Body Procedures
Body procedures are designed to help restore balance and definition to your natural shape. At Prairie Aesthetics, these procedures are always approached thoughtfully and individually. The goal is not to change who you are — but to help you feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin.
Depending on your goals, body procedures can remove excess skin, sculpt areas of stubborn fat, tighten muscles, or combine several treatments into a comprehensive approach.
Some patients choose one procedure to address a specific concern, while others benefit from combining procedures to achieve a more complete transformation.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck is designed to create a flatter, firmer abdominal area by removing excess skin and tightening weakened abdominal muscles.
This procedure is especially helpful for patients who have experienced:
During a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed and the underlying abdominal muscles are repaired and tightened. This helps restore a smoother contour to the midsection while improving core support.
Many patients find that clothing fits more comfortably and their abdomen feels stronger and more toned after recovery.
A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure. Instead, it is intended for patients who are near their goal weight but want to address loose skin or muscle separation that cannot improve through exercise alone.
Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most effective ways to remove stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
Common treatment areas include:
Liposuction works by gently removing targeted fat deposits to create smoother and more balanced body contours. The procedure is often used to refine areas where fat tends to accumulate naturally.
It’s important to understand that liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. Instead, it is designed to sculpt and enhance your natural body shape.
Many patients choose liposuction as a standalone treatment, while others combine it with procedures like tummy tuck or body contouring to further refine their results.
Body Contouring
Body contouring refers to procedures that reshape and define the body by addressing excess skin, stubborn fat, or areas that have changed after weight loss or pregnancy.
These procedures are often tailored to each patient’s goals and may involve one or several techniques. Body contouring can improve the appearance of areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, back, and arms.
Patients often seek body contouring after:
The goal of body contouring is to create smoother transitions between different areas of the body while maintaining natural-looking proportions.
Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)
Brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is designed to improve the contour of the upper arms by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissue.
Over time, the upper arms can develop loose or sagging skin due to:
An arm lift reshapes this area to create a more toned and balanced appearance. The procedure removes extra skin and may include liposuction to refine the arm contour further.
Many patients choose brachioplasty because they feel self-conscious about the appearance of their arms in sleeveless clothing. After recovery, the arms often appear smoother, firmer, and more proportionate to the rest of the body.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
A Brazilian Butt Lift is a body contouring procedure designed to enhance the shape and fullness of the buttocks using your own natural fat.
Rather than using implants, this procedure involves two steps: liposuction to remove unwanted fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, followed by careful transfer of that fat to the buttocks to create a fuller, more defined shape.
Patients often choose a Brazilian Butt Lift to:
Because the procedure uses your own tissue, results can feel very natural. The dual benefit of slimming donor areas while enhancing the buttocks allows for a more comprehensive reshaping of the lower body.
A Brazilian Butt Lift is best suited for patients who have enough donor fat available and are close to their stable goal weight. Your surgeon will evaluate your anatomy and goals during consultation to determine whether this approach is the right fit for you.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia refers to the enlargement of breast tissue in men, which can cause the chest to appear fuller or more rounded than desired. This condition is more common than many people realize and can affect men of all ages.
The causes of gynecomastia can include:
For many men, gynecomastia does not improve with diet or exercise alone, particularly when excess glandular tissue — rather than fat — is the primary cause.
Gynecomastia surgery is designed to reduce breast volume and create a flatter, more defined chest contour. Depending on the individual case, treatment may involve removing excess glandular tissue, liposuction, or a combination of both. Many patients find that addressing gynecomastia has a meaningful impact on their confidence, particularly in situations such as swimming, exercise, or wearing fitted clothing. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate the extent of the condition and recommend the approach best suited to achieving a natural, masculine chest contour.
Braroll Excision (Upper Back Lift)
A braroll excision, sometimes referred to as an upper back lift, is a procedure designed to address excess skin and fat that accumulates in the upper back area — particularly the rolls of tissue that can appear along the bra line.
This area is often resistant to improvement through diet and exercise, especially following significant weight loss or as a natural result of aging.
Patients commonly seek this procedure to address:
The procedure involves carefully removing excess skin and tissue from the upper back, creating a smoother, more streamlined appearance. It is often combined with liposuction to further refine the contour of the area.
Many patients notice that clothing fits more comfortably and that they feel more confident wearing fitted tops or swimwear after recovery. Your surgeon will discuss the details of the procedure during your consultation and help you understand what results are realistic based on your anatomy and goals.
Complex Combination Cases
Some patients have aesthetic goals that go beyond a single procedure. Complex combination cases involve carefully planning and performing multiple procedures together to address several concerns in a coordinated way.
This approach can be beneficial for patients who:
Combining procedures requires thorough planning and careful attention to patient safety. Not all procedures are suitable to be performed together, and your surgeon will take the time to evaluate your overall health, anatomy, and goals before recommending a combined approach.
At Prairie Aesthetics, complex cases are approached with the same care and precision as any other procedure. The goal is always to create balanced, natural-looking results while prioritizing your safety and wellbeing throughout the process. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss whether a combined approach is appropriate for your goals and walk you through what to expect at each stage of the process.
Mommy Makeover
Pregnancy and childbirth can create lasting changes in the body that are difficult to reverse with diet and exercise alone.
A mommy makeover is a personalized combination of procedures designed to restore and enhance the body after pregnancy. Instead of treating concerns separately, several procedures can be performed together to address multiple areas.
A mommy makeover commonly includes:
Every mommy makeover is customized based on the patient’s goals, anatomy, and recovery preferences. The aim is to restore abdominal tone, refine body shape, and help patients feel more like themselves again.
Many women choose this approach because it allows them to address several concerns in one surgical plan rather than undergoing multiple separate procedures.
Personalized Care, Natural Results
Choosing a body procedure is a personal decision, and every patient’s goals are different. During your consultation, your surgeon will listen carefully to what you hope to achieve and recommend options that best align with your goals.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, understand the details of each procedure, and feel confident about your next steps. The focus is always on creating results that look natural, balanced, and uniquely suited to you.
