Getting A Consultation

You will receive a quote for your personalized plan and will have the option to begin scheduling appointments to bring you closer to your goal.
Choosing A Cosmetic Surgeon
Body contouring involves many choices. The first and most important choice is selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon that you can trust. Located in Charlotte, North Carolina, Dr. Peter Capizzi is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). These surgeons meet rigorous standards to maintain their board certification. They must complete years of surgical and plastic surgery training, ongoing examinations, and continue their education each year.
Besides a comprehensive education and certification, the surgeon you choose should keep your goals and values at the forefront during the entire process: from planning to post-op. This is your journey to your best self, and your surgeon is there to help you get there.
During A Body Contouring Procedure
Although the procedures themselves are quite different, there are a lot of similarities. They are all completed under general anesthesia, meaning you will need someone to drive you home after your procedure. While you are asleep, the surgeon will remove excess skin and fat via incisions. Your surgeon will attempt to place your incisions in strategic locations where they will remain hidden by most clothing.
Recovery
The results of body contouring surgery are visible immediately, you may feel your posture is better, or you don’t feel “heavy” anymore. It will take a few months before the scars heal all the way. The results of body contouring surgery are generally long-lasting, if you maintain a stable weight and general fitness. As your body ages, it is natural to lose some firmness. Yet, most of your initial improvement will remain.
You should avoid bending, straining, or lifting for up to 2 weeks depending on the type of procedure performed. A lymphatic massage after your surgery will reduce swelling and speed recovery.
