Eliminate Excess Skin & Fat with Body Contouring

A Modern Study in Shape

Looking and feeling great are essential components of a person’s self-esteem; however, oftentimes diet and exercise aid one’s health, but are insufficient in shaping the body to one’s desired form. Where physiology ends, cosmetic body-contouring procedures can begin a physical transformation. Everyone has a different idea of what their best self looks like. For some, it means restoring a shape that has changed over time. For others, it means addressing areas that do not seem to respond to a healthy lifestyle or hours spent at the gym. We approach body contouring as a way to bring your frame into balance, focusing on results that look effortless and fit your specific anatomy.

Our Paramus office is a space where you can discuss these goals without pressure. We take the time to look at the whole picture, ensuring that any path we choose together feels right for your life and your expectations.

The Art of the Silhouette

What Is Body Contouring?

Body contouring is a personalized roadmap to a more defined shape. It isn't a one-size-fits-all solution; rather, it is a suite of options that address excess skin, stubborn fat, or a loss of muscle tone. From lifts along the arms and thighs to core revisions via tummy tucks and mommy makeovers, we provide the tools to choose a path that fits your comfort level and schedule.

What Is the Body Contouring Procedure Like?

Precision in Practice

Dr. Gary Breslow performs three primary body-contouring surgical procedures designed to eliminate excess fat and troublesome, loose skin: the body lift, liposuction (lipoplasty), and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). A body lift procedure consists of a combination of unwanted fat and skin removal of desired areas of the body; liposuction is the mechanical suction of fat removal from stubborn areas of the body; and a tummy tuck focuses on the midsection, where excess fat and skin are removed. Our focus throughout the day is your safety and ensuring you feel at ease every step of the way.

What Conditions Does Body Contouring Address?

We often help patients manage the physical changes that exercise alone cannot fix. This includes addressing skin that has lost its bounce after weight loss, stubborn areas that retain fat despite diet and fitness efforts, and the separation of the abdominal muscles after pregnancy. We aim to restore smoother contours, improve core support, and create balanced, natural-looking proportions.

Focusing on Your Profile

What Areas Can Body Contouring Address?

These treatments can be applied almost anywhere you desire more definition. We frequently focus on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, and back to create a smoother, more sculpted appearance.

What Are the Benefits of Body Contouring?

Poise in Every Movement

Body contouring can transform everything from how you feel in your clothes to the way you move through life. Removing the physical weight of excess skin or the frustration of stubborn trouble spots helps patients find a new sense of freedom.

Beyond the physical change, there is a mental ease that comes with knowing your outward appearance matches your internal vitality. We focus on results that look like they belong to you, avoiding an "operated on" look in favor of a refreshed, healthy version of your natural self.

Am I a Candidate for Body Contouring?

Assessing Your Aesthetic Needs

There are various reasons a person may opt for body contouring surgery. Often, patients who have lost significant weight are interested in undergoing a body lift to eliminate excess skin folds that developed during their heaviest period. Fat becomes misplaced due to loose skin. Liposuction is not intended to treat obesity or poor dietary habits, but rather to remove fat from areas of the body that have been resilient against a nutritious diet and the recommended amount of exercise.

Often, people who are overweight due to stubborn fat pockets opt to receive this procedure to complement their positive lifestyle changes. Suitable candidates for body contouring procedures are healthy individuals seeking to smooth specific body contours. The tummy tuck is popular among women who have given birth to redefine their midsections. Not only are excess fat and skin removed and trimmed away, but the muscles can be tightened as well, which is essential to maintain long-term results.

Trying to look good can be frustrating when you exercise and diet, and yet you cannot seem to eliminate fat and tone certain areas of your body. This is where body contouring surgery could possibly help you. Dr. Gary Breslow offers several plastic surgery procedures in Paramus to eliminate excess fat and troublesome loose skin, including body lifts, liposuction, and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).

The Healing Phase, Refined

Body Contouring Recovery

For surgical paths, we provide a detailed aftercare plan to manage comfort and support healing. Most surgical patients are back to light activity within a week or two, and our team checks in frequently to ensure everything is progressing as expected.

Body Contouring Results

The Future of Your Reflection

You will notice a change in your silhouette as soon as any initial swelling subsides. Surgical results offer a significant shift in your proportions that can last for many years, provided you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Non-surgical results typically build over several weeks as your body responds to the treatment.

The end result is a version of you that feels lighter and more balanced. Whether you are at the gym or a formal event, your clothes will fit with a new level of ease, and your profile will reflect the care you put into yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

This choice usually comes down to the amount of skin laxity present. If you have significant loose skin, surgery is often the most effective path. If your goal is strictly fat reduction or muscle toning, our non-surgical options may be the perfect fit.

Many patients choose to address multiple areas at once to streamline their time. This is common in a "Mommy Makeover," where we might pair an abdominoplasty with breast surgery for a total restoration.

Dr. Breslow uses precise techniques to ensure any marks are placed in discreet locations, often hidden by swimwear or undergarments. Over time, these marks fade and become a faint part of your story.

Surgical fat removal via liposuction is permanent in the sense that those cells are gone. However, maintaining a steady weight is important to keep your new silhouette in its best shape.

Most patients return to light walking almost immediately. More intense exercise can usually be resumed around the six-week mark to ensure your body has fully healed.
