What is body contouring?

Body contouring includes surgical and nonsurgical procedures that improve the contours and shape of your body. 

Diet and exercise aren’t always enough to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat from your abdomen or thighs. Body contouring removes the unwanted fat, helping you achieve your aesthetic goals. 

Dr. Umerah is a fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and belongs to the International Society of Cosmetogynecology, training under Dr. Marco Pelosi II. People from all over come to the Women's Health Institute for body contouring with Dr. Umerah. 

The team does more than remove unwanted fat, they create plans that transform the body.

Whatever your goals or needs, the team at Women's Health Institute can help you achieve it.

What are the types of body contouring?

The Women's Health Institute team uses many tools and techniques for body contouring, customizing plans to match personal body aesthetic needs and goals. 

The types of body contouring available include:

Fat transfer

The Women's Health Institute team performs a fat transfer, moving fat from one area of your body to another in order to enhance your body’s contours.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes unwanted fat from under the skin from almost any area of the body (abdomen, thighs, buttocks, etc). The highly skilled team at the Women's Health Institute uses PAL® (power-assisted liposuction system) by MicroAire®.

The advanced liposuction system extracts with precision from small and large areas and allows the team to harvest the fat for a fat transfer.

BodyTite™

BodyTite by InMode™ is a minimally invasive body contouring tool that uses radiofrequency energy to break up fat, making it easier to remove through smaller incisions. The tool also tightens the skin, improving the final results. 

Tummy tuck

A tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure that improves the shape of the midsection, removing excess skin and tightening muscles to create a flatter and toned tummy. The team may also perform liposuction during a tummy tuck if needed.

Am I a candidate for body contouring?

Body contouring improves body shape, but it isn’t a weight-loss procedure. However, if you wish to improve your body’s contours and enhance your appearance, body contouring might be suitable for your cosmetic needs. 

To see if you’re a candidate for body contouring, schedule a consultation at Women's Health Institute by calling or booking an appointment online today.
