A fit and well-proportioned body is often considered a symbol of vitality and health. However, despite a reasonably good level of health and fitness, some people may still have disproportionate body contours due to localized fat deposits. These problem areas may be due to genetic heredity or familial traits rather than lack of weight control or fitness. Still others may have excess skin after weight loss or pregnancy.
If you would like to improve the shape of your body, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Wagner at Wagner and Associates can help. Dr. Wagner offers advanced body contouring procedures in Indianapolis, so patients can feel confident and comfortable in their bodies.
Surgical Body Contouring Options
Dr. Wagner offers a range of surgical body contouring procedures that remove localized fatty deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise and eliminate excess skin to improve your proportions and, ultimately, enhance your self-image:
- Liposuction – Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes stubborn pockets of fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or arms, to create slimmer, shapelier contours.
- Tummy tuck – Also known as abdominoplasty, this procedure tightens abdominal muscles and removes excess skin and fat to create a firmer, flatter stomach.
- Mommy makeover – A mommy makeover involves a customized combination of procedures, often a tummy tuck, breast enhancement surgery, and liposuction, to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body shape.
- Surgery after weight loss – Patients who have undergone massive weight loss, such as after bariatric surgery, can often benefit from a series of procedures to remove excess skin, improving contour and comfort after achieving their target weight.
- Labiaplasty – Labiaplasty is a specific form of vulvoplasty that enhances the shape of the labial tissues.

What Concerns Can Body Contouring Surgery Treat?
Body contouring surgery can address a variety of concerns, including:
- Excess body fat – Stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise can be permanently eliminated from areas like the thighs, abdomen, arms, or back with liposuction.
- Loose skin – Excess skin caused by pregnancy, aging, or significant weight loss can be removed via body contouring surgery.
- Weakened abdominal muscles – Separation or weakening of abdominal muscles after pregnancy can cause a protruding belly, which can be resolved with tummy tuck surgery.
- Skin irritation and chafing – Discomfort caused by folds of excess skin, particularly after significant weight loss, can be addressed with body contouring surgery.
