What Is Body Surgery?
Body surgery refers to various cosmetic procedures that reshape or alter parts of the patient’s body. These operations aim to enhance physical appearance and self-confidence. On average, body surgery takes between 2 and 6 hours, depending on the type and extent of the procedure. It may include a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, liposuction, Brazilian Butt Lift, and more. Body surgeries have become increasingly common over the past few decades as cosmetic procedures gain wider acceptance and accessibility.
Consultation & Preparation for Body Surgery
Thorough preparation is critical before undergoing body surgery. The process typically begins with an initial consultation, during which the patient meets with Dr. Zach to discuss their goals and options while evaluating medical history and current health status. If the person is deemed an appropriate candidate, additional appointments may be scheduled to perform bloodwork, imaging scans, and other medical tests.
Once cleared for surgery, the patient is counseled on crucial pre-operation activities, like fasting, medication adjustments, transportation, and at-home care arrangements. Other vital components involve reviewing risks, side effects, expected outcomes, recovery specifics, and follow-up plans. Signing consent forms finalizes the preparation process, allowing us to set a surgery date.
Our Body Surgery Procedures
Brazilian Butt Lift
Dr. Zach uses liposuction to remove fat from specific body areas and inject it into the buttocks to create a fuller, rounder shape. This surgery helps achieve a more youthful look and enhances overall proportions. It also creates more balance between the upper and lower body. In many cases, patients can achieve an hourglass figure.
Athletic Brazilian Butt Lift
This procedure is designed for people with more muscular bodies and smaller frames. Dr. Zach uses liposuction to remove fat from the hips, thighs, or abdomen. He then performs fat grafting, injecting that tissue into the buttocks to make them look rounder and perkier. This surgery is ideal for patients who want an athletic appearance rather than just increasing size. It also creates better muscle definition.
Tummy Tuck
This cosmetic procedure removes excess skin and fat from the belly and may also tighten the abdominal muscles. It aims to create a flatter, more toned stomach profile. After a tummy tuck, patients enjoy their new contours and feel more comfortable with their belly appearance.
Mommy Makeover
This combination procedure addresses multiple body changes that can occur after pregnancy and childbirth. It may include a tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation, and liposuction performed together. The goal is to restore pre-baby contours of the breasts, abdomen, hips, and other areas.
Ab Etching
This is a minimally invasive procedure that enhances the appearance of abdominal muscles. Dr. Zach makes tiny incisions and extracts excess fat to create a defined shape. It helps achieve the look of a six- or eight-pack without extreme abdominal exercise.
Breast Augmentation
This procedure aims to increase the size and enhance the shape of the breasts through saline or silicone breast implants. It can create a better proportion between the breasts and hips. There is also an alternative way to augment breasts via natural fat transfer. Dr. Zach will collect fat tissue from other body parts and inject it into breasts to add up to one more cup size.
Breast Lift
This surgery removes excess skin and reshapes the breasts to make them appear fuller, firmer, and more youthful. The procedure raises the position of the nipple/areola complex and tightens surrounding breast tissue to provide upper pole fullness. As an expert in breast lift, Dr. Zach can create more youthful and attractive contours. This breast surgery helps women with sagging to restore their appearance and enhance their self-confidence.

Recovery After Plastic Surgery Procedures
The First 24 Hours
Patients are monitored closely for several hours as they wake up from general anesthesia. Pain medication is given to manage discomfort. Initially, patients may feel nauseous or confused. Vital signs are checked routinely, and incisions are observed for proper healing. Patients return home the same day to rest and start their recovery journey.
Week 1
During the first week after surgery, pain and discomfort gradually subside. However, patients should continue taking any prescribed medication. Incisions are checked, and dressings are changed regularly. Patients slowly increase mobility and start a special nutrition plan to regain strength. Standard post-operative instructions include the following:
avoid lifting objects
do not submerge incisions underwater
get adequate rest
attend all follow-up appointments
Weeks 2-3
By weeks 2-3, patients experience decreased pain and increased independence with movement. Bandages are removed, and light activity can resume with Dr. Zach’s clearance. During follow-up appointments, he monitors how wounds are healing. Patients may still feel tired and require help with daily tasks until endurance returns.
Weeks 4+
Wounds should be healed over a month after surgery. During this time, Dr. Zach gives clearance to resume all regular activities. Discomfort fades, although tightness and numbness may persist around scars. Patients should temporarily avoid strenuous exercise but can perform light strength training. Depending on the nature and extent of surgical procedures, complete recovery and final results may take 3-12 months.
Candidates for Body Surgery
- Ideal Candidates: The ideal candidate for body surgery has realistic expectations about the results and good overall health without uncontrolled medical conditions. They should also have a positive attitude, follow the surgeon’s instructions, and attend all consultations and follow-ups.
- Age Considerations: There are some age requirements or considerations for most body surgery procedures. The minimum age may range from 18 to 21, depending on physical development and psychological condition. While there is no strict maximum limit, older patients have higher risks related to anesthesia and recovery. Candidates should consult Dr. Zach regarding age criteria.
- Lifestyle Factors: One’s lifestyle and commitment to post-operative care also influence candidacy. Patients must be willing to take sufficient time off work, adjust their activities, and follow all instructions. They should also commit to making the recommended diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications for optimal results.
- Health Factors: Certain pre-existing health factors may impact one’s candidacy for cosmetic body surgery. These include conditions like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, bleeding disorders, autoimmune diseases, and smoking. Too much excess weight also increases risks. Patients must get these issues under control via consultation with their primary physicians before surgery.
- Contraindications: Contraindications depend on the procedure but can include uncontrolled diseases, severe psychiatric conditions, substance abuse issues, allergies/sensitivities, and inadequate tissue at surgical sites. Dr. Zach carefully evaluates these issues to determine risk factors versus benefits.
Benefits of Body Contouring
- Aesthetic Changes Many patients seek cosmetic surgery to alter part of their appearance that they are unhappy with. Changes from rhinoplasty, liposuction, or breast augmentation can enhance aesthetic appeal for some individuals.
- Improved Self-Esteem: People may also pursue body surgery to improve their self-esteem. Altering one’s appearance can boost confidence for many patients. However, it is crucial to have realistic expectations about outcomes.
- Enhanced Comfort and Function: Body surgery helps enhance comfort and function. For example, breast reduction can relieve back pain, while liposuction may expand clothing choices. Reconstructive surgeries might also restore form and function after injury, illness, or congenital issues. Our procedures help people feel more comfortable and at ease.
