Body Procedures in Chevy Chase, MD
Let Your Body Reflect Your Most Authentic Self
Life leaves its mark on the body in ways that often have nothing to do with effort or discipline. Pregnancy reshapes things that used to sit differently. Significant weight loss can leave behind skin that no longer fits the frame beneath it. Time itself softens and shifts things gradually. Our Chevy Chase office offers a full menu of body procedures designed to help close the gap between how you look and how you actually feel inside.
Our Body Procedures
Arm Lift
Arm Lift
An arm lift tightens loose skin and removes excess fat along the upper arms, correcting the drooping "bat-wing" appearance many patients want to address.
Brazilian Butt Lift
Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian Butt Lift transfers your own fat to the buttocks, building volume and shape for a fuller, more sculpted rear silhouette.
Liposuction
Liposuction
Liposuction precisely removes localized fat that's resistant to diet and exercise, refining and sculpting your natural shape.
Mommy Makeover
Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover bundles several procedures, commonly a tummy tuck, breast surgery, and liposuction, into one coordinated plan addressing the effects of pregnancy.
Thigh Lift
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift eliminates excess skin and fat along the thighs, refining and smoothing the contour of the lower body.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck tightens separated abdominal muscles and removes excess skin, resulting in a firmer, flatter midsection.
Waist Contouring
Waist Contouring
Scarless waist contouring in Chevy Chase, MD reshapes the lower ribcage without a single incision, using an ultrasound-guided technique called RibXcar (also known as rib remodeling or waist narrowing).

Are You a Candidate for Body Contouring?
Candidacy really comes down to what's bothering you and whether you're at a stable point to safely address it surgically. You may be a good candidate if:
- You have areas of loose skin or stubborn fat that haven't responded to lifestyle changes
- Pregnancy, major weight loss, or aging has changed your shape in ways you'd like to address
- Your weight has been stable for some time, rather than actively fluctuating
- You understand what a given procedure can realistically achieve for your body
Our Chevy Chase team will evaluate your specific goals and anatomy during a consultation to recommend the procedure, or combination of procedures, best suited to you.

Body Procedures Frequently Asked Questions
I'm interested in more than one procedure. Does combining them extend my recovery significantly?
Not necessarily. Many combination procedures, like a mommy makeover, are designed to be performed together specifically so you go through one recovery period rather than several separate ones.
Is there a "best" order to do these procedures in if I want more than one over time?
This depends on your specific goals and timeline. Some patients prefer combining procedures in one surgery, while others space them out; your provider can help you plan the sequence that makes sense for you.
Will these procedures address loose skin as well as fat, or just one or the other?
It depends on the specific procedure. Some, like a tummy tuck or arm lift, primarily address skin laxity, while liposuction targets fat specifically. Many patients need a combination to address both.
How firm does my weight need to be before considering surgery?
Providers generally recommend having a stable weight for several months prior to surgery, since ongoing fluctuations can affect both your results and healing.
Can body contouring help with loose skin after major weight loss from medication like Semaglutide?
Yes, this is an increasingly common reason patients seek body contouring, since medical weight loss can leave behind loose skin that surgery is well-suited to address.
Do these procedures typically require an overnight hospital stay?
Most are performed on an outpatient basis, though more extensive procedures or combinations may occasionally warrant an overnight stay. Your provider will discuss this based on your specific plan.
