnancy is possible after a body lift or other body contouring procedures, it’s generally recommended to complete your family planning before undergoing surgery. Pregnancy can stretch the skin and abdominal muscles, potentially altering the results of your procedure. 1 While not dangerous, this can lead to a return of excess skin or changes in your body shape. 2 If you do become pregnant after a body lift, Dr. Aycock can discuss options for revision surgery after you’ve delivered and returned to a stable weight.
