Body Sculpting Procedures Offered
Liposuction
Liposuction
Liposuction addresses localized fat deposits that remain resistant despite healthy habits. The procedure focuses on refining contour and proportion rather than weight loss, helping smooth transitions and enhance overall body balance in a measured, natural way.
Vaser Liposuction
Vaser Liposuction
VASER liposuction uses ultrasound technology to target fat while preserving surrounding tissues. This approach allows for more precise contouring and is often chosen when patients want enhanced definition with careful attention to natural lines and proportion.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck addresses excess skin and weakened abdominal muscles, commonly following pregnancy or weight changes. By restoring internal support and refining the midsection, the procedure improves both contour and physical comfort.
Arm Lift
Arm Lift
An arm lift removes excess skin and tissue from the upper arms to improve contour and ease of movement. It is often considered when skin laxity affects clothing fit or causes self-consciousness, particularly after weight loss.
Extended Arm Lift
Extended Arm Lift
An extended arm lift addresses more significant skin laxity that extends beyond the upper arm into the side of the chest. This procedure provides a more continuous contour for patients seeking broader upper-body refinement.
Mommy Makeover
Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover combines procedures such as tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast surgery to address multiple changes related to pregnancy. Planning is individualized, allowing concerns to be treated together when appropriate.
Fat Transfer
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer uses your own tissue to restore or enhance volume in areas such as the hips or buttocks. The approach emphasizes proportion and softness, creating results that integrate naturally with existing anatomy.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty addresses concerns related to comfort, symmetry, or irritation of the labia. The procedure is planned with sensitivity and discretion, focusing on physical comfort and personal confidence.

Recovery after body sculpting varies based on the procedure and individual healing. Many patients experience swelling, soreness, or temporary tightness during early recovery, with gradual improvement over time.

Frequently Asked Questions Body Sculpting
How do I know which body sculpting procedure is right for me?
Most patients begin with a specific concern rather than a procedure. Consultations focus on clarifying goals and determining which option best supports comfort, proportion, and long-term results.
Is body sculpting meant for weight loss?
No. Body sculpting improves contour and shape, not overall weight. It works best for patients near a stable weight with localized concerns.
Can multiple body sculpting procedures be combined?
In some cases, combining procedures is appropriate and efficient. These decisions are based on safety, anatomy, and recovery considerations discussed during consultation.
What if I only want to address one small area?
Many patients focus on a single area. Treatment plans are tailored to individual goals rather than bundled approaches.
How long does recovery usually take?
Recovery varies by procedure and individual healing. Dr. Restivo discusses realistic downtime and activity limitations so patients can plan confidently.
Will body sculpting results look obvious?
The goal is subtle improvement. Procedures are planned to enhance natural contours rather than create dramatic or artificial changes.
Is body sculpting appropriate after significant weight loss?
Yes. Many patients seek body sculpting after weight loss to address loose skin or contour changes. Candidacy depends on health and skin quality.
Can body sculpting improve physical comfort?
Yes. Procedures such as a tummy tuck or arm lift can improve comfort, posture, and mobility when excess tissue causes strain or irritation.
What role does consultation play in planning?
Consultations are designed to provide clarity and education. Many patients use them to understand options before deciding whether or when to proceed.
Are non-surgical options available for body contouring?
Yes. Non-surgical treatments may be appropriate for certain concerns and are discussed when relevant during consultation.
