Our Body Contouring Procedures
Mommy Makeover
Flourish Surgical Arts specializes in mommy makeovers for women who want to restore their pre-baby bodies. This comprehensive surgery involves multiple procedures, most commonly focusing on the abdomen, breasts, and buttocks. It may include a breast lift, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, liposuction, and Brazilian butt lift. We do not recommend getting a mommy makeover until patients are near their ideal body weight and finished with childbearing.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the belly while tightening weakened abdominal muscles. This surgery is designed for people with loose skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from specific body areas using a hollow tube called a cannula. It can be performed on the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, and chin. Modern liposuction techniques include ultrasonic, laser, and power-assisted technology, which improves results and recovery.
Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) involves transferring fat from other areas of the body to enhance and reshape the buttocks. The procedure begins with liposuction to harvest fat, which is then purified and strategically injected into the backside. Patients must avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for several weeks after surgery to ensure optimal fat integration.
Buttock Lift
A traditional buttock lift involves surgical excision (cutting away) of excess skin from the backside. It is often recommended for patients who have lost significant weight and have loose tissue in the buttock region. Unlike a BBL, this surgery focuses on skin removal rather than volume enhancement.
Body Lift
A body lift is a comprehensive procedure that removes excess skin and fat from multiple areas, including the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. It is typically performed on patients with significant skin laxity around their midsection. The procedure requires several weeks of recovery time, resulting in circumferential improvement of the body contours.
Brachioplasty
Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape the underside of the upper arms, extending from the shoulder to the elbow. This surgery removes excess skin and fat, resulting in a more toned and youthful appearance
Body Contouring After Massive Weight Loss
This aesthetic surgery involves multiple procedures to remove excess skin and reshape the body after significant weight reduction. These procedures are typically performed in stages to ensure patient safety and optimal healing. Common areas addressed include the arms, breasts, abdomen, thighs, and back.
Male Breast Reduction
Male breast reduction (gynecomastia surgery) removes excess breast tissue and fat to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour. The procedure can be performed using liposuction alone or combined with surgical excision (cutting away) of glandular tissue. Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, with patients gradually returning to normal activities.
Male Body Contouring
Male body contouring focuses on creating masculine features through targeted fat removal and muscle enhancement. The procedures highlight natural male anatomy, such as six-pack abs and broader shoulders. Recovery times vary depending on the operations performed, but most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks.
Post Bariatric Surgery
Flourish Surgical Arts offers post bariatric body contouring for patients who have undergone significant weight loss and are left with excess, sagging skin. These procedures are designed to reshape the body and improve comfort, mobility, and appearance. Common surgeries include tummy tuck, body lift, arm lift, thigh lift, and breast lift or augmentation. Ideal candidates are at a stable weight and in good overall health.
Lipo 360
Flourish Surgical Arts provides Lipo 360 for patients seeking comprehensive body contouring around the midsection. This advanced liposuction technique targets the abdomen, flanks, and lower back to create a smooth, sculpted silhouette from every angle. Lipo 360 is ideal for individuals at or near their goal weight who want to enhance their natural contours and achieve a more defined waistline.
Before & After Body Surgery
Preparation for Body Surgery
Getting any body contouring procedure is a big decision, so we recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Nesiba first. During this meeting in our Denver office, patients can ask questions about the surgery, recovery, and potential results. Feeling anxious is natural, whether you’re considering liposuction or a full-body lift. We are here to listen, answer questions, and help you become a better version of yourself!
Recovery After Body Surgery
First 24 Hours
After body surgery, patients return home the same day. Rest is crucial during the first 24 hours to allow the body to begin healing. Pain and swelling are common and can be managed with prescribed medications. Compression garments are typically required to minimize symptoms and support the treated areas. Patients should limit their movement to prevent strain on the incisions.
Week 1
During the first week, swelling and bruising are more pronounced but should gradually improve. Patients are encouraged to avoid strenuous activities and continue wearing compression garments as instructed. Incision sites require gentle care to prevent infection, including cleaning and applying prescribed ointments. Light walking is often recommended to improve circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots.
Week 2–4
By the second week, discomfort should lessen, and bruising typically begins to fade. Swelling may persist but continues to decrease. Patients can gradually resume light activities, although heavy lifting and vigorous exercise remain restricted. Follow-up appointments during this period allow Dr. Nesiba to monitor progress and address any concerns. Patients usually return to work after 10-14 days of recovery.
Month 2 and Beyond
The swelling resolves significantly by the second month, revealing a more refined appearance of the treated areas. Compression garments may no longer be required, depending on the surgeon’s instructions. At this stage, patients are usually cleared for more intense physical activities. Final results become visible over the next several months as the body fully heals.
Scar Care
Proper scar care is essential for achieving the best possible healing outcomes. Immediately after the procedure, patients should follow Dr. Nesiba’s instructions for wound care to minimize the risk of infection and promote optimal healing. Scar management may include cleaning the treated area and applying prescribed ointments or creams. Once the incision has fully healed, techniques like massaging the scar, using silicone sheets, or applying sunscreen can help reduce its appearance over time. Regular follow-up appointments allow Dr. Nesiba to monitor the healing process and address any concerns related to scarring. Patience is key, as scars typically fade and soften gradually over several months to a year.
