What Is It?

Body contouring is a set of surgical procedures designed to remove excess skin and sculpt areas of the body that have changed after weight loss, aging, or pregnancy. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, and buttocks.

Dr. Matthew Isakson works with you to determine which procedures will be most beneficial. He takes time to explain every option, making sure you understand what each surgery involves and how it can help you achieve your goals.

Because every body and every journey are different, Dr. Isakson will also help you prioritize the areas that bother you most. While some patients can safely combine several procedures in one surgery, others may benefit from staging their treatment to ensure the safest and most effective outcome.

Why You Might Choose This Procedure

  • Remove loose or sagging skin after weight loss

Body Contouring FAQs

  • How Do I Know if The Procedure Is Right for Me?

    Body contouring is often a good choice if you have loose skin or areas of your body that no longer match your weight loss progress. If clothing fits awkwardly, skin folds cause discomfort, or you feel like your shape does not reflect your hard work, a consultation with Dr. Isakson can help you decide whether surgery is the right next step.

  • Can I Combine Multiple Procedures?

    Yes. Many patients choose to combine procedures, especially after major weight loss. This can include areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and back. Whether you can safely combine procedures depends on your health, the extent of correction needed, and the total surgery time. Dr. Isakson will help you decide the safest and most efficient plan.

  • What Is Recovery Like?

    Recovery varies based on how many areas are treated. Most patients experience swelling, tiredness, and limited movement at first. Dr. Isakson provides clear aftercare instructions, follow-up visits, and ongoing support so you know what to expect. As swelling eases and scars improve, your new contours become more visible.

  • Will There Be Scars After Body Contouring?

    Scars are a natural part of any procedure involving skin removal. Dr. Isakson places incisions strategically to keep them as discreet as possible. Scars soften and fade with time, and most patients feel the improved shape and comfort far outweigh the presence of scars.

  • How Long Do Results Last?

    Results can be maintained for many years as long as your weight stays stable. While the body continues to age naturally, the excess skin removed during surgery will not return. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help preserve your new shape for years.

  • Is This Procedure Only for People Who Have Lost a Lot of Weight?

    Not at all. Many patients consider body contouring after pregnancy, aging, or smaller weight fluctuations that create loose skin or uneven contours. If you are bothered by specific areas and want a smoother, more balanced shape, body contouring can be a great option.
