Body Plastic Surgery

Body plastic surgery is a collection of different surgical procedures designed to contour, lift, and sculpt the body. These procedures can be performed on various parts of the body, including the abdomen, arms, thighs, back, buttocks, and more. Patients often opt for body plastic surgery to enhance their aesthetic appearance or correct physical changes caused by aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations.

Dr. Anna Wooten, F.A.C.S., is a board-certified plastic surgeon and the founder of Beleza Plastic Surgery. She is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the only plastic surgical society recognized by the federal government. She has helped thousands of patients from Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, and beyond achieve their aesthetic goals with body plastic surgery.

About Body Plastic Surgery

Dr. Wooten offers a wide range of body plastic surgery procedures to refine your figure. Each procedure is designed and performed with precision to achieve symmetrical, proportionate, and natural-looking results that enhance your inner beauty. Her collection of treatments can help you target several areas of the body, restoring both your contours and confidence.

Body Plastic Surgery Procedures

AlloClae Fat Grafting

AlloClae is an advanced rejuvenation treatment that uses purified donor fat to enhance natural contours. Ideal for body contouring, it offers a natural alternative for patients who lack sufficient fat for traditional transfer or prefer to avoid synthetic fillers and implants.

Arm Lift

An arm lift, also known as a brachioplasty, removes excess skin and fat in the upper arms. This procedure can help you achieve smoother, more slender arms. It is typically sought after by patients who have recently undergone significant weight loss or have the appearance of ‘bat wings’ along the underside of the arms.

Bra Line Lift

A bra line lift can be performed if you experience rolls or bulges of fat along the back of your upper torso. Dr. Wooten removes excess skin with surgery. At Beleza, liposuction or CoolSculpting can be performed to slim and further sculpt the area. Liposuction removes stubborn fat from the area with power-assisted suction during surgery, while CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells to break them down so that the body can naturally eliminate them, leaving you with a more defined silhouette. ⁽¹⁾

Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a procedure that transfers fat from other areas of the body to the buttocks to improve shape and volume. Dr. Wooten uses liposuction to remove fat from areas such as the inner and outer thighs, flanks, or abdomen before redistributing it to the buttocks. Once liposuctioned, Dr. Wooten processes the harvested fat and reinjects it. This is all done in a safe and controlled manner at an accredited surgery center, under general anesthesia.

Fat Transfer to the Hands

Dr. Wooten can perform fat transfer to the hands to rejuvenate their appearance. Over time, the skin on your hands becomes thinner, and they appear bonier. A fat transfer to the hands can revitalize their appearance so that you can feel more confident. As men and women age, many maintain the appearance of the face & neck, but the backs of the hands go unnoticed and, over time, they can be a giveaway of our true age. Fat transfer to the backs of the hands can preserve a youthful appearance.

Fleur-De-Lis Tummy Tuck

A fleur-de-lis tummy tuck, also known as a vertical abdominoplasty, is a specific type of tummy tuck that is often performed on massive weight loss patients or those who require more extensive body contouring. This procedure utilizes two different incision placements—a horizontal incision across the lower abdomen and a vertical incision that runs from the bottom of the breastbone down to the pubic area—to tighten the abdominal muscles and remove excess skin, leaving you with a flatter abdomen.

Labiaplasty

Elongated or enlarged labia can lead to daily discomfort, insecurity, and other concerns. ⁽²⁾ A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to improve the appearance and comfort of the labia, or vaginal lips.

Lipoabdominoplasty

Lipoabdominoplasty is a procedure designed to help eliminate stubborn areas of fat from around the waist, excise excess skin, and repair diastasis recti (an abdominal hernia that follows pregnancy). This procedure combines the techniques of liposuction and abdominoplasty to tighten your muscles, remove fat, and eliminate excess tissue to help you achieve a more defined midsection and enhance your natural figure. Lipoabdominoplasty is often performed on patients who have experienced significant weight loss, prior abdominal surgeries, or changes in body shape following pregnancy, and who wish to restore a firmer, smoother, and more contoured abdomen.

Liposuction

Liposuction, also known as suction-assisted lipectomy, is a surgical procedure that uses a thin tube called a cannula to help remove deposits of fat from various areas of the body that are resistant to dieting or exercise. During this procedure, Dr. Wooten will make a small incision near the treatment area and insert the small cannula and suction out the fat. Liposuction is not a weight-loss treatment; rather, it is a sculpting technique to help shape the body for those who are living a healthy lifestyle and who are at or near their ‘goal’ weight.

Lower Body Lift

A lower body lift, or belt lipectomy, eliminates excess skin from your lower torso and waist. This treatment helps enhance your abdomen, thighs, and buttocks while preserving the positioning and appearance of your navel. This procedure takes several hours to perform and results in tighter, smoother skin. Lower body lift surgery is most common for men and women who have experienced massive weight loss, and can also be combined with abdominal muscle repair if needed.

Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover is a combination of different procedures designed to help you address different concerns that may arise after pregnancy. Dr. Wooten can combine several procedures to help you achieve your goals, often including procedures like liposuction, tummy tuck, fat transfer, breast augmentation, or breast lift. Mommy makeovers are highly customizable in order to help address problem areas.

Thighplasty

A thighplasty, also known as a thigh lift, is designed to improve the contour of the thighs. Dr. Wooten will remove excess skin and fat from the inner thighs to create a more slender, elegant look. Patients often experience stubborn fat and loose skin in the thigh region after weight loss, aging, or simply due to genetic or other factors. Contouring this area can relieve chafing and irritation in this area previously caused by excess tissue rubbing together.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, enhances the appearance of your abdomen. Unlike the fleur-de-lis tummy tuck, the traditional tummy tuck only utilizes a single incision along the lower abdomen. ⁽³⁾ Dr. Wooten can perform this procedure to repair separated abdominal muscles and remove excess skin. Dr. Wooten is a popular choice for patients seeking tummy tucks because she does a beautiful job of incision placement. She ensures that the surgical incision is placed low on the abdomen, so that it is easily concealed by bikini bottoms or panties.

Candidates

Suitable candidates for body plastic surgery include anyone interested in enhancing their figure.

All candidates interested in body plastic surgery should be in good general health and maintain realistic expectations. Patients should also be nonsmokers or willing to quit smoking at least six weeks in advance of surgery. Beleza routinely tests patients for nicotine exposure before certain surgeries. Dr. Wooten and the Beleza Plastic Surgery team will determine each patient’s candidacy during their consultation.

Personal Consultation

Before undergoing body plastic surgery, you will need to attend a personal consultation at Beleza Plastic Surgery. During the consultation, you will meet with Dr. Wooten one-on-one; she will explain what procedures are available, as well as discuss your medical history, concerns, and treatment goals. She will also evaluate your concerns to craft your treatment plan.

Recovery

Each patient’s recovery will vary depending on the type of procedure performed, as well as the extent of the corrections.

During your recovery, you will need to take time away from your job and other commitments to focus on healing. It is normal to experience effects such as swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the treated area. These effects typically subside on their own, but may also be managed using medications under the direction of Dr. Wooten. Depending on your procedure, you may also receive a compression garment to wear as you recover. This garment is designed to help minimize swelling and help your body settle into its new contours.

Most patients can return to work after about two weeks, but they need to continue avoiding physical activities or strenuous tasks until Dr. Wooten approves.

Results

Once any residual swelling has subsided, you will be able to see the results of your body plastic surgery. You will be able to enjoy more defined contours and tighter, smoother skin with improved proportions that contribute to a more youthful-looking appearance.

The results of your body plastic surgery procedure are designed to be long-lasting, but you must make sure to continue practicing healthy lifestyle habits, as fluctuations in weight can alter the effects of your treatment.

Cost of Body Plastic Surgery in Pittsburgh

The cost of your body plastic surgery can vary, as each treatment plan is designed around your concerns, goals, and anatomy.
