What Is Body Contouring?
The term "body contouring" is one used in the cosmetic surgery world to describe a series of procedures that can help to create your desired figure. Men who have experienced drastic weight loss, or whose weight has fluctuated over the years, may desire a body contouring procedure at Iteld Plastic Surgery to reduce fat, tighten the skin, and sculpt certain areas of the body. In addition, body contouring can be used for individuals who have found that at their age, diet and exercise are not as effective at shaping their bodies, as well as for men who struggle with issues, like gynecomastia. Dr. Lawrence Iteld performs numerous body contouring options, including abdominoplasty, liposuction, fat grafting, and laser skin tightening procedures. The options for sculpting your new body are endless. Contact our practice in Chicago, IL to schedule your consultation.
How Does Body Contouring Surgery Work?
We understand that every patient's goals and needs are unique, which is why every aesthetic treatment at Iteld Plastic Surgery starts with a thorough consultation and exam. During your initial visit, we'll speak with you about your concerns and get a better idea of the results you're looking for before designing a body contouring treatment plan just for you. This may consist of both nonsurgical and surgical procedures. Surgeries, such as liposuction, abdominoplasty, and breast reduction, typically require the use of narcotics-free anesthesia. The goal during these treatments is to create an incision that can be hidden behind clothing and to minimize unsightly fat and extra skin, leaving a slimmer, tighter contour. Nonsurgical services typically require no sedation. This may include laser liposuction, laser skin tightening, and injectable fillers. Whatever your goals are, we offer a wide selection of effective treatments to help you attain them.

Male Body Contouring FAQ
How much does body contouring surgery cost?
The cost of body contouring surgery will depend on what's included in your treatment plan. During your initial consultation, Dr. Iteld will understand your wants and goals before performing an examination. He can then give you suggestions and create your treatment plan. Once your plan is made, Dr. Iteld can estimate your costs and discuss your payment options. Iteld Plastic Surgery takes several methods, including low-interest medical financing.
Will insurance pay for my body contouring surgery?
Although most elective surgeries are not typically covered by health insurance, it is possible that body contouring could be eligible for insurance coverage. If loose skin is the cause of medical issues, like chronic infections, you might be able to get reimbursement from your health insurance. Coverage varies based on your insurance carrier and policy, but if you would like to use your insurance, tell Dr. Iteld during your consultation. A member of our team at Iteld Plastic Surgery can help you work with your insurance to maximize your coverage.
What will be part of my body contouring surgery?
Your initial consultation with Dr. Iteld will outline the combination of procedures. Your body contouring may be performed in two or more stages based on your overall health and the number of areas being addressed. Typically, the stages will be grouped by combining either the upper body (abdomen, arms, breasts, face, neck) or the lower body (buttocks, thighs, hips, knees). This staging helps minimize the risk of complications, such as blood loss and infection. This also makes your recovery easier to manage.
Will I have scarring after my surgery?
Since incisions are required, body contouring surgery will leave scars. Many patients discover that when the incisions have fully healed, the scarring is no longer a worry since the benefits of this life-changing surgery are so significant. An experienced medical doctor, Dr. Iteld, will make every effort to minimize scarring by carefully making the incisions in less visible areas, like the natural skin folds. Post-surgery care is also critical. Skin creams and ointments may be prescribed to speed the healing process. Over time, the scars will lighten and blend in with your normal skin tone.
How long will my body contouring results last?
With proper care, the surgical results of body contouring can last a long time. The best way to maintain your results is to stay at a healthy, stable weight. Dramatic changes in your weight or pregnancy after your body contouring surgery may affect your results. Your body will continue to age naturally, so you may eventually develop loose skin again after many years. Ask Dr. Iteld about tips that can help you sustain your results.
