Transform Your Silhouette with Precision Body Surgery
Body covers contouring and reconstructive surgery from the torso to the limbs. It includes the tummy tuck and its revision, liposuction, the mommy makeover, thigh and arm lifts, waist reduction surgery and repair of separated abdominal muscles, along with fat transfer to the buttocks and minimally invasive skin tightening with Renuvion. Treatment for scars, keloids and hypertrophic scars sits here too, as does reconstruction after Mohs skin cancer surgery, which can be performed the same day the cancer is removed. Most of these procedures combine removal of excess skin and fat with tightening of the tissue underneath, and each surgical plan is built around your anatomy and goals at consultation.

Explore tummy tucks, lifts, liposuction, fat transfer, scar repair and skin tightening.
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
A tummy tuck reshapes and contours the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat, tightening the underlying abdominal muscles and repositioning the belly button so the result looks natural. It is commonly chosen after pregnancy, significant weight loss or aging, where loose skin, stretch marks or muscle separation remain. A full abdominoplasty addresses the entire area from the pubic bone to the ribcage, while a mini abdominoplasty uses a smaller incision focused on the lower abdomen for patients with less excess skin and fat. Liposuction is usually included to improve the waistline, and adjuvant techniques such as J-Plasma, Vaser or RF may be added for skin tightening.
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Revision
Revision corrects or improves the result of a previous tummy tuck, and the reasons are usually specific: abdominal fascia that was not tightened enough, excess fat under the skin, dog-ears of protruding skin along the lateral incision, persistent loose skin, a belly button deformity, contour irregularity or asymmetry. It is also chosen after significant weight change, pregnancy or aging has altered the original result. The surgeon may use the original incisions, extend them or create new ones, then repair separated or weakened muscle, remove excess skin and fat, and use liposuction to sculpt the area and clear localized fat deposits.
Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover is not one operation but a combination chosen around what changed after pregnancy and childbirth. It commonly brings together a tummy tuck for loose abdominal skin and weakened muscle, breast augmentation or a lift to restore shape and volume, and liposuction to improve overall body contour; labiaplasty and non-surgical treatments such as Botox or weight loss injections are options as well. The procedures can be performed in a single session or staged over several, depending on your preference and your surgeon's recommendation. Recovery generally involves several weeks of rest and limited physical activity.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from specific areas to improve the body's contour. Through small incisions, a tumescent solution of saline, local anesthetic and epinephrine is injected to numb the area and limit bleeding, then a thin hollow cannula is used to break up and suction out the fat. It can treat the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hips, flanks, back, arms and neck among other areas, and is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia. Results become apparent as swelling subsides over a few weeks, with a compression garment worn to support healing in the meantime.
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift, or thighplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the thighs and tightens the tissue underneath for a more toned and sculpted contour. An inner thigh lift focuses on the inner thigh, addressing chafing and sagging skin, while an outer thigh lift targets loose skin on the sides of the thighs and the buttock area. It is typically performed under general anesthesia, with incisions placed along the inner or outer thigh depending on how much correction is needed and on your anatomy. Results are noticeable immediately and continue to improve as swelling subsides; most patients return to light activities within a few weeks.
BBL – Brazilian Butt Lift (Gluteal Fat Transfer)
A Brazilian butt lift adds volume and improves the shape of the buttocks using the patient's own fat rather than an implant. Liposuction harvests fat from an area with an ample supply, such as the abdomen, waistline, back or thighs, it is processed to remove impurities and excess fluid, and the purified fat is injected in layers through small incisions. Dr. Sahar performs uBBL, ultrasound guided BBL, for every patient: the ultrasound guidance reduces the risk of fat being injected into muscle or large vessels, and he has investigated the safety of gluteal augmentation methods himself. Patients are advised to avoid sitting or lying directly on the buttocks for a few weeks while the transferred fat establishes a blood supply.
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Loose skin on the upper arms is not only a cosmetic concern; when there is enough of it, it gets in the way of daily activities. Brachioplasty removes excess skin and fat through liposuction, surgical resection or both, and tightens the underlying tissue where that is needed. Incisions run along the inner part of the upper arm, with their length and pattern depending on how much correction is required. It is usually performed under general anesthesia, although local anesthesia with sedation is sometimes an option, and arm movement is limited during the initial healing phase. Results show immediately and keep improving as swelling settles and wound healing progresses.
Waist Reduction Surgery
Waist reduction surgery reshapes and redefines the waistline by removing excess fat and, where needed, excess skin. Liposuction through small incisions does most of the sculpting; skin removal is particularly common in post-weight-loss patients, who often have significant laxity, and the abdominal muscles can be tightened to sharpen the definition further. It is typically performed under general anesthesia, with a dressing or compression garment worn afterwards to support healing. Results are noticeable immediately and continue to improve as post-operative swelling subsides, with most patients back to light activities within a few weeks.
Rectus Diastasis Repair
Diastasis recti is a separation of the abdominal muscles, often occurring after pregnancy, that leaves the abdominal wall weakened and the midsection bulging. Repair is performed through an incision along the midline of the abdomen, usually running from just below the breastbone to the pubic area, where the separated muscles are sutured back together to restore proper alignment and tighten the wall. Excess skin and tissue may be removed at the same time where there is significant laxity. Beyond a firmer, flatter midsection, the repair improves core strength and posture, which is why it matters to many patients well beyond how it looks.
Scar Revision
Scar revision improves the appearance of a scar left by surgery, injury, burns, acne or another skin condition, and the technique is matched to the scar itself. Options include excising the scar tissue and closing with precise sutures for a thinner line, Z-plasty or W-plasty to alter the direction and tension of the scar, laser therapy to reduce redness and smooth texture, steroid injections to flatten a raised scar, dermal fillers to raise a depressed or atrophic one, and microneedling to stimulate collagen production. Recovery ranges from minimal downtime for the non-surgical treatments to several weeks for a surgical revision.
Keloids
Keloids are raised, firm, rubbery overgrowths of scar tissue that extend beyond the boundaries of the original wound, which is what sets them apart from other raised scars. They form through an overproduction of collagen during healing, often run in families, are more common in people with darker skin types, and can be triggered by any skin injury including surgical incisions, burns, acne scars and piercings. Treatment options include steroid injections, surgical removal, laser therapy, silicone gel or sheets, cryotherapy, pressure dressings, interferon therapy, and in some cases radiation after removal to prevent recurrence. Keloids are not harmful, but they can cause discomfort and are often a real cosmetic concern.
Hypertrophic Scar
A hypertrophic scar is raised, thick, firm and usually red or pink, but unlike a keloid it stays within the boundaries of the original injury. It results from an overproduction of collagen during the skin's healing process, and commonly follows surgical incisions, accidental injuries such as burns, cuts or abrasions, and in some cases acne lesions. Treatment options include silicone gel or sheets, steroid injections, pressure dressings, laser therapy and surgical revision, depending on the individual case. Proper wound care early on, keeping the wound clean, moisturized and protected from excessive sun exposure, also helps reduce the risk of one forming.
Renuvion/J-Plasma Skin Tightening
Renuvion, formerly known as J-Plasma, is a minimally invasive skin tightening treatment that uses helium and a gentle stream of radiofrequency energy to create cold plasma, contracting the collagen-rich connective tissue beneath the skin. Rather than focusing energy on the thin surface layer, it treats the layers underneath that matter more for body contour, producing a three-dimensional shrinkwrap effect that can stand alone or be added to liposuction. Because it acts selectively on skin and connective tissue, it suits someone with moderate laxity and little fat who wants to avoid a more invasive operation. Most patients need only one treatment, results appear within a few weeks and may keep improving for up to a year.
Immediate Reconstruction After Moh's Surgery
Immediate reconstruction repairs the wound left by Mohs skin cancer removal on the same day the cancer is taken out, rather than leaving it open for several days or a week, which is what makes it immediate rather than delayed. The Mohs surgeon's office and the plastic surgeon's office coordinate a date when both are available; the Mohs surgeon removes the cancer, and the patient is sent the same day, often with a protective dressing, to the plastic surgeon for reconstruction and closure. Depending on complexity, this may involve local tissue rearrangement, a skin graft, or regional or free flaps where larger sections of tissue are transferred. Stitches generally come out within the first week, and both immediate and delayed reconstruction are offered.
