What is body contouring?

Individuals who are in the process of losing weight, who have completed a pregnancy, or who are experiencing wrinkles and sagging skin due to aging may find themselves less confident as the skin loses its elasticity. Body contouring is a solution that can address certain problem areas by surgically trimming excess skin, tightening underlying tissues and removing pockets of fat. The physical change can be dramatic and life changing for many (especially for weight loss patients). Advances in medical technology and training allow Las Vegas, NV board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Khorsandi  to have the ability to produce outstanding aesthetic results, which include a more toned and smooth appearance.

Who is a Candidate for Body Contouring?

Body contouring could be ideal for you if you have:

  • Sagging skin
  • Deflated body parts (like the buttocks or breasts)
  • Stubborn fat that is not responsive to diet and exercise
  • The desire to contour the abdomen, lower back, hips, flanks, and neck
  • A healthy current weight

Dr. Korsandi is a wonderful plastic surgeon.  This review is a bit late, but I had an issue that he was unable to address.  After talking to me for a while and discussing limited options, he asked what I thought about flying to FL.  I said, why not?   So, with me in the office, he called an associate in FL and made arrangements for me.  I really appreciate all the time he spent with me.  The office is beautiful and he is my dream boat!!!  I may go in to see him again soon.  Happy New Year!

I’d like to express my gratitude to Dr. Christopher Khorsandi - Las Vegas Plastic Surgeon He has given me a sense of self that I can love and appreciate. Everyone has their vices and for one reason or another I wasn’t quite happy w/ how I look. Between my business ventures, family, friends, and helping the community I just didn’t have the time nor the patience to work on my physical self. I feel like a whole new person! There’s a reason why services like this exists- it is to make you feel better about yourself. No matter who looks at you or who may be judging you... or who likes you or who dislikes you.. the only person that matters is you! I am so happy that I decided to go through w/ this and I highly recommend looking at yourself and asking yourself who you are doing this for before asking for a consultation.

I am almost 2 years post-surgery for migraine relief. I had a occipital nerve release done to help me with 18 years of severe migraines following a bad car accident. After suffering almost every day with being bed-ridden, on oxygen, morphine, antinausea, migraine and various other medications and medical procedures... I am now MIGRAINE FREE!!! It's been a whole new life since the surgery. No more medications. No more severe pain. Dr Khorsandi's medical and surgical expertise has truly helped me after I thought there was going to be no change to my life. I would highly recommend him to other migraine sufferers! =)

Best plastic surgeon I have ever met by far! After my first consultation I knew I wasn’t looking any further. He had the confidence, the proven results (before and after pictures) as well as an amazing staff and team. I will continue to see Dr. Khorsandi for all my beauty needs! Oh....FYI, the esthetician here is very knowledgeable and friendly.  One of my favorite things about Vip Plastic Surgery is that they also sell amazing beauty supplies and skin care and they always have the best recommendations. When you go to a plastic surgeon you want to walk out saying "wow! He’s knowledgeable and I trust them".  This is that office. If you give VIP Plastic surgery a chance, you’ll never regret it!

Restylane for Nasolabial - I was so nervous about filler in my nasolabial . Previous to Dr Khorsandi from VIP Plastic surgery in Las Vegas , I had a nurse practitioner inject and because she did not use the correct product and because she went too superficial I had unevenness and was very distressed about it. I interviewed several other providers to try and see how to correct and each provider , ( several other plastic surgeons, cosmetic family doctor , nurses with years of experience ) had several different opinions. One recommended surgery!NO ONE EXCEPT DR KHORSANDI KNEW HOW TO FIX IT! Not only did he solve my problem, and explain how and why, he used a dental block and there was no pain. The problemWas I was unevenly filled and Dr K has to inject more filler deep into the bone to even out the nasolabial. I laughingly named Dr K - “magic hands” I won’t ever go to anyone else for my skin or face. I am extremely happy and highly recommend him. When I asked him about other potential filler in my face he quickly said “ you don’t need it.” I appreciate his honestly , skill, professionalism. Best injector ever. His staff was also amazing and knowledgeable . His medical assistant Melanie was amazing and made me feel very comfortable. 5 Stars!

How is Body Contouring Performed?

The process of body contouring is specifically designed to help patients reshape, tighten and firm up problem areas of the body where loose and sagging skin is present. Common areas addressed are the neck, arms, breasts, abdomen, hips, flanks, thighs, buttocks, and knees. It is likely that the doctor will consider a number of procedures to be combined into one surgery (where necessary). This typically involves the upper body parts or lower body parts that are staged together to minimize the risk of infection and shorten the recovery time.

What Can I Expect During/After Body Contouring Surgery?

During surgery, the surgeon will trim away and remove excess skin and the underlying tissues will be tightened. Liposuction is often a part of this process. All procedures are performed under general anesthesia. The duration of the surgery and the length of the hospital stay will depend on how many procedures were combined in a single operative setting. Recovery from this surgery is slow and challenging, but the improvements that are visible create a significant boost of self-confidence for the majority of patients.

What procedures can be combined for body contouring?
Procedures are combined and scheduled in stages depending on the overall physical health of the patient and the body areas that need to be addressed. Typically, the grouping will be staged with a combination of either the upper body parts (abdomen, breasts, arms, neck, face), or lower body parts (buttocks, thighs, flanks, knees). This staging helps reduce the risk of complications, such as blood loss and infection, since the surgery is limited to an area. This also shortens the length of time for recovery. The combination of procedures will be outlined during the initial consultation with the surgeon.
Who is a good candidate for body contouring?
Individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight will need to be at or near their goal weight in order to proceed with a body contouring procedure. In addition, body contouring should also be reserved for those who have already had children and are not planning to become pregnant in the future. This is a recommendation only because it preserves the toned appearance created through surgery without compromising the surgical outcome.
Should I receive body contouring or a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover is a procedure that is in the same context as body contouring. It is a coined term for a group of body contouring procedures that address areas of the body specifically affected by pregnancy. These are the areas around the breasts, abdomen, hips, and buttocks. Again, this is only a general term for body contouring reserved for those who have completed one or more pregnancies.
Will there be a lot of scarring after body contouring?
In general, body contouring procedures will result in scarring. Most patients report that once the incisions heal, the scarring is no longer a primary worry as the benefits of this life-changing surgery are so significant. An experienced plastic surgeon will make every effort to minimize the scars by carefully placing the incisions inconspicuously. Post-surgery care is also very important. Topical creams may be prescribed to help in the healing process. Over time, the scars will lighten and blend in with the patient’s natural skin tone.

How Much Does Body Contouring Cost?

The price for body contouring varies, and it depends on how many procedures are being performed together. Factors, such as the length of hospital stay, will increase the cost. During the initial consultation at VIP Plastic Surgery, a customized surgical plan will be provided with the overall cost expectations outlined. This includes recommended treatments that meet the patient’s aesthetic goals. Virtual consultations are $100 and in-person consults $300 the consult fee goes towards the procedure they are non-refundable.
