Body Contouring In Baltimore, Maryland

Achieve Your Aesthetic Goals with Body Contouring

Body contouring procedures are customized to fit your goals, from eliminating excess pockets of localized fat to removing sagging, deflated skin.

These techniques define and sharpen the contours of your body while tightening underlying tissue and revealing your most flattering shape.

Types of Body Contouring Procedures

The most popular body contouring surgeries are:

Tummy Tuck—Abdominoplasty removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen, leaving a flatter, firmer tummy area.
Liposuction—This procedure suctions excess fat cells out of the treatment area. It is highly versatile and used on many face and body areas.
Mommy Makeover—This comprehensive approach to rejuvenating your body post-baby allows you and Dr. Tag to develop a custom set of procedures to tone, tighten or enhance your areas of concern.

Anyone can have excess fat and skin after weight loss, so we can adapt body contouring procedures for anybody, regardless of gender.

Those who have been pregnant will sometimes seek out body contouring because of the way pregnancy has changed their bodies. Dr. Tag ensures you know your options when you meet with him for a body contouring consultation.

Candidates for Body Contouring

Some qualities of a body contouring candidate include:

Realistic about what the procedure(s) can and cannot achieve
Non-smoker or willing to quit weeks before surgery
In good overall health (healthy enough to undergo surgery)
At or near an ideal weight that has also been stable for some time

In addition to those factors, Dr. Tag will assess whether the issue you want to address or the physical characteristic you wish to change falls within our practice's capabilities of body contour.

Body Contouring Questions

What is body contouring?

Body contouring is a specific set of plastic surgery procedures that address the body instead of the breasts, face, or skin. They may be surgical or non-surgical and commonly address issues in the following areas:

Abdomen/belly
Back
Upper arms
Inner and outer thighs
Buttocks
Hips
Waist
Calves

Body contouring is a great way to remove excess skin after major weight loss or reduce stubborn fat that lingers despite fitness.

How much does body contouring cost?

How do you perform body contouring procedures?

How much weight will I lose with body contouring?

It depends. The only procedure that makes a significant difference to body weight is a tummy tuck. It's possible to lose 10 pounds or more with a tummy tuck, although it can be much lower. A difference in weight is dictated by the weight of the skin and fat removed.

Most other body contouring procedures will not reduce your overall body weight. Liposuction is not a weight-loss method, for example, but is a means of refining certain body areas holding onto fat.
