Body contouring is the term we used to describe the surgical enhancement of the body shape through the removal of skin excess and the elimination or addition of fat. Body contouring includes a vast number of procedures. Patients interested in getting rid of their “love handles’ ‘ and accentuating their body silhouette may require a liposuction or liposculpture. On the other hand, those interested in enhancing the volume and shape of their buttocks may be candidates for a gluteal augmentation with fat transfer, also known as a brazilian butt lift. Weight loss can lead to loose skin on the abdomen, arms and/or thighs requiring excision and tightening of the skin through a tummy-tuck, arm lift, or thigh lift, respectively. Individuals with persistent abdominal prominence, despite diet and exercise, may be experiencing loosening of the abdominal muscles. This is corrected during a tummy tuck where the muscles are tightened; thus, producing a flatter and more rigid abdomen.

Body contouring surgeries are commonly combined with other rejuvenative procedures, this is referred to as a mommy makeover. A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures typically consisting of a tummy-tuck with liposuction and a cosmetic breast surgery, such as a breast augmentation, breast lift with or without implants, breast reduction. It is important to state that a mommy makeover is not exclusively for bearing mothers and it can consist of other cosmetic procedures.

Las cirugías de contorno corporal se combinan comúnmente con otros procedimientos de rejuvenecimiento, esto se conoce como cambio de imagen de mamá.
