Body contouring refers to a range of cosmetic treatments and plastic surgery procedures designed to reshape specific areas of the body. These treatments can remove fat, tighten loose skin, improve contour irregularities, and restore volume where aging or weight loss has altered tissue structure.
Depending on the treatment area and desired outcome, body contouring may focus on the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, buttocks, or facial contour. Ideal candidates are patients in good health who are near a stable body weight and have realistic expectations about their final results. Body contouring is not considered a weight loss procedure. Instead, it is intended to refine the body’s shape after diet and exercise efforts have already been established.
At JanigaMDs, patients can choose from several advanced procedures designed to create natural-looking results with long-lasting improvements.
Liposuction removes excess fat cells from targeted areas, such as the abdomen, outer thighs, upper arms, and inner thighs. During the procedure, plastic surgeons use specialized instruments to remove fat while sculpting the body’s natural contours.
CoolSculpting Elite is a non-surgical treatment that targets stubborn fat using controlled cooling. The treatment works by freezing fat cells in the treatment area, allowing the body to gradually eliminate them over time in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and flanks.
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, uses a patient’s own fat to restore volume and improve body contours. During the procedure, fat is removed from one area of the body via liposuction, carefully purified, and then injected into another area for additional volume.
Biostimulators are injectable treatments designed to stimulate collagen production within the skin and extracellular matrix. Unlike traditional HA fillers, which provide immediate volume, biostimulators gradually encourage the body to produce new collagen over time.
AlloClae is an advanced regenerative treatment designed to restore soft-tissue volume while supporting collagen formation. This treatment can help patients achieve smoother contours and a more youthful appearance without traditional surgery.
Before undergoing body contouring treatment, patients will schedule a consultation with the JanigaMDs team. During this appointment, your provider will review your medical history, evaluate the treatment area, and discuss your goals.
Patients should be in good health, avoid smoking, and maintain a stable body weight before surgery or treatment. Your surgeon will explain the potential benefits, risks, recovery expectations, and whether multiple procedures may be recommended to create optimal results.
Every body contouring procedure is customized to the patient’s anatomy and goals. Depending on the selected treatment, procedures may involve surgery, injectable treatments, or non-invasive technologies.
Some treatments are completed in under an hour, while more extensive surgery may require several hours and general anesthesia. Your provider will carefully explain what to expect before the procedure begins.

Recovery varies based on the treatment performed. Surgical procedures may involve swelling, bruising, temporary pain, and activity restrictions for one to two weeks.
Patients who undergo liposuction or fat transfer are often instructed to wear compression garments to reduce swelling and support healing. Non-surgical treatments typically involve minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to normal activities more quickly.
Most patients notice gradual improvements as swelling subsides and collagen production continues. Final results may take several weeks or months to fully develop, depending on the procedure performed. Patients who maintain a stable body weight often enjoy their results for many years.

As a patient of both Dr. Jennifer and Tim Janiga, I have the utmost praise for the care I have received. They are fantastic at what they do. The attention to detail and going ‘above and beyond’ is very much appreciated.
I’m giving Dr. Janiga 5 stars because of I love the results of my surgeries. He listened to my concerns and we decided together the best options based on my budget and the outcome that I wanted. He did a Lip Lift for me in May 2015. I am so happy with the results. My thin flat upper lip now has that cute cupids bow and it looks natural. He did this surgery in his in his Office Surgical Suite.
I’ve had microneedling, fillers, and Botox with Charlotte and I am very happy with the results. Charlotte is always so informative and answers all of my questions. I really like her conservative approach and recommendations. She is friendly and we always have great conversation!
