Remove Excess Fat and Refine Your Silhouette
Body contouring/liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits and reshapes specific areas of your body that haven’t improved with healthy habits alone. Rather than serving as a weight-loss method, it targets localized fat in the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, and under the chin to refine your silhouette. Using precise surgical techniques, your surgeon gently removes fat and contours the underlying tissues, creating smoother, more proportional lines. The result is a more balanced, sculpted appearance.

Best Candidates for Body Contouring/Liposuction
The ideal candidates for body contouring/liposuction are individuals who want to address stubborn fat in specific areas that haven’t improved despite healthy habits. During your detailed consultation, our team evaluates your goals, anatomy, and overall health to determine whether this procedure is the right fit for you.
You may be a good candidate if you have these concerns:
- Localized fat on the abdomen
- Stubborn fat along the waist or flanks
- Fullness in the hips or thighs
- Excess fat on the upper arms
- A heavier or less defined neck and jawline
Liposuction Is Not Meant for Weight Loss
Liposuction is performed to shape and refine your body, not reduce your weight. If you’re considering this procedure, you should already be near your ideal weight and committed to healthy habits. Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise, giving you more balanced contours without dramatic weight changes. Liposuction is a sculpting tool that enhances your figure, not a method for managing your weight.
Key Benefits and Expected Results
By targeting areas that don’t respond to diet or exercise, this procedure offers powerful improvements that help you feel more aligned with your goals, including:
- Removing stubborn fat deposits
- Creating smoother, more sculpted body lines
- Enhancing natural curves and proportions
- Improving the fit and appearance of clothing
- Revealing muscle tone hidden beneath excess fat
- Long-lasting contour changes with stable weight
- Boosting confidence in your overall appearance
Your Complete Body Contouring/Liposuction Experience
1. Consultation
During your consultation, you sit down with your surgeon to discuss the areas that bother you and what results you hope to achieve. You review your health history, lifestyle, and goals, and your surgeon examines the specific regions you want treated. You learn which techniques are best for your needs, what the procedure entails, and what kind of results are realistic. This ensures you feel informed about your options before moving forward.
2. Surgery
During the procedure, you are first placed under anesthesia. Dr. Butz or Dr. Thayer makes small, discreet incisions near the treatment areas and inserts a thin cannula to break up and remove unwanted fat. Using controlled, precise movements, they sculpt the underlying tissue to refine your contours. The fat is suctioned out, and the incisions are closed. You leave surgery with improved definition and a foundation for a more balanced appearance.
3. Recovery
After your procedure, you can expect swelling, bruising, and mild soreness in the treated areas. You may be advised to wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and support your new contours. Most patients return to light activities within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. You’ll notice improvements over the next several months as your tissues settle, helping you enjoy a more sculpted appearance.
Client Reviews
Thank you for helping me feel and look amazing.
“I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Butz and the work he did on my body. I suffered from severe ab separation and hernias after having three children. Dr. Butz put me back together by doing a Tummy Tuck to correct and fix my abdomen…”

I love my results and would definitely recommend Dr. Butz.
“Dr. Butz and his staff are amazing. Someone was always available to answer my questions and talk me through my concerns. I was very nervous to have a mommy makeover (muscle and hernia repair, 360 lipo and tummy tuck) but I am so glad I did!..”

Body Contouring/Liposuction FAQs:
How Long Do the Results Last?
Your results can be long-lasting, as the fat cells removed during liposuction do not grow back. However, maintaining a stable weight is essential. If you gain weight after surgery, remaining fat cells in the area can still enlarge, potentially altering your contours. With a healthy lifestyle, you can maintain your slimmer, sculpted appearance for many years.
Will You Lose Weight From This Procedure?
Body contouring/liposuction is not a weight-loss method. Instead, it targets specific pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise. You may notice a slight drop on the scale, but the goal is to improve definition, not to achieve a dramatic weight change. However, you’ll look more toned and proportionate, even if your weight stays the same.
Do I Need to Be at My Ideal Weight Before Surgery?
You don’t have to be at your absolute goal weight, but you should be close to it. Being near a stable weight ensures more predictable results. If you plan to lose a significant amount of weight, it’s best to do so before surgery to avoid changes in your final contours.
Will There Be Scars?
Any surgical incision leaves a scar, but liposuction scars are very small and strategically placed in less noticeable areas. Over time, they usually fade and become difficult to see.
When Will I See My Final Results?
You’ll notice some improvement right away, but swelling can take several months to resolve fully. Most patients see their final shape take form within three to six months.
