Shape, Refined

Marina Plastic Surgery offers advanced body contouring in Los Angeles, helping patients reshape, refine, and regain confidence in their bodies, especially after major weight loss or pregnancy. Led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Justin Perez, our practice specializes in sculpting natural-looking results with both surgical and non-surgical body contouring procedures. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn fat, excess skin, or structural changes after transformation, we design a personalized treatment plan to match your goals and lifestyle.

What is Body Contouring?

Body contouring refers to a range of surgical procedures and non-invasive treatments that reshape and tighten the body after weight loss, aging, or pregnancy. These treatments are designed to remove unwanted fat, tighten skin, and restore smoother, more proportional contours to one or more body areas.

At Marina Plastic Surgery, we focus on long-lasting, safe results. For non-surgical body contouring, we may recommend radiofrequency energy or cold temperatures to reduce fat cells without incisions. For patients with significant changes in body structure or excess skin, surgical procedures like liposuction, tummy tuck, or body lift are often more effective.

Body Contouring Benefits

At our practice servicing Los Angeles Body contouring is more than a cosmetic fix. It’s a physical and emotional reset. For many patients, achieving their desired results brings a sense of closure after a long health journey.

Benefits include:

Elimination of excess fat and sagging skin
Sculpted, proportional shape
Improved comfort in clothing and daily movement
Long-lasting results when combined with healthy habits
Reduced risk of rashes or irritation from skin folds
Boost in self-esteem and positive outlook

Some non-invasive body sculpting options also reduce cellulite and help tighten skin without downtime, depending on patient needs and goals.

Body Contouring Candidates

When considering body contouring Los Angeles patients that come to us, generally:

Are at a stable weight for 6+ months
Struggle with excess skin or stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet/exercise
Are in good overall health
Have realistic expectations about results and recovery
Want to improve comfort, mobility, or clothing fit

Some non-surgical body contouring may be an option for those not ready for surgery, but the most significant results come from body procedures that address both skin and fat.

Contraindications include poor wound healing, uncontrolled medical conditions, or unrealistic expectations. We’ll walk you through every step to ensure you’re a good candidate.

Consultation and Preparation

Before scheduling body contouring procedures, you’ll meet with Dr. Perez for a personalized consultation. This is where we:

Assess your body areas of concern
Discuss your goals and daily routine
Evaluate your skin quality, medical history, and previous weight loss
Recommend a customized plan of multiple treatments if needed

Preparation may include adjusting medications, lab work, stopping smoking, and creating a post-op support plan. Every detail is covered to set you up for success

Your Body Contouring Procedure

Body Contouring procedures are performed under general anesthesia in our surgical center. Depending on the treatment plan, surgery may last between two and six hours and may involve one or more areas of the body.

Expect:

Strategic incisions for minimal visible scarring
Removal of excess fat and/or skin
Tightening of underlying tissue and fascia
Surgical support garments post-op

Our team includes a skilled anesthesiologist and post-operative nursing staff to support your recovery.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Your recovery depends on the extent of your procedure. Most patients take one to three weeks off work and gradually resume normal activity as swelling and soreness improve.

Key notes:

Bruising, swelling, and tightness are expected early on
Compression garments help with healing and skin retraction
Incision care and light movement help avoid complications
Full results may take three to six months to reveal

We’ll guide you through scar care, light exercise protocols, and how to maintain your outcome through nutrition and lifestyle.
