Whether you’ve lost weight and have loose skin to contend with, or you just want to trim those last few areas down that never seem to look as firm and tight as you want them to, Dr. Alizadeh's body contouring in New York City can do wonders to sculpt your physique.

What is body contouring?

Body contouring, or body sculpting, can eliminate fat, shape areas of the body and tighten skin using a variety of methods, both surgical and non-surgical. Non-surgical body sculpting, also called lipolysis, uses cold, heat, lasers and other methods. Surgical options include tucks, lifts and liposuction. Surgery has more risks and longer recovery, but it usually provides more significant and noticeable results.

What are the benefits of body contouring?

Body contouring has many benefits. Those who have lost significant weight and have heavy, draping skin will be freed of this, which allows for a completion of their weight loss journey, easier exercise and mobility options, and better hygiene. Those who are targeting key areas to shape and sculpt as a part of their physique experience many benefits as well.

Dr. Alizadeh's NYC body contouring patients often find the following benefits from this procedure:

  • More defined, well-shaped physique
  • Younger, thinner appearance
  • Reduced stretch marks, wrinkles, and cellulite
  • Eliminated fat
  • A more sculpted figure
  • Difficult areas toned and trimmed
  • Loose, hanging skin removed and remaining skin tightened and firmed

Who is a candidate for body contouring? 

You may be a candidate for body contouring if you are tired of seeing stubborn pockets of fat and would like to see a trimmed, sculpted figure instead. Generally, candidates should meet the following criteria:

  • You are close to your ideal weight (within 10-20 pounds)
  • You don’t have scars, infections or open sores in the problem areas
  • You’re generally healthy
  • You don’t smoke
  • You have excess skin following significant weight loss
  • You have positive, realistic goals about what body contouring can do for you
  • You have fat in trouble areas despite a good diet and regular exercise

Types of body contouring

Body contouring can be accomplished using many different procedures, both surgical and non-surgical. Dr. Alizadeh offers a wide variety of body contouring procedures in his New York City office, including options that can be customized for each patient.

Surgical body contouring methods

Dr. Alizadeh specializes in a number of procedures for surgical body contouring in New York City at his private practice, from liposuction to muscle lifting and shaping.

NaturaTuckTummy Tuck

Dr. Alizadeh has spent years perfecting the tummy tuck procedure and has developed a trademarked technique, called NaturaTuck™ Abdominoplasty, which improves upon older approaches to tummy-tuck surgery. It is designed to help men and women tighten and realign their stomach muscles, remove excess abdominal skin and fat, and recreate the belly button for a tighter, sleeker-looking abdomen. The NaturaTuck™ provides better results, minimizes scarring, uses progressive-tension sutures (PTS), requires minimal or no use of abdominal drains, and maximizes state-of-the-art anesthesia techniques to block nerves to the abdomen. This means little to no pain the first week after surgery. In fact, they popularly call his NaturaTuck™ Abdominoplasty the "no pain, no drain" tummy tuck.

NaturaSmooth™ Liposuction

NaturaSmooth™ liposuction provides a marked reduction in isolated pockets of fat that do not respond to diet or exercise. Common treatment areas include the upper arms, male breasts, love handles, abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, double chin, upper back or even knees.  Liposuction has become one of the safest, most successful, and most widely requested plastic surgery procedures worldwide, removing fat from targeted areas and achieving a sculpted, trimmer physique.

Post-Bariatric Surgery

This procedure is done following massive weight loss after bariatric surgery. Previous weight, often hundreds of pounds, stretched the skin to the maximum, greatly reducing its elasticity. Once the weight is lost, layers of extra hanging skin remain across the body, including a large apron of skin hanging from the stomach that can cover the groin area.

Post-bariatric surgery is done to remove these excess folds and tighten the remaining skin, returning the normal, attractive appearance of the body and allowing the patient to fully complete their weight loss journey.

NaturaCurve™ Buttocks Lift Surgery

To lift and shape the buttocks, Dr. Alizadeh exclusively employs NaturaCurve™ Brazilian Buttocks Augmentation, improving safety and outcomes with decreased recovery time. Dr. Alizadeh has the aesthetic eye of a sculptor, a gift he uses to his patients' advantage to achieve incredibly beautiful, feminine NaturaCurve™ Buttocks Augmentation results. He understands intuitively that harmonious contrast creates the most appealing curves.

A Brazilian butt lift uses a woman's own fat or silicone implants to enhance her feminine curves and bring her body into better proportion and aesthetic balance. It also helps men and women who have had trauma, scarring, or asymmetry of the buttocks and want to use their own natural tissue to achieve a more balanced result.

Non-surgical body contouring methods

Also known as non-surgical fat reduction. There are a variety of non-surgical fat reduction procedures that Dr. Alizadeh performs in his NYC office. These procedures reduce or remove stubborn pockets of fat to contour and shape different areas of the body.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting reduces volume more gradually in the treated area than liposuction. There are no incisions, sutures, or potential scars to consider. This means the patient can go right back to typical daily activities—even work—as soon as a session is done.

CoolSculpting destroys fat with extreme cold, and the body naturally flushes these dead cells out. The freezing point for fat is higher than other tissue, so surrounding skin and muscles are not harmed. The treatment can be used on large areas, such as the belly, flanks, or thighs, or on small areas, such as below the chin. The procedure usually takes less than an hour.

Ultrashape & Cellfina

UltraShape helps reduce isolated areas of fat on the abdomen, hips, and thighs. It is the only ultrasound device approved by the FDA to safely target and destroy fat cells, leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. The treatment takes about one hour and provides smoother definition to targeted stubborn fat pockets.

For patients who struggle with cellulite, Dr. Alizadeh offers Cellfina, a minimally invasive, FDA-approved treatment. During the procedure, which takes less than an hour, Dr. Alizadeh uses a needle-sized device to release the bands of connective tissue that pull on the skin's surface and create small dimples of cellulite. This skin-smoothing procedure has no downtime, and our patients report minimal bruising or pain following treatment. Results last approximately two years.

Profound Cellulite Treatment

If you are plagued by cellulite, Cosmoplastic Surgery also offers Profound skin tightening cellulite treatment. The Profound system is a laser injectable that works by delivering precise heat to a specific depth of your skin’s deeper layers to trigger a regenerative effect. It addresses cellulite dimples and rejuvenates sagging or aging skin. Profound is popular for its wonderful results and minimal downtime.

NaturaGlow™ Fat Transfer

NaturaGlow™ fat transfer is a procedure done to remove unwanted fat from one area of the body and replenish it in another. Dr. Alizadeh routinely uses fat transfer to add volume and contour to the buttocks, hands, and face or to recreate during breast reconstruction the breast's natural shape and feel. While Dr. Alizadeh focuses on safety and superior aesthetic outcomes, his fat-grafting patients embrace the dual benefit of this effective, long-lasting procedure.

J-Plasma

The J-Plasma advanced facial rejuvenation technology combines powerful RF (radio frequency) energy with helium plasma to revitalize and refresh the complexion, removing blemishes while firming sagging skin. J-Plasma comes with minimal discomfort or downtime and can be used effectively in multiple areas of the face and body.
