Removing stubborn fat

Enhancing body contours and proportions

Tightening and firming loose skin after pregnancy

Helping you feel more confident in your “new” skin after significant weight loss

Boosting body image by refining and enhancing your natural shape

Improving your overall quality of life

Beyond physical transformation, body sculpting empowers Houston men and women to feel more confident, comfortable, and in control of their appearance.

Body Contouring FAQ


Who’s a good candidate for body sculpting surgery?

Ideal candidates for body sculpting surgery are healthy, non-smokers who maintain a stable weight but struggle with stubborn fat or loose skin that doesn’t improve with diet and exercise. If you want to refine your contours and achieve a more sculpted appearance, Dr. Newall can recommend body contouring treatments tailored to your goals. You can also visit our Body Shapes page to learn more about what body sculpting can do for you.


What is recovery like after body contouring surgery?

Recovery after body contouring surgery depends on your procedure and the extent of correction. You can expect to take at least 1 to 2 weeks off work, refrain from vigorous exercise, and wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and accelerate healing. Dr. Newall provides detailed postoperative instructions to help manage your comfort. Learn more about available recovery care on our Postoperative Services page.


Does body contouring surgery leave scars?

Like any surgery, body contouring procedures result in some scarring. However, Dr. Newall carefully minimizes incisions and strategically places them in discreet locations, ensuring they are well-concealed. Over time, scars fade significantly, and Dr. Newall recommends effective scar products and treatments to minimize their appearance further.


Does body contouring help you lose weight?

Body contouring is not a weight loss solution but rather a way to refine and reshape your figure by removing excess fat and skin. Ideal candidates are already close to their goal weight before surgery. Body contouring after weight loss helps many patients achieve the closure and confidence to celebrate their weight loss success fully.
