Body Contouring - Liposuction and Abdominoplasty/Tummy Tuck in Pittsburgh, PA
The following page features brief descriptions of our body contouring procedures, including abdominoplasty / tummy tuck and liposuction. Dr. Raymond Capone, our Pittsburgh plastic surgeon, can help you determine which procedure or body sculpting technique will help you achieve your goals. If you would like to see before and after body contouring photos, please visit our gallery.
Liposuction
We offer liposuction at our Pittsburgh practice for men and women of normal weight who have localized contour irregularities of fat. These fat deposits cause some areas of the body to appear out of proportion, including the hips, thighs, waist, and buttocks. In many cases, diet and exercise alone are not sufficient to reshape these areas of the body and liposuction is the best solution. With liposuction, performed at our Pittsburgh surgi-center, we can create a more pleasing body shape by permanently eliminating localized areas of fat through body contouring. Our plastic surgeon, Dr. Raymond Capone, can also use liposuction in combination with facelift surgery to eliminate fat beneath the chin and further sculpt the face.

Abdominoplasty / Tummy Tuck
Abdominoplasty, otherwise known as a "tummy tuck," can be a viable body contouring solution for our Pittsburgh area patients who have loose skin and excess abdominal fat in the stomach region. Candidates for tummy tuck surgery include women who have given birth, as well as individuals whose skin has become stretched following significant weight loss. During abdominoplasty / tummy tuck surgery, Dr. Capone trims away loose skin from the abdomen and lifts the remaining skin for a tighter, slimmer look. He may also incorporate liposuction during the surgery for body sculpting purposes. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery, performed at our Pittsburgh surgi-center, can be used to tighten muscles that have been weakened by pregnancy or age and eliminate loose, unattractive skin.
