Body Contouring

Deigni Plastic Surgery in Houston offers a comprehensive range of body contouring procedures beyond tummy tuck and liposuction, including Brazilian butt lift (BBL) with fat transfer, body lift (addressing the abdomen, waist, thighs, lower back, and buttocks in a single procedure), arm lift (brachioplasty), thigh lift, and the mommy makeover — a customised combination of breast and abdominal procedures performed in a single surgical session. Dr. Deigni also sees patients seeking post-weight-loss body contouring after significant bariatric or dietary weight reduction.

Body contouring at Deigni Plastic Surgery in Houston spans a spectrum of surgical procedures designed to reshape and refine the body's silhouette — particularly following pregnancy, significant weight loss, or changes in body composition over time. Dr. Olivier Deigni's training in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery positions the practice to address the full range of body contouring needs, from isolated single-area procedures to complex, multi-site surgical sessions. The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) at the practice combines liposuction from donor areas — most commonly the abdomen, flanks, and lumbar back — with the transfer of purified autologous fat to the gluteal region via micro-fat injection. Fat is layered strategically into the superficial subcutaneous plane of the buttocks to increase projection, define the lateral hip curve, and improve the transition from waist to hip. Dr. Deigni adheres strictly to current safety guidelines for gluteal fat grafting, which require injection into the subcutaneous fat layer above the gluteal muscle fascia to avoid the rare but serious risk of fat embolism. Body lift surgery addresses the circumferential excess skin and soft tissue that remains after major weight loss — whether from bariatric surgery or sustained dietary effort. A lower body lift excises a belt of redundant skin from the lower abdomen, waist, outer thighs, lower back, and buttocks in a single procedure, dramatically improving the contour of the trunk and proximal thighs. Upper body lift procedures address the arms (brachioplasty) and back. Arm lift (brachioplasty) removes excess skin from the medial upper arm between the axilla and the elbow, correcting the appearance of loose skin that does not respond to exercise or weight stabilisation. Thigh lift surgery removes excess skin from the inner and outer thigh to correct skin laxity that causes chafing, hygiene difficulty, and contour irregularity. The mommy makeover at Deigni Plastic Surgery is a customised combination procedure that typically pairs breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction with a tummy tuck and, where indicated, liposuction or other body work — all addressed in a single operating session to minimise total recovery time. A detailed pre-operative consultation and physical examination are conducted before any combined procedure to ensure the patient is a suitable candidate for a longer anaesthetic and to plan the safest, most efficient surgical sequence. Patient financing through CareCredit and other programmes is available for all body contouring procedures.
