Liposuction
For areas of accumulated fat that do not respond to traditional weight loss methods, liposuction offers effective body contouring for our Cleveland and Mayfield Heights patients. Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or liposculpture, is a commonly performed procedure that can eliminate fat from many areas of the body including the chin, neck, upper arms, stomach, hips, "love handles," thighs and buttocks. During liposuction, a slim tube is used to gently break up and suction away fat deposits located several layers beneath the skin. Variations in the technique used for liposuction enable Dr. Leedy to tailor the treatment according to your particular needs and goals, which allows for optimal body contouring results.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Also called an abdominoplasty, the tummy tuck procedure at the Cleveland Institute of Plastic Surgery is designed for patients who are more or less of normal body weight but are bothered by a protruding abdominal region. By removing excess skin and fat and tightening the abdominal muscles, the tummy tuck creates a firmer, more toned stomach. Dr. Leedy also offers a "mini" version of tummy tuck for those who need less invasive abdominal enhancement.

Body Contouring after Weight Loss — The Body Lift
A body lift can complete the transformation started by a weight loss program. As we go through normal weight fluctuations, our skin expands and contracts to accommodate the changes in our bodies. However, when a person gains a significant amount of weight, the skin can be stretched to a point where it no longer retains its natural elasticity. For people who have undergone massive weight loss following bariatric surgery or lifestyle adjustments, this means that several large folds of skin may remain over certain areas of their bodies. In such cases, Dr. Leedy's advanced procedures for body contouring after weight loss at the Cleveland Plastic Surgery Institute can significantly help patients regain an attractive appearance. A body lift produces a smoother, slimmer figure by eliminating excess fat and skin from the center of the body.

Arm Lift
Aging, weight loss, and other factors can cause our skin to lose its natural elasticity, resulting in excess fat and skin in various areas of the body. One of the locations where this most commonly occurs is the upper arms. Dr. Jason Leedy can reduce the appearance of "wobbly arms" by eliminating excess fat and tightening skin in the area.

Thigh Lift
The thighs are one of the most difficult areas of the body to shape through diet and exercise. Age, gravity, and weight fluctuations also prevent the thighs from exhibiting the smooth, sleek look that we desire. If you have excess skin and fat around your thighs, you may be able to benefit from a procedure called a thigh lift.

Post-Bariatric Body Contouring
Significantly overweight individuals can lose a large amount of weight through bariatric surgery or diet and exercise; however, these efforts cannot eliminate the additional skin that remains after substantial weight loss. For this, various cosmetic surgery procedures such as tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, and body lift can be utilized. When performing body contouring after weight loss at the Cleveland Plastic Surgery Institute, Dr. Leedy seeks to address excess skin and fat in order to create a more youthful contour. A graduated approach in which the necessary surgeries are scheduled in staged intervals is often the most effective way to help patients achieve their ideal look while maximizing their safety.
