Exploring Body Contouring Before and After Photos

Our team of exceptionally trained plastic surgeons are experts in body contouring surgery. From tummy tucks to liposuction to male breast reduction, numerous procedures help patients get curves where they want them and sleek, smooth contours where they don’t.

Below, we break down some of our top body contouring before and after photos so you can see the types of results you can expect.

Tummy Tuck Before and After Photos

An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, sculpts the midsection by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the abdominal muscles. It is frequently paired with liposuction for additional contouring.

In this first example, we see a patient 3 years after her surgery with Dr. Laurence Z. Rosenberg. The woman was in her mid-50s when she contacted Dr. Rosenberg about undergoing a tummy tuck. She had lost 40 pounds through diet and exercise and was ready to put the finishing touches on her weight loss transformation.

You can see just how well-defined her waist is after surgery and how her “belly pooch” has been eliminated. Many of our patients, like the one shown here, are often so inspired by their results that they commit themselves to maintaining them through a healthy lifestyle.

Performed by Dr. Ben J. Kirbo, this tummy tuck addressed post-pregnancy changes. Our patient was a 38-year-old woman who was unhappy with the loose skin on her abdomen and the belly bulge caused by separated abdominal muscles (a condition called diastasis recti).

Dr. Kirbo restored the patient’s shapelier figure and corrected the diastasis recti. You can see her flatter abdomen and tauter skin in her after photos.

As mentioned earlier, combining a tummy tuck with liposuction can yield additional body contouring benefits. In this example, Dr. Kirbo helped a 44-year-old patient achieve her desired look by sculpting her back with liposuction and addressing excess skin and fat on her midsection.

You can see the dramatic difference this made for our patient! Not only is her waistline slimmer, but her overall figure is well-defined from all angles.

Some patients choose to have an extended tummy tuck when skin laxity and fat deposits affect their hips as well. Dr. Rosenberg helped this 60-year-old patient regain a flatter and firmer abdomen, shapelier hips, and a notably slimmer physique.

Liposuction Before and After Photos

Liposuction provides “spot treatments” for areas of diet and exercise-resistant fat in a minimally invasive procedure. Our plastic surgeons offer high-definition VASER liposuction, which uses ultrasonic vibrations to liquefy the fat before removal.

In this case, our patient wanted a smoother, flatter abdomen without committing to the downtime needed for a tummy tuck. Based on her skin elasticity and cosmetic goals, Dr. Kirbo determined she was a good candidate for liposuction.

While plastic surgery patients are often female, more and more men are embracing the subtle tweaks and more dramatic improvements they can achieve with cosmetic procedures. Dr. Kirbo’s patient here is an athletic young man whose healthy lifestyle still wasn’t enough to banish stubborn fat around his midsection.

With the help of liposuction, our patient was able to smooth away his love handles and attain a more chiseled look that highlighted his muscles.

Dr. Rosenberg created better neck definition by improving the angle between the patient’s chin and neck. Our patient has also enhanced her jawline by eliminating submental (under the chin) fullness.

Male Breast Reduction Before and After Photos

Male breast reduction surgery uses liposuction or surgical excision to remove overdeveloped breast tissue and excess skin caused by gynecomastia.

Many gynecomastia patients, like this young man here, developed breasts during puberty. Our patient had been self-conscious about his chest appearance for years and struggled with going to the beach or being shirtless. Dr. Rosenberg performed male breast reduction surgery with liposuction and skin excision to restore a more masculine contour to the patient’s chest.
