Whether it's pregnancy, weight loss, or simply time, your body can change in ways you're ready to address.
Body Procedures in Jackson and Flowood, MS
A Team Fit for Your Every Need
Pregnancy, significant weight loss, and the natural effects of time can all reshape the body in ways that diet and exercise alone don't fully resolve. Because our team includes board-certified/eligible surgeons experienced across a full range of body procedures, we help patients address these changes with a plan built around their specific anatomy and goals, not a generic approach applied to everyone.
Our Body Procedures
We offer a full range of body procedures, so your care can adjust as your needs or goals change over time.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles for a flatter, firmer contour.
Mommy Makeover
Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover combines procedures, often including a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast surgery, to address changes from pregnancy in a single coordinated plan.
Body Lift
Body Lift
A body lift removes and tightens excess skin across multiple areas, often following major weight loss.
Arm Lift
Arm Lift
An arm lift removes excess skin and fat from the upper arm to create a more toned, proportionate contour.
Thigh Lift
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift removes excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thigh to improve contour and comfort.
Liposuction
Liposuction
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits to refine and contour specific areas of the body.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty reshapes or reduces the labia to address discomfort or aesthetic concerns.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction
Laser-Assisted Liposuction
Laser-assisted liposuction uses laser energy to help break down fat before removal, often improving skin tightening in the treated area.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction uses sound wave energy to help break down fat, which is often used in denser or more fibrous treatment areas.
Panniculectomy
Panniculectomy
A panniculectomy removes excess skin and tissue that hangs over the lower abdomen, often following significant weight loss.
Body Contouring
Body Contouring
Body contouring reshapes areas of the body through a combination of implants, lifts, fat transfer, or the removal of excess skin and fat.
Skin Removal After Major Weight Loss
Skin Removal After Major Weight Loss
Skin removal surgery addresses the excess, loose skin that often remains after significant weight loss, restoring a more proportionate contour.
Brazilian Butt Lift
Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian Butt Lift uses a patient's own fat, removed through liposuction, to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks.
Cosmetic vs. Restorative Body Procedures
Some body procedures, like liposuction or a Brazilian Butt Lift, are chosen primarily to refine shape and proportion. Others, like a panniculectomy or skin removal after major weight loss, restore comfort and function by addressing excess skin and tissue that can cause physical discomfort. Many patients pursue a combination of both, and our surgeons are experienced in each.

Your Results and Recovery
Recovery varies considerably depending on the specific body procedure, from a relatively short recovery for some liposuction techniques to a longer healing process for combination procedures like a mommy makeover or body lift. Once your procedure is determined, your surgeon will walk you through a detailed recovery timeline, along with what to expect at each stage and when you'll see final results.

Body Procedures Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which body procedure is right for me?
During your consultation, we'll discuss your goals and health history to help determine the right procedure, or combination of procedures, for you.
Can body procedures be combined into one surgery?
Yes. Many patients combine multiple procedures, such as those included in a mommy makeover, as part of one coordinated surgical plan.
What's the difference between the different liposuction techniques you offer?
Traditional, laser-assisted, and ultrasound-assisted liposuction all remove fat but use different methods to break it down before removal. Your surgeon can recommend the technique best suited to your treatment area and goals.
How long does recovery take after a body procedure?
Recovery varies significantly depending on the procedure performed. Your surgeon will provide a detailed recovery timeline specific to your treatment plan during your consultation.
Is a body procedure a substitute for weight loss?
No. Most body procedures are designed to address excess skin, stubborn fat, or contour concerns that may remain after weight loss rather than serve as a weight-loss method themselves.
Will I have visible scarring after a body procedure?
Some scarring is expected with most surgical body procedures. Your surgeon will discuss expected scar placement, healing, and ways to help minimize the appearance of scars during your consultation.
Is financing available for body procedures?
Yes. We offer financing options for patients interested in learning more. Ask our team during your consultation for details.
