Overview

When diet and exercise aren’t enough to achieve the look you want, body contouring offers personalized surgical options to help sculpt your figure. Whether you’re considering breast augmentation, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), or liposuction, you’ll find that each procedure can be tailored to your unique goals and anatomy. At Enhance® Medical Center in Beverly Hills, Charles S. Lee, MD, delivers expert surgical care to help you feel confident in your skin.
What Is Body Contouring?
Body contouring refers to a group of surgical procedures that reshape and enhance different areas of your body. You can target specific trouble spots or undergo a more comprehensive transformation. Popular procedures include breast augmentation, BBL, and liposuction. You may be a good candidate if you’re in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and want to refine your body’s shape after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.
The benefits go beyond aesthetics. Many patients report better posture, improved confidence, and an overall boost in well-being. However, some misconceptions remain—these surgeries are not a substitute for weight loss, nor are they one-size-fits-all. Each treatment plan is completely individualized.

Breast Augmentation: Enhancing Breast Shape & Size
Breast augmentation can add volume, improve symmetry, and restore fullness lost due to aging or pregnancy. You can choose between implants—saline or silicone—or opt for fat transfer for a more natural look. Selecting the right size and shape is key, and your surgeon will guide you through options that suit your proportions.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): Achieving Fuller, Natural-Looking Curves
The BBL enhances your buttocks using your body’s own fat, which is harvested via liposuction. Compared to implants, BBL offers a more natural appearance with lower rejection risk.
You’ll need sufficient fat in areas like the abdomen or thighs, and your BMI should fall within a safe range. The procedure includes fat removal, purification, and reinjection into the buttocks. After surgery, avoid sitting or sleeping on your back for several weeks. Compression garments and careful aftercare help optimize fat survival, with results lasting for years if you maintain a stable weight.
Liposuction: Removing Stubborn Fat for a Sculpted Body
Liposuction permanently removes unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and chin. Techniques vary—tumescent, VASER, or laser-assisted liposuction can all enhance precision and recovery.
Unlike a tummy tuck, which removes skin and tightens muscles, liposuction only targets fat. It’s ideal for those near their goal weight but struggling with localized fat. After surgery, you’ll experience swelling and bruising for a few weeks, with visible results becoming more defined over time.
Combining Procedures for Total Transformation
You may be wondering if it’s possible to combine treatments. Many patients choose to undergo breast augmentation and a BBL in one session. This not only saves time but also produces a more balanced silhouette.
Long-Lasting Results & Realistic Expectations
Your body contouring results can last for years with proper care. However, weight fluctuations, aging, and lifestyle choices can affect longevity. Scarring is typically minimal and placed in inconspicuous areas, with scar treatments available if needed.
