When it comes to enhancing your aesthetics and achieving your desired contours, we perform numerous body procedures at Salinas Valley Plastic Surgery Associates™. Board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Matthew L. Romans and Dr. Jeremy Silk offer a wide range of body contouring procedures in Salinas and Monterey, California, to help you achieve the look you desire.
Our Body Plastic Surgery Options
Body contouring procedures primarily target areas of body fat around the waist, arms, thighs, and buttocks. Salinas Valley Plastic Surgery Associates™ can help you get that bikini body you’ve always wanted with one or more of the following techniques:
Abdominoplasty
More commonly known as a tummy tuck, abdominoplasty is perfect for patients who have loose skin, excess fat, and sagging muscles that affect the appearance of their abdomen. Massive, rapid weight loss can cause the skin around the patient’s abdomen to lose elasticity. This procedure will remove the excess skin and fat, tighten the remaining skin, and tighten the abdominal muscles.
Arm Lift
Loose skin and fat around the arms can cause the area to look flabby. An arm lift, also called brachioplasty, can improve the shape and contours of the arms for a tighter, fitter appearance.
Brazilian Butt Lift
There is no need to get butt implants when the Brazilian butt lift is available. The BBL involves transferring fat from other parts of the body to enhance the size and curves of the patient’s buttocks. Using natural fat results in a more natural increase in volume and reduces the risk of patient rejection.
Circumferential Body Lift
Patients who lose significant weight in a short period can develop loose skin in various areas of their bodies. The circumferential body lift targets multiple areas simultaneously for comprehensive tightening. This allows patients to show off their weight-loss results without drooping skin.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a body sculpting technique that removes stubborn fat deposits from targeted areas of the body through a thin tube called a cannula. This procedure is designed to address localized fat pockets that resist diet and exercise, such as those found in the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, and back.
Thigh Lift
Excess skin and fat around the thighs can be removed through a thigh lift, also called thighplasty surgery. The thighs will then look more contoured and sculpted.
Is Body Plastic Surgery Right For Me?
Ideal candidates for body plastic surgery are men and women in good overall health who can maintain a stable weight and have realistic expectations about their results. Patients should be non-smokers or willing to quit smoking before and after surgery, as smoking can interfere with healing. During your consultation, Dr. Romans or Dr. Silk will evaluate your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine which procedure — or combination of procedures — will help you achieve your desired outcome.
What Happens During Body Plastic Surgery?
Body plastic surgery typically begins with the administration of general anesthesia or intravenous sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the operation. The specific techniques and incision patterns vary depending on the procedure being performed and your individual anatomy. Following surgery, dressings or compression garments are applied to support the treated areas and promote optimal healing.
What is the Recovery Time For Body Procedures?
Recovery times vary based on the specific procedure and the individual. It’s essential to follow all post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process.

While all surgical procedures result in some scarring, Dr. Romans and Dr. Silk use advanced techniques and place the incisions in inconspicuous locations whenever possible to minimize their visibility. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable.
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, while also tightening the abdominal muscles. Liposuction, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive procedure that targets localized fat deposits by suctioning them out. The choice between the two depends on your specific needs and goals.
