About Body Procedures

Dr. Gutierrez performs a range of body procedures that address concerns such as excess skin, stubborn fat, and changes to the body following pregnancy, weight loss, or natural aging. He performs each procedure with meticulous attention to detail to create natural, rejuvenated contours and proportional results.

Arm Lift

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arm, resulting in a firmer and more toned appearance. (1) This procedure benefits individuals who experience sagging or loose skin due to aging, genetics, or major weight loss. Dr. Gutierrez carefully sculpts the arms by tightening the underlying tissues and removing excess skin, creating smoother and more defined contours.

Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery is a foundational procedure at our center, helping patients achieve significant health and weight milestones. For many who have struggled with their weight, bariatric surgery helps to reduce calorie intake and shed fat. Eventually, patients may require body sculpting after their weight loss success.

Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) enhances the size, shape, and projection of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat. (2) Dr. Gutierrez uses precise fat transfer techniques to sculpt the donor area (typically hips or flanks) and shape the buttocks to appear fuller and rounder while maintaining harmony with the rest of the body.

Butt Implants

For patients who desire increased projection but lack sufficient donor fat to transfer, butt implants offer an effective alternative. These synthetic implants provide a fuller, more shapely appearance to the buttocks, enhancing the lower body figure and proportions. (3)

Calf Implants

Calf implants add volume and definition to the lower legs. This procedure is ideal for individuals dissatisfied with the size or shape of their calves due to genetics or medical conditions, helping them achieve more balanced, athletic lower legs. (4)

Liposuction

Liposuction is a versatile contouring tool that removes stubborn, localized pockets of fat that remain resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Gutierrez uses a thin cannula to delicately sculpt areas such as the abdomen, hips, flanks, and upper arms, creating smoother and more defined body transitions. (5)

Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover is a customizable combination of procedures designed to address the physical changes that occur after pregnancy, breastfeeding, natural aging, or whenever a woman desires a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Dr. Gutierrez typically combines treatments such as a tummy tuck with breast augmentation or a breast lift to restore a more youthful and toned appearance.

Thigh Lift

With a thigh lift, Dr. Gutierrez improves the contours of the upper legs by removing excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thighs. (6) This procedure results in firmer, smoother skin and better leg proportions, particularly for patients who have experienced significant skin laxity following weight loss or natural aging.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, eliminates redundant skin and reinforces the abdominal wall. Dr. Gutierrez tightens the underlying muscles and removes sagging tissue to create a flatter, firmer, and more sculpted midsection (7), addressing concerns often arising after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Vaginal Reconstruction

Vaginal reconstruction, including procedures like labiaplasty (8), aims to improve both the aesthetic appearance and functional comfort of the labia. Many women undergo this treatment to address discomfort during physical activity or to relieve self-consciousness regarding asymmetrical or enlarged labial tissue.

Benefits

Choosing body surgery at Cosmetic & Bariatric Surgery Center provides transformative physical and emotional benefits. Patients can expect:

  • Enhanced Body Contours: Achieving a smoother, more sculpted physique that accentuates your natural shape.
  • Improved Proportions: Addressing areas of concern to create balance and harmony throughout your silhouette.
  • Increased Physical Comfort: Reducing the discomfort associated with excess skin, such as chafing or skin irritation.
  • Boosted Confidence: Many patients report feeling more comfortable in their clothing and a significant improvement in self-esteem after seeing their results.

Candidates

Ideal candidates for body surgery are in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and hold realistic expectations for surgical outcomes. We work with patients who are:

  • Non-Smokers: Must be nicotine-free or willing to quit for an extended time period.
  • Physically Stable: Patients should be at or near a healthy goal weight which they can maintain over time.
  • Goal-Oriented: Whether you are interested in a particular treatment or want to focus on a specific area of the body, we ask our patients to have clear aesthetic objectives to discuss with Dr. Gutierrez during the personal consultation.

Personal Consultation

During your one-on-one with Dr. Gutierrez, he will evaluate your anatomy, listen to your aesthetic concerns and goals, and review your medical history. You will discuss the details of your intended surgical procedures, including the recovery process and potential results.

To get started and schedule your personal consultation, submit an online contact form or contact our office by phone:

Preparation

To support a smooth treatment and recovery process, Dr. Gutierrez will provide you with detailed preoperative instructions. Before your treatment day, we recommend making the following preparations:

  • Stop smoking or using nicotine products six weeks before and after surgery.
  • Temporarily cease use of any blood-thinning medications or supplements.
  • Pre-fill all necessary prescriptions and prepare a comfortable recovery space.
  • Schedule time off from work and arrange personal transportation and assistance for the day of surgery and 24-48 hours afterward.

Procedure

Our highly experienced surgical team performs all surgeries at our fully accredited surgical facility using either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the complexity of the procedure. Dr. Gutierrez utilizes advanced, precise surgical techniques to minimize visible scarring while maximizing aesthetic impact. He prioritizes patient safety and comfort, combining procedures when necessary to streamline recovery time and provide more comprehensive contouring.

Recovery

Recovery is an essential phase of your transformation, and our dedicated team will support you throughout the entire process. While every patient’s timeline is unique to their specific procedure, initial bruising and swelling are common and generally peak during the first few days. We will provide detailed post-operative care instructions and monitor your progress through regularly scheduled check-ups.

After body surgery, most patients can return to desk work and light activities after a couple of weeks. You must wear compression garments to support healthy circulation and healing tissues, and avoid strenuous activity, running, and heavy lifting for about six weeks, or until Dr. Gutierrez gives you clearance.

Results

You will notice some initial improvements immediately after surgery, but the final results will continue to develop as swelling resolves over the coming weeks and months. As your body heals, your tissues will settle, revealing a more toned and defined profile. These outcomes are long-lasting, especially with the support of a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
