Body Contouring & Sculpting Procedures in Seattle

Body contouring procedures are designed to reshape areas of the body that no longer respond to diet and exercise. Whether caused by pregnancy, weight loss, aging, or genetics, loose skin and stubborn fat deposits can prevent you from achieving the shape you want.

At Dr. Won Cosmetic Surgery in Seattle, body sculpting procedures focus on restoring smoother contours, firmer skin, and balanced proportions through personalized surgical planning. These treatments are not about weight loss. They are about refinement, definition, and helping you feel more comfortable in your body.

Visit our before and after gallery to see what’s possible with the comprehensive range of body contouring procedures we offer that include:

• Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty), Fleur de Lis Abdominoplasty, and Panniculectomy
• Liposuction
• Buttocks Enhancement with Fat Transfer
• Full Body Lift and Posterior Body Lift
• Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
• Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles. This creates a flatter, firmer midsection and restores core support that may have been affected by pregnancy, weight changes, or aging.

Common causes of abdominal laxity include:

• Pregnancy
• Weight fluctuations
• Genetics
• Aging

The incision is placed low across the abdomen where it is easily concealed beneath underwear or swimwear. Excess skin is removed, muscles are repaired, and remaining skin is repositioned for a smoother contour. A compression garment is worn during healing to support recovery and improve results.

Fleur de Lis Abdominoplasty

For patients with significant skin excess across both the lower and upper abdomen—often after major weight loss—a Fleur de Lis tummy tuck may be recommended.

This technique includes both a horizontal incision and a vertical incision along the midline of the abdomen. While this creates additional scarring, it allows for removal of large amounts of loose skin and reveals the slimmer abdominal contour underneath.

Recovery is similar to a traditional tummy tuck, and this approach is often life-changing for patients after weight loss.

Panniculectomy

A panniculectomy removes the hanging “apron” of excess skin and tissue known as a pannus. This condition can cause hygiene issues, skin irritation, infections, and difficulty with daily activities.

Unlike a tummy tuck, this procedure does not tighten abdominal muscles or reposition the belly button. It focuses solely on removing excess tissue to improve comfort, mobility, and quality of life. In some cases, this procedure may be partially covered by insurance.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss procedure but a contouring tool used to shape areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, back, chest, and buttocks.

Liposuction is often combined with other body contouring procedures to enhance overall results. When skin elasticity is good, the skin naturally conforms to the new shape. If skin laxity is present, additional lifting procedures may be recommended.

Buttocks Enhancement with Fat Transfer

This procedure uses liposuction to remove fat from areas such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs and transfers it to the buttocks to create more volume, shape, and balance.

Because your own fat is used, results look and feel natural. This treatment is ideal for patients who want improved contour without implants. If skin laxity is present, a posterior lift may be combined for optimal results.

Body Lift & Posterior Body Lift

Body lift procedures address loose, sagging skin around the abdomen, lower back, buttocks, and thighs, often following major weight loss. Incisions are placed strategically to remove excess tissue and tighten remaining skin for a smoother, more youthful contour.

A posterior body lift focuses specifically on the hips, buttocks, and lower back to restore shape after significant weight changes.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

An arm lift removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms that cannot be improved with exercise. Incisions are placed along the inner or back of the arm for minimal visibility.

Liposuction may be used in combination for improved contour.

Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)

A thigh lift tightens loose skin of the inner thighs, often caused by aging or weight loss. Liposuction is commonly used in combination to improve contour and create smoother, more toned-looking thighs.

Gynecomastia surgery (for men with excess breast tissue)

Gynecomastia surgery removes excess breast tissue in men to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour. Depending on severity, treatment may involve liposuction alone or removal of excess tissue and skin with repositioning of the nipples.
