Body Contouring
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Orlando, FL
Body contouring is any procedure that removes excess fat and droopy skin for a leaner, sculpted figure. Aging, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations result in pockets of excess fat that stretch the skin and affect body proportions. As you age and your metabolism changes, reducing exercise-resistant fat with lifestyle changes can be difficult. If you have “love handles” or excess abdominal skin that affects your confidence, Dr. Azad can transform your appearance with body contouring.
At Azad Plastic Surgery, we have helped many patients enhance their bodies with customizable treatments and an artistic approach. Dr. Kamran Azad prioritizes each patient and designs a personalized plan based on each individual’s goals and aesthetic preferences.

Before and After Photos
About Body Contouring
With age, collagen and elastin–proteins that help your skin maintain its youthful appearance–begin to decline naturally. As a result, the skin can begin to sag. Stubborn pockets of fat can also develop as your metabolism and hormone levels change. With body contouring procedures, Dr. Azad can remove excess tissue to reshape your abdomen, hips, thighs, breasts, and buttocks.
After Weight Loss Body Contouring
Loose, hanging skin is especially common after weight loss. Medically assisted weight loss has made weight loss increasingly accessible for patients who suffer from one or more weight related conditions. Weight loss medications accelerate the metabolism to help patients lose 15-20% of their initial body weight. (1) However, many patients are unprepared for the amount of excess skin they will experience afterward. (2) If you recently experienced massive weight loss, we can discuss treatments designed to remove a significant amount of skin and rebalance your body proportions.
Types of Body Contouring Treatments
Breast Lift
A breast lift (mastopexy) lifts and repositions the breasts by removing sagging skin for a smoother, firmer appearance. Sagging breasts after weight loss, colloquially known as “Ozempic breast,” can make it difficult to feel confident. Dr. Azad can lift the breast mound with an incision along the edge of the areola or breast fold during a breast lift. He can also reposition the nipple for a more youthful appearance. If you would like to increase the size of your breasts, we can combine the procedure with breast augmentation.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin from the midsection for a smoother, more athletic abdomen. With the procedure, Dr. Azad can balance body proportions and improve muscle definition for a sculpted appearance. He can also tighten the underlying muscles if they are loose–a condition known as diastasis recti–for improved core strength. (3) With a thin incision along your underwear line that is easy to conceal, he can tighten the skin and transform your abdomen for a smoother figure.
Lower Body Lift
A lower body lift removes sagging skin from multiple areas of the body for a smoother, more youthful-looking figure. Dr. Azad can remove skin from the abdomen, buttocks, groin, and outer thighs. If you have recently experienced weight fluctuations or have noticed skin laxity from aging, this customizable procedure can help you address multiple areas in just one appointment with discrete incisions that are easy to conceal.
Flankplasty
A flankplasty can be considered part of a lower body lift. However, a flankplasty is specifically designed to address the “flanks” or or “love handles”–the areas between the hips and lower back. Sculpting this area with body contouring procedures using excisional or liposuction techniques can help patients achieve a curvier figure.
Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) can improve the volume and shape of the buttocks. During a BBL, Dr. Azad will perform liposuction to remove excess fat from one area of the body and inject it into the buttocks. You must have enough donor fat cells for a fat transfer to receive a BBL. With the procedure, Dr. Azad can accentuate your curves and reshape your buttocks.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes pockets of fat with gentle suction so you can enjoy a smoother figure and a more athletic appearance. As you age and your metabolism changes, removing stubborn pockets of fat with diet and exercise can be difficult. Dr. Azad will cleanse the treatment area with tumescent fluid and permanently remove the fat with a thin cannula for lasting results.
Arm Lift
An arm lift removes droopy skin from the upper arms, colloquially known as “bat wings.” Excess skin can affect your body proportions and how your clothes fit. With the procedure, Dr. Azad can effectively remove it and perform liposuction to remove excess fat for a smoother appearance.
Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover is a collection of specialized procedures that reshape the body after pregnancy for a smoother, curvier figure. If you have pockets of stubborn fat on the hips, thighs, or abdomen, we can address them during a mommy makeover and perform multiple procedures during one appointment to minimize downtime.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction decreases the size of the breasts for a more proportional appearance. If you were born with large breasts or experienced changes to your figure after hormonal shifts or pregnancy, the procedure can reshape your breasts and remove excess tissue for a natural appearance. Breast reduction can also help address gynecomastia–a condition that causes enlarged male breasts from high levels of estrogen in the body.

- Tighter, smoother skin: You can enjoy a smoother, more athletic figure after removing excess skin.

Candidates & Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Azad will ask about your medical history, aesthetic goals, and current medications to create a personalized treatment plan for your needs. Since body contouring is customizable, he can address multiple body goals during a single appointment. Suitable candidates for body contouring are nonsmokers in overall good health who have realistic expectations about what they can achieve with the procedure. If you have pockets of fat and excess skin that you would like to remove, we can strategically target different areas.
Results
Your body contouring results will depend on your procedure. After removing excess skin, you can enjoy a slender figure and balanced body proportions. Many patients also find that body contouring procedures improve their self-confidence and help them feel more comfortable in different types of clothing. If you take good care of your body, follow a well-balanced diet, and exercise consistently, you can also enjoy lasting results.
