What Is Body Contouring?
Body contouring describes a selection of surgeries used to reshape the body to create a more toned, curvaceous physique. Patients who have struggled with weight loss over the years may be interested in a body contouring procedure at Maglic Plastic Surgery to remove fat, sculpt the body, and tighten the skin. As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Dino Maglic provides a range of body contouring options, from body lifts, belt lipectomy, and flankplasty to fat transfers and laser treatments that tighten the skin. The options for redefining and rejuvenating your physique are nearly endless. Contact our practice in Draper, UT to schedule your body contouring consultation.
What Can I Expect During Body Contouring Surgery?
During your initial visit, Dr. Maglic will learn more about the results you're hoping to achieve before building an aesthetic treatment plan for you. Your body contouring plan may include a body lift to remove fat and sagging skin, belt lipectomy to excise loose skin around the waistline, or flankplasty to reshape the hips, sides, and lower back. We also perform gastric bypass surgery to shrink the size of the stomach and help with fullness. During each surgery, Dr. Maglic makes a point to create small incisions that can easily be concealed to limit any visible scarring. The goal is to help you remove unwanted fat and achieve a tighter, slimmer silhouette that you'll be excited to show off.

Am I A Candidate for Body Contouring?
You may be an ideal candidate for body contouring if you have sagging skin, deflated body parts (like the breasts or buttocks), or fat in areas that are hard to lose. The hips, flanks, neck, abdomen, and lower back, for example, can each collect fat, creating unsightly bulges. Good candidates for body contouring are Draper, UT individuals who are at a healthy, ideal weight and desire a firmer, more defined shape.
Our Featured Work
How much does body contouring surgery cost?
Your cost for surgical body contouring will depend on what part of your personalized treatment plan you choose. In your consultation, Dr. Maglic will listen to your goals before performing an examination. He can then give you suggestions and create your treatment plan. Once your plan is made, Dr. Maglic can estimate costs and explain your payment options. Maglic Plastic Surgery takes several payment types, including low-interest medical financing, which we can help you find.
Will insurance pay for my body contouring surgery?
While most elective surgeries aren't usually covered by health insurance, it is possible that body contouring may be paid in part by your insurance. If excess skin is the cause of medical problems, like reoccurring infections, you might be able to apply for reimbursement from your insurance. It will depend on your insurance carrier and individual policy, but if you want to submit an insurance claim, please let Dr. Maglic during your consultation. A team member at Maglic Plastic Surgery will help you talk to your insurance to maximize your coverage.
What will be part of my body contouring surgery?
The combination of procedures will be decided during your initial consultation with Dr. Maglic. Your body contouring may be performed in stages depending on your overall health and how many areas are being treated. Generally, the grouping will be staged with a combination of either the upper body parts (breasts, arms, stomach, neck, face) or the lower body (thighs, butt, flanks, knees). This staging reduces the risk of complications, like infection and blood loss. This also makes your recovery easier and faster.
Will I have scarring after my surgery?
In general, body contouring surgery will result in scars. Many patients discover that once the incisions heal, the scarring is no longer a worry since the results are so impressive. Dr. Maglic will make every effort to minimize the appearance of scars by making the incisions inconspicuously. Proper care after surgery is also very important. Skin creams and ointments may be recommended to speed the healing process. Over time, your scars will lighten and blend into your normal skin tone.
How long will my body contouring results last?
If you take good care of yourself, the results of your body contouring surgery will last a long time. To help maintain your results, you should maintain a healthy, stable weight. Dramatic changes in your weight or pregnancy after your body contouring surgery can impact your results. Natural aging will continue, so you will eventually see loose skin develop after many years. Ask Dr. Maglic about recommendations that may help you sustain your results.
