If you’re like many others who decide to lose weight in the coming years, you’re facing a big challenge. Losing weight can be extremely rewarding, not to mention a healthy choice for your body. If you have significant weight to lose, however, it’s important to understand that body contouring surgery will play an integral role in helping you put the finishing touches on your new body. Here’s what to know about some of the most prominent body contouring procedures and how Drs. Ali and Tamir can help here at Mosharrafa Plastic Surgery.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is an essential part of body contouring. Most people who lose weight are left with hanging skin on the stomach, often because it’s a primary area where people carry fat. The tummy tuck can remove sagging skin and improve confidence, clothing fit, and hygiene. At the same time, it tightens the underlying abdominal muscles, which become stretched and ineffective with weight gain. This procedure can completely rejuvenate the stomach for a leaner, slimmer look.
Belt Lipectomy
A belt lipectomy, sometimes called a lower body lift, is a more encompassing addition to the tummy tuck. It removes an “apron” of stretched skin around the lower torso, contouring the hips, love handles, buttocks, and thighs. It’s a comprehensive solution for excessive loose skin around the lower body. It can be performed along with the tummy tuck for even better results.
Thigh Lift and Arm Lift
The thigh lift and arm lift are effective ways to eliminate excess skin on the upper arms and legs. Through a variety of incisions, they can slim and contour the arms and legs, especially if you previously carried weight there. A thigh lift and arm lift can improve the fit of your clothing and your confidence in certain outfits, making them a great addition to a body contouring package.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a must-have for any post-weight-loss patient. Despite our best efforts, it’s normal to be left with stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction can break up and remove these pockets of fat, enhancing contours in areas like the stomach, hips, bra area, and more. Drs. Ali and Tamir even offer VASER liposuction, an advanced technology that can sculpt around muscles, enhancing their appearance.
How to Choose the Right Body Contouring Procedures
Fortunately, body contouring procedures can often be performed together in a comprehensive package. However, only so many procedures can be performed safely in the same session. When you meet with Dr. Ali or Dr. Tamir, you’ll have a lengthy discussion about your goals and the procedures most appropriate for helping you arrive there.

Back to Overview
A breast cancer diagnosis is overwhelming in so many ways. There are a lot of emotions. Dr. Ali Mosharrafa and his entire staff put me at ease at every step. After surgery, I was very self conscious, and the way I was treated with each visit helped me as much as the excellent medical care. Whether it is for an elective procedure or a surgery due to illness, I cannot endorse Dr. Ali more as a physician and human.
