Body contouring
Body contouring improves your silhouette when diet and exercise are no longer enough: it removes stubborn fat, tightens loose skin after pregnancy or weight loss, and enhances or reshapes areas such as the buttocks or calves.
These procedures are not a substitute for weight loss; they work best for people at a stable weight with healthy habits. Your consultation defines which areas to treat, whether combining procedures makes sense and how much recovery time to plan for.
Body contouring procedures
Tummy tuck
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and, when needed, tightens the abdominal muscles. In Mexico City, it is a common choice after pregnancy or major weight loss.
2 to 4 hours · 4 to 6 weeks
Mini tummy tuck
A mini tummy tuck removes a limited amount of loose skin below the belly button, usually combined with liposuction. In Mexico City, it is an option for patients who need less correction than a full tummy tuck.

Arm lift
An arm lift (brachioplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the inner upper arm to reduce its circumference and create a firmer contour. In Mexico City, it is often sought after major weight loss.

Calf implants
Calf implants are silicone implants placed in the calf area to add volume and improve the shape of the lower leg. In Mexico City, calf augmentation is performed as an outpatient procedure.

Brazilian butt lift
A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) uses liposuction to take fat from areas such as the abdomen or thighs and transfers it to the buttocks for volume and shape. In Mexico City, it is a popular alternative to implants.
Soft Definition liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits through a thin suction cannula. Soft Definition liposuction in Mexico City goes a step further, sculpting fat around the muscles for an athletic but subtle contour.
1 to 2+ hours · 2 to 4 weeks
Thigh lift
A thigh lift (thighplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the inner and upper thighs to improve their contour and firmness. In Mexico City, it is often part of body contouring after major weight loss.
