The Art of Refinement, Sculpted to the Highest Standard

The term body contouring refers to any procedure that slims, tones, or otherwise improves the appearance of the midsection. It often includes liposuction, a tummy tuck, and any other technique that rejuvenates and revitalizes a patient's body. As a uniquely compassionate plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, Dr. Fisher never looks upon body contouring as a crutch for patients who are overweight. Instead, he uses it to complement the hard work that a patient has already put in, e.g., diet and exercise. In this way, he facilitates his patients' good health while helping them look their very best.

Knowing When Body Contouring Is the Right Choice

Body contouring is a major cosmetic surgery in Beverly Hills and should only be considered once all nonsurgical methods have failed to get the proper results. Body contouring works best on patients who are healthy, active, and relatively close to their ideal weight. Once this is the case, patients should avail themselves of all necessary information to discover if body contouring is right for them.

Dr. Fisher's Surgical Philosophy

In the interest of delivering the best body contouring Beverly Hills offers, Dr. Fisher has developed a unique surgical philosophy. Rather than accepting any patient for body contouring based on their ability to pay, he goes above and beyond to determine what's truly the best course of action.

After a rigorous consultation process, his surgical plan must be in coordination with his patient's goals, and his confidence to achieve their goals must be absolute. If Dr. Fisher accepts a patient for body contouring, it is because his vast experience tells him he can sincerely produce the desired results.

What to Expect From Your Consultation

Prior to body contouring, Dr. Fisher's consultation is a turning point for any patient's cosmetic journey. After learning about your personal goals, he then reviews your so-called “aesthetic profile,” gathering anatomical information to determine the best course of action. During any body contouring procedure, Dr. Fisher takes your entire body into account, not just your torso. In this way, he tailors your results to be proportionate, flattering, and perfect.

A Personalized Surgical Experience

While independent research is helpful for educational purposes, it will never fully relate body contouring to you. During a consultation with Dr. Fisher in his Beverly Hills office, your plastic surgery education goes beyond general information and becomes a personalized experience. With Dr. Fisher's exceptional aesthetic sense, he is known for his uncompromising assessment of the best options for you.

Body Countoring FAQs

Is body contouring the same as a mommy makeover?

They overlap but are not identical. A mommy makeover is a specific combination of procedures designed to restore the body after pregnancy. Body contouring is a broader term that applies to any surgical plan aimed at reshaping and refining the figure.

Is body contouring performed under general anesthesia?

Yes. Given the scope of most body contouring procedures, general anesthesia is standard. Dr. Fisher works alongside a dedicated anesthesiologist to ensure patient safety and comfort throughout.

How much recovery time should I expect?

Most patients require two to four weeks before returning to desk work or light daily activity. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting typically require a longer pause, often six weeks or more, depending on the procedures performed.

Will body contouring remove stretch marks?

In some cases, stretch marks located on skin that is excised during a tummy tuck may be removed along with it. However, body contouring is not a stretch mark treatment, and results in this area will vary.

How long do body contouring results last?

The structural changes achieved through surgery are long-lasting. Maintaining a stable weight is the single most important factor in preserving those results over time.

Can body contouring address loose skin after major weight loss?

Yes. Significant weight loss often leaves behind excess skin that cannot be resolved through exercise. Surgical body contouring is one of the few effective options for addressing this.

Are the procedures in a body contouring plan always performed at the same time?

Not always. Staging procedures across separate sessions is sometimes the safer and more appropriate approach, particularly for more extensive plans. Dr. Fisher determines the right sequence during the consultation.

What is the difference between body contouring and non-surgical treatments like CoolSculpting?

Non-surgical options can reduce small, isolated pockets of fat but cannot address loose or excess skin. Surgical body contouring offers more comprehensive and definitive reshaping, particularly for patients whose concerns go beyond minor fat reduction.
