What to Expect

Your experience is designed to be thoughtful, personalized and centered on your comfort.

1. Consultation & Planning

Dr. Schmitt takes time to understand your goals and assess the areas you wish to refine. Together, you will create a customized plan that may include liposuction, skin tightening or other contouring techniques to enhance your natural shape.

2. Procedure

Body contouring may involve removing stubborn fat, tightening loose skin or reshaping specific areas such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, arms or back. Each technique is selected to create smooth transitions and balanced proportions throughout your figure.

3. Recovery

Recovery varies depending on the procedures performed. Mild swelling, bruising or tightness are common in the early stages. Most patients return to light activities within several days to a week, with continued improvement as healing progresses.

4. Results

As swelling subsides, your contours become more defined and sculpted. The final result is a smoother, more balanced silhouette that enhances your natural proportions and supports your confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which areas can be treated with body contouring?

Common areas include the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms, back and under the chin. Your treatment plan is tailored to the areas most important to you.

Is body contouring a weight‑loss procedure?

No. Body contouring is designed to refine shape, not replace weight loss. It works best for individuals who are near their ideal weight but want targeted improvement.

How long do results last?

Results are long-lasting, especially with stable weight and healthy habits. While aging continues, most patients enjoy their refined contours for many years.

Will there be visible scars?

Incisions are typically small and placed discreetly. With time and proper care, scars fade and become less noticeable.

Can body contouring be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients combine body contouring with tummy tuck, breast surgery or a Mommy Makeover for more comprehensive enhancement.
