Even with a healthy lifestyle, many people struggle with areas of the body that do not respond to diet and exercise. Pregnancy, aging, and significant weight loss can lead to loose skin, stubborn fat, or changes in body contour that make it difficult to achieve the shape you want. Body procedures can help refine these areas and restore smoother, more balanced proportions.
At Cordray Plastic Surgery in Charleston, SC, Dr. Tracy Cordray offers a range of body contouring procedures designed to sculpt and enhance your natural shape. With advanced training in plastic and reconstructive surgery and a patient-focused approach, Dr. Cordray works closely with each patient to create personalized treatment plans that deliver natural-looking results.
What Are Body Procedures?
Body procedures are cosmetic surgeries designed to improve the shape, tone, and contour of the body. These procedures may remove excess skin, reduce stubborn fat, or tighten tissues to create a more balanced and sculpted appearance.
Many patients pursue body procedures to address concerns such as:
-
Loose or sagging skin after weight loss
-
Stubborn fat that does not respond to exercise
-
Changes to the body following pregnancy
-
Aging-related loss of skin elasticity
-
Body proportions that feel out of balance
Depending on your goals, Dr. Cordray may recommend a single procedure or a combination of treatments to achieve optimal results.
Body Procedure Options
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened abdominal muscles. This procedure helps create a flatter, firmer midsection and is especially popular for patients after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
A tummy tuck can dramatically improve abdominal contour and restore a smoother waistline.
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from targeted areas of the body. It is commonly used on the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, and back to refine body shape.
This procedure is ideal for patients who are close to their ideal weight but want to address localized fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.
An upper arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a smoother and more toned appearance.
This procedure is particularly helpful for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or skin laxity due to aging.
A thigh lift removes loose skin and reshapes the thighs for a smoother, firmer contour. The procedure is commonly performed on the inner thighs, where sagging skin can develop after weight loss or aging.
Thigh lift surgery can improve both appearance and comfort, especially when excess skin causes chafing or irritation.
A buttock lift removes excess skin and tightens the surrounding tissue to improve the shape and position of the buttocks. This procedure is often recommended for patients who have experienced significant weight loss and want to restore a firmer lower body contour.
A buttock lift can improve overall body proportions and create a smoother transition between the lower back, hips, and thighs.
Body contouring after major weight loss involves a combination of procedures designed to remove excess skin and reshape the body following significant weight reduction.
Common areas treated include the abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks. These procedures help many patients complete their weight loss journey by restoring smoother, more balanced body contours.
