While there are many reasons people undergo body contouring plastic surgery, two main purposes are to sculpt away unwanted, hard-to-lose fat and tighten excess skin that may hang unflatteringly from different parts of the body. Just under the skin, overlying the muscle is subcutaneous fat. This type of fat is employed by the body to prevent heat loss, protect from dermal infection, and cushion vital organs from external pressures.^[1] Because this type of fat is utilized differently by our bodies, it can be almost impossible to shed subcutaneous fat through proper diet and exercise alone. In addition to stubborn, hard-to-lose fat, excess skin is a common remedy for body contouring procedures. As we age, our skin loses its natural elasticity. So, once it stretches past a certain point, it can never bounce back on its own. This can be disheartening for those who are at the end of a significant weight-loss journey or have stretchy skin after a recent pregnancy. 

Body Contouring in Hamburg

Arm Lift

For many, unwanted skin and fat can accumulate on the upper arms. While exercise and diet can help rid the area of unwanted fat, the excess skin is impossible to restore on its own. For patients with unwanted tissue around the arms, Dr. Dalia utilizes an arm lift. By gently making an incision from your elbow to your armpit, Dr. Dalia creates an entry point to later excise any superfluous tissue. If there’s also unwanted fat in the area, Dr. Dalia liposuctions the area before tightening the tissue and carefully suturing the incision closed. Patients who undergo an arm lift walk away with sleeker, more contoured, and defined arms.

Back Lift

Loose, excess skin can hang around your back and bra line. Since it’s harder for you to see, you might not notice it, but for many of our clients, this unwanted tissue can be a central insecurity and deciding factor for what they wear. To remedy this condition, Dr. Dalia uses a back lift. In a back lift, Dr. Dalia excises excess skin tissue and liposuctions any subcutaneous fat to give your back a more slender, smoother appearance. 

Body Contouring After Massive Weight Loss

After a massive weight loss, you might feel healthy and be more active, but you might also be overwhelmed by loose, hanging skin all around your body. From your arms to your abdomen to your chest to your back, all of the excess skin can hide the muscles you have worked so hard to display. For patients with multiple areas of unwanted skin tissue, Dr. Dalia specializes in customized body contouring for patients who have undergone a massive weight loss. 

Brazilian Butt Lift

For those who want a sexy, rounder bottom, Dr. Dalia utilizes the ever-popular Brazilian butt lift. With a Brazilian butt lift, Dr. Dalia relocates donor fatty tissue from different areas around your body to the buttocks. By injecting your organic, fatty tissue, Dr. Dalia then shapes and molds the new, elevated contours of your bum. This procedure is ideal for those who want a natural lift to the bottom half of their silhouette.   

Buttocks Lift

Many people have loose, excess skin around their buttocks and wish to see only the skin removed so they can unveil the natural contours of their backside. To do so, Dr. Dalia uses a buttocks lift. With a buttocks lift, Dr. Dalia first makes a discreet incision, pulls the skin tautly, and carefully excises the extra tissue.

Fat Transfer

Like in a Brazilian butt lift, Dr. Dalia utilizes a fat transfer to boost the contoured shape of a patient’s backside. Fat transfer can also be used to accentuate, enhance, and volumize the shape of a patient’s breasts. This natural alternative to implants is perfect for those who want to detour from the traditional breast augmentation procedure. 

Hand Rejuvenation 

As we age, our hands can appear veiny, thin, and frail. This is because the tops of our hands are adversely affected by exposure to UV radiation, resulting in the gradual loss of collagen and elastin.^[2] To remedy this appearance, Dr. Dalia has a set of treatments for hand rejuvenation. From a fat transfer and dermal filler to chemical peels, Dr. Dalia can restore the youthful glow to your hands!

Intimate Surgery

Though enlarged and asymmetrical labia are common, many women see this as an insecurity and some may even experience serious discomfort from this condition. To remedy these problems, Dr. Dalia performs a labiaplasty. By carefully removing the extra tissue from the labia, Dr. Dalia can give your most sensitive region a more flattering, streamlined appearance. 

Lipoedema

Lipoedema is a sometimes painful condition where an abnormal amount of fat can accumulate around the calves, thighs, buttocks, and arms. As it is more common in women, these symptoms begin in early puberty and can concentrate even more during pregnancy. To learn how Dr. Dalia can remedy your symptoms of lipoedema, please schedule a personal consultation at our Hamburg offices. 

Liposuction

To remove unwanted fat from several areas around your body, Dr. Dalia uses the most advanced, effective liposuction techniques and technologies. With a cannula to gently suction away subcutaneous fatty tissue, Dr. Dalia can treat just about any part of your body. Since liposuction is a simple procedure, our patients commonly include it in their personalized treatment plan. It is a great complementary service to a number of our other wonderful body contouring procedures. 

Liposuction & Fat Transfer

As is popular in procedures like a Brazilian butt lift and natural breast augmentation, liposuction and fat transfer are utilized to enhance certain contours while diminishing others. Because your fat is relocated to another area of the body, the results look natural and respond organically to diet and exercise. 

Male Liposuction

Liposuction is not only a procedure for women to achieve their desired aesthetic physique. This remarkable procedure can also assist men in losing stubborn belly fat, love handles, bat wings, and oversized male breasts. This procedure is a wonderful way to finally achieve your six-pack of abs or to display your peak and rounded biceps. It is ideal for men of all ages and all body types. From men at the end of a weight-loss journey to men who have tried all the novel diet and exercise trends, liposuction is a simple, effective way to achieve your longed-for physique. 

Mommy Makeover

After childbirth and breastfeeding, you might notice all the physical changes that come with being a mother. A mommy makeover is a comprehensive procedure to restore your pre-baby body. While some patients will require all of these procedures, many only need one or two to regain their figure. If you would like to see what can be included in your mommy makeover procedure, please do not hesitate to schedule a consultation with Dr. Dalia Tobbia today! 

Thigh Lift

Loose skin around the legs is a common condition for those who have undergone a weight-loss journey. It can affect how confident one is in their body and what type of clothes one feels comfortable wearing. To remedy this loose skin draped around the upper leg, Dr. Dalia utilizes a thigh lift. With a discreet incision where the leg and groin meet, Dr. Dalia can gently pull the loose skin tight and carefully cut away the overlapping tissue. 

Tummy Tuck

After pregnancy, the abdomen may have loose, extra skin. It may also have a prominent bulge from diastasis recti. This condition occurs when abdominal pressure forces the perpendicular musculature to widen too much and break away from the connective tissue in the center.^[3] During a tummy tuck, Dr. Dalia makes an incision under the bikini line and repairs these separated muscles with sutures. Once they are back in their original position, these muscles no longer make a bulge in the center of the abdomen. Next, the extraneous tissue is sculpted away and the incision is sutured, leaving behind a perfectly contoured abdomen ready for swimsuit season!

Ultrasonic High-Definition Liposuction 

To maximize the amount of fat she can remove during liposuction, Dr. Dalia offers Ultrasonic High Definition liposuction. When applied to the target areas, the ultrasonic sound waves dislodge the fat cells from the surrounding connective tissue, allowing easier access to fat cells during liposuction. With ultrasonic high-definition liposuction, more fat is removed during a procedure that is less invasive than other liposuction techniques.^[4]
