Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Achieve a flatter, more toned abdominal profile.
A tummy tuck is one of our most transformative procedures, especially for those who've experienced pregnancy or significant weight loss. This surgery addresses not just excess skin but also repairs and tightens the underlying muscles that can separate over time. Patients often share that beyond the visible results, they experience improved core strength and posture. Many tell us they feel a renewed sense of confidence wearing clothing they've avoided for years—from fitted dresses to tucked-in shirts and even swimwear they never thought they'd wear again.

Mini Abdominoplasty
A less invasive alternative to a full tummy tuck, targeting only the lower abdomen with less scarring and a faster recovery time.
Mini abdominoplasty is perfect for patients who have good skin elasticity and muscle tone above the navel, but struggle with a small pooch or excess skin in the lower abdomen. The procedure requires a shorter incision and does not involve repositioning the belly button. Many patients appreciate the quicker recovery time and less extensive scarring compared to a full tummy tuck.

Liposuction
Sculpt and contour various areas of the body.
Liposuction allows us to artfully sculpt areas of the body resistant to diet and exercise. Today's advanced techniques mean more precise contouring with less downtime than ever before. Patients appreciate that this procedure can be tailored to their specific trouble spots—whether it's addressing love handles, refining the jawline, or creating more definition in the arms or thighs. The satisfaction of finally having proportion and balance in areas that have been stubbornly out of harmony with the rest of your body can be truly life-changing.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Reshape and tighten the upper arms.
Arm lift surgery helps patients overcome one of the most common sources of body insecurity—upper arm laxity that doesn't respond to diet or exercise. This procedure removes excess skin and fat, creating slimmer, more toned-looking arms. Our patients frequently tell us how liberating it feels to wear sleeveless tops with confidence or to raise their arms without self-consciousness. Many wish they hadn't waited so long for a procedure that has such a significant impact on their daily comfort and clothing choices.

Thigh Lift
Reshape the thighs by reducing excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned thigh contours.
A thigh lift is designed to tighten and improve the appearance of thighs that have experienced significant skin laxity due to aging or weight loss. The procedure may involve an incision in the groin that extends downward or around the back of the thigh depending on the specific technique used. Patients often report increased comfort during physical activities and newfound confidence wearing shorts, swimwear, and fitted clothing after recovery.

Recovery Timeline
Understanding what to expect during your body contouring recovery helps ensure optimal results.
Initial Recovery
Rest is essential. Compression garments worn continuously. Drainage tubes may be present for tummy tuck. Moderate soreness and swelling expected.
First Follow-up
Post-operative appointment for wound check. Drains removed if output is minimal. Light walking encouraged to promote circulation. Continue compression garments.
Return to Light Activities
Many patients can return to desk work. Driving typically permitted once off pain medication. Swelling continues to decrease progressively.
Increased Mobility
More freedom of movement. Light exercise (walking) encouraged. Continue wearing compression garments. Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity.
Resuming Normal Activities
Full exercise can gradually resume. Results becoming more apparent as swelling resolves. Scars beginning to mature and fade.
Final Results
Complete healing achieved. Final body contour visible. Incisions fully matured. Enjoy your sculpted appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits but does not address loose skin or separated muscles. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin, tightens the abdominal muscles, and creates a flatter, more toned midsection. Many patients benefit from combining both procedures for optimal results. During your consultation, Dr. Rosing will recommend the best approach based on your anatomy and goals.
Good candidates are at or near their ideal weight, in good overall health, and have realistic expectations. Body contouring works best for those with localized fat deposits or loose skin that has not responded to diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss solution. If you are planning significant weight loss or future pregnancies, it may be advisable to postpone these procedures.
Results can be long-lasting when you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While the fat cells removed by liposuction do not return, remaining cells can enlarge with weight gain. Skin will continue to age naturally, but the improvements from surgery are lasting. Most patients enjoy their results for many years with proper maintenance.
Yes, many patients choose to combine procedures for comprehensive results—for example, a "mommy makeover" typically combines a tummy tuck with breast surgery. Combining procedures means one recovery period and can be more cost-effective. Dr. Rosing will discuss safe options for combining procedures based on your health and goals during your consultation.
All surgical procedures result in some scarring. Dr. Rosing places incisions strategically—tummy tuck scars are typically hidden below the bikini line, arm lift scars are positioned along the inner arm, and thigh lift scars are placed in the groin crease. Scars fade significantly over 12-18 months and continue to improve with proper care.
Compression garments are typically worn for 4-6 weeks, sometimes longer depending on the procedure and your healing progress. They help reduce swelling, support healing tissues, and improve your final contour. Dr. Rosing will provide specific guidance based on your procedure and recovery.
