Body Procedures

Dr. Markov offers procedures for the body to create your desired look and boost your body confidence.

What is Body Contouring?

Body contouring aims to sculpt the body by reducing or removing fat, tightening skin, and improving tone. It can involve surgical and/or non-surgical procedures, depending on the desired outcome.

Tummy Tuck

This cosmetic procedure removes fat and skin from the abdomen to create a firmer, flatter appearance. It can involve tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles.

Lipo 360

Also known as circumferential liposuction, this procedure removes excess fat from multiple areas around the torso in a 360-degree fashion.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes excess fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, or arms, to reshape or reduce volume.

Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian butt lift transfers fat from the hips, belly, or thighs to the buttocks to add volume and improve contour.

Mommy Makeover

A “mommy makeover” aims to reshape the body following pregnancy and giving birth. This personalized set of procedures can include a tummy tuck, breast augmentation or lift, liposuction, and/or labiaplasty.

Labiaplasty

The appearance of the labia can change with aging, pregnancy, childbirth, and other events. Though there is no “normal” look for the labia, a labiaplasty reshapes or reduces the size of the labia minora, the skin folds surrounding the urethra and vagina.

Weight Loss Body Contouring

Because weight loss involves fat reduction, it may also result in loose skin and sagging tissue. Body contouring improves the appearance by removing excess skin and restoring shape.

Diastasis Recti Repair

The abdominal muscles can separate due to pregnancy, causing the abdomen to protrude and potentially leading to health problems like hernias. This surgical procedure repairs the muscle separation to restore core strength, flatten the abdominal wall, and reduce diastasis recti symptoms like lower back pain and urinary incontinence.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Recovery from a tummy tuck generally takes 4-6 weeks. Patients typically need to rest and limit physical activities during the first couple of weeks. Swelling and discomfort are common initially but gradually decrease. Wearing a compression garment helps support the healing process and reduce swelling. Dr. Markov will provide detailed post-operative instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor recovery progress.

  • Liposuction targets specific areas of the body to remove excess fat and improve contour. Common areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, and arms. Lipo 360, or circumferential liposuction, is more comprehensive and involves removing fat from multiple areas around the torso, such as the abdomen, waist, and back, to create a balanced and contoured 360-degree transformation.

  • A “mommy makeover” is a customized set of procedures designed to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy and childbirth. It often includes a combination of procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast augmentation or lift, liposuction, and labiaplasty. The exact combination is tailored to the patient’s specific goals and needs, addressing areas affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.

  • It is generally recommended to wait until your weight has stabilized for at least six months after significant weight loss before considering body contouring procedures. This waiting period ensures optimal and long-lasting results. Consulting with a plastic surgeon helps determine the best timing and approach for your body contouring goals.

  • No, labiaplasty is not solely for cosmetic purposes. While many patients seek this procedure to enhance the appearance of the labia, it can also address functional concerns. These may include discomfort during physical activities, irritation, or hygiene issues. Labiaplasty can improve comfort and confidence, whether the reasons are aesthetic, functional, or both.
