Body Contouring Procedures Overview

Sometimes, even the most rigorous diet and exercise routines can’t get rid of stubborn, excess fat and skin folds that can accumulate in a variety of body areas. Dr. Mark Bishara is focused on helping patients recontour their bodies and enhance areas that may have proven resistant to traditional methods of losing weight. We can give you a tighter physique with a more toned appearance and enhance areas including the stomach, thighs, arms, buttocks and breasts.

If you are considering plastic surgery options to recontour your body, you can be assured that procedures offered are performed in a safe environment.  Our goal is to provide you with safe, effective treatment that results in cosmetic enhancement that looks natural, without the appearance of having undergone plastic surgery.
Please contact our office to schedule a consultation for body contouring surgery.  The following guide will explain some of the options available, that may help you with your specific body contouring needs. For more information on surgical and non-surgical cosmetic enhancement or reconstruction treatments, please contact our practice.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck Surgery)

Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery, can eliminate excess fat and skin in the midsection for a more firm, fit-looking stomach. A tummy tuck tightens the underlying abdominal muscles and re-drapes the skin with results you may not have been able to achieve with traditional diet and exercise.

Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic enhancement procedures available. With safe, effective liposuction techniques such as Vaser LipoSelection® here at LIPSG, excess fat deposits can be eliminated in virtually any area of the body.

Mastopexy (Breast Lift Surgery)

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is performed to restore youthful shape and lift to breasts that have sagged as a result of weight loss, pregnancy, or simply the effects of aging and gravity. This procedure can also reduce the size of the areola and can be combined with breast reduction or augmentation to adjust the size and firmness of the breasts.

Post Bariatric Surgery

For patients who have had bariatric weight loss surgery, Dr. Mark Bishara offers a number of procedures designed to help you take this new and exciting phase of your life to the next step. Surgical options such as body lift, arm lift, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and liposuction can help you get rid of excess, loose skin and fat for tighter skin and a more toned appearance.

Body Contouring Surgery- After Weight Loss- by Dr. Mark Bishara, MD

Surgery After Significant Weight Loss

About forty-five million Americans diet each year and Americans spend approximately one to $2 billion a year on weight loss programs. It is believed that consumers spend about $30 billion per year trying to lose weight or prevent weight gain, and 55% of Americans are actively trying to maintain or lose weight. In the last five years weight loss surgery has experienced a tremendous resurgence. Over fifty thousand patients in the United States will undergo some form of gastric bypass surgery during the year, and the positive effects of this surgery are immeasurable. The health benefits of massive weight loss are numerous and profound.
However, after a patient experiences massive weight loss, the body skin is not able to retract to the smaller size of the body underneath. This results in large pendulous hanging breasts, significant excess underarm skin (sometimes known as bat wings), and significant lower abdominal skin and laxity that causes rashes, impairs the ability to wear normal clothes and sometimes even daily activity. In the face, this excess skin often leads to significant signs of aging when the skin is no longer able to retrace following massive weight loss.
Body Contouring is a safe and effective group of procedures that can help a patient drastically improve their appearance!  Dr. Mark Bishara and The Paragon Plastic Surgery & Med Spa offer body contouring surgery designed specifically for patients who have achieved significant weight loss. Procedures that remove skin or fat, tighten and lift can be used as a complement to help your clothes fit better and allow you to participate more comfortably in your favorite activities.

Body Contouring – Are You a Candidate?

The best candidates for body contouring are people who have undergone massive weight loss and are dissatisfied with the appearance of their body, are in general good health, and have realistic expectations of what the procedure can accomplish.

Body Contouring – Plastic Surgery Procedures & Risks

Body contouring is a group of complimentary cosmetic procedures that can reshape your entire figure into a shape of your own choosing. Often times when a person is dissatisfied with their shape one or more procedures can alleviate their discomfort and provide them with the aesthetically pleasing figure they desire. Body contouring is also a safe and effective way to combat the unsightly sagging skin that often accompanies massive weight loss.
In order to reshape the body, Dr. Bishara will generally focus on a few common areas that many people often find less than attractive as the years go by. For example:

  • Sagging or drooping breasts can often be overcome through a breast reduction and breast lift.
  • If the skin on your arms is not as toned as the muscle underneath, an armlift or “brachioplasty” can correct unsightly droopage.
  • Sometimes over the years the stomach can take on a rounded or flabby shape, and no manner of sit-ups will help, so many people elect for an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck.
  • Despite the best exercise and diet regimens many people suffer a loss of tone in their buttocks. Fortunately a buttock lift can restore the tone and shape lost over the years.
  • As people age, the skin on their upper thighs begins to droop out of proportion with the rest of their skin tone, so a thigh lift can often correct this unsightly mishap of genetics.
  • Finally, in order to achieve an all around sense of proportion, many people elect to remove stubborn fat deposits through liposuction. This procedure restores the characteristic figure and curves many of us lose over the years.

Body Contouring by Dr. Mark Bishara, MD in Mansfield & Southlake

The obesity epidemic across the United States and the rest of the world has led to many programs centered on lowering Body Mass Index (BMI) for the well-being of the individual. However, significant amounts of weight loss cannot ignore the physics of the real world. Bariatric (weight loss) surgery has caused many individuals to meet their BMI goals and develop healthier lives, but it has also created the need for much of the body contouring necessary from weight loss.  At Dr. Mark Bishara’s office we provide a wide range of cosmetic procedures to help patients look and feel their best.
Following a well-balanced diet to maintain a healthy weight, and exercising consistently to maintain or attain a fit and healthy body are important contributing factors when it comes to an individual’s body image. However, heredity, changes in the body over time such as weight gain or loss, pregnancy, and even aging can result in a change in your body’s proportions and curves that may affect both your body image and self-confidence. Reshaping disproportionate curves or reducing unwanted fat cannot always be achieved through weight loss and exercise alone. Fitness and skin care have little effect on uneven contours or bulges as well as skin that lacks elasticity.
Body contouring surgery can help many people reshape body features that cannot be improved by other measures. Body contouring can dramatically improve the shape and proportion of your body, enhancing your appearance and boosting your self-confidence. The aim of body contouring is to excise the skin for both cosmetic and functional purposes. Daily activity can be bothersome due to frequent chafing between the functional skin and excess skin.
One or more procedures may be recommended to achieve your goals for a more youthful, contoured body. Body contouring goals may be achieved in one surgical session or may be more safely performed in stages depending on your overall health, the type and extent of procedures being considered along with the outcome from discussions and recommendations by your plastic surgeon during the consultation process. Improvements to your body’s shape and overall image may be achieved by reducing excess fat and/or sagging skin and tissue. Dr. Bishara will discuss these and other treatment options with you during your consultation to determine which procedures are right for you.

Arm lift surgery grows in popularity- from Dr. Mark Bishara, MD

Arm lifts, also knows as brachioplasty, have recently become one of the most popular varieties of plastic surgery, according to a report out from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
There were more than 15,000 arm lifts performed in 2012, up from only 300 in the year 2000. This is a 4,000% increase, making it the fastest growing type of plastic surgery.
The popularity of the arm lift procedure is due to more people losing excessive amounts of weight.  People who lose 100 pounds or more are left with extra skin that working out alone cannot get rid of.  These people often opt for arm lift surgery as a result from the extra skin.
Arm lifts help reduce excessive skin and fat between the underarm and elbow.  An arm lift will also help reshape your arm, which results in a more smoother and toned appearance.
