Body contouring encompasses a variety of cosmetic plastic surgery treatments that can provide dramatic improvement in the shape and appearance of the body. Frequently requested and commonly performed body contouring treatments include liposuction , abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) , thighplasty (thigh lift ), brachioplasty (arm lift ), and gluteoplasty (buttocks augmentation, buttocks lift, buttocks shaping).
Despite exercise and a well balanced diet, many people still have areas of their body that they are unhappy with. It is important to remember that loose skin which has lost its elasticity will not improve through diet and exercise. Certain events, such as following pregnancy or after weight loss or weight fluctuation, can result in loose skin and soft-tissue that can only be corrected through body contouring treatments.
Some of the body contouring treatments can be performed at the same time. The Mommy Makeover concept of combining tummy tuck and breast enhancement is commonly requested by women following pregnancy. Similarly, the combination of tummy tuck and buttock rejuvenation can provide dramatic improvement for patients that have had significant weight loss or weight fluctuation.

Bra Line Back Lift
The Bra Line Back Lift is a new procedure which is designed to improve the shape and contour of the upper and middle back. This new procedure was published in the Ideas and Innovations section of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal, the most prestigious plastic surgery journal in the world. It was co-authored by Dr. Repta and Advanced Aesthetic Associates is pleased to offer patients in the Phoenix, Scottsdale, and surrounding areas this new method as part of the body rejuvenating cosmetic surgery procedures.
Many women struggle with the presence and appearance of back fat and back rolls especially near and underneath the back part of the bra area. Despite proper diet and exercise, back rolls or excess soft-tissue laxity of the upper and middle back tend stay. This is largely a natural part of aging, although it can be accentuated by weight fluctuation and significant weight loss. Until now, women with back rolls have had to pass on wearing form fitting clothes unless they wanted the back rolls to show prominently. With the Bra Line Back Lift, these rolls of soft tissue and back fat is removed allowing a smooth, uniform, and more attractive contour of the back to be achieved.
The final incision of the Bra Line Back Lift is designed to be hidden under the back part of the bra strap. The women who have undergone this procedure understand that they are trading the presence and appearance of back fat rolls for a smooth and uniform contour as well as a scar. To date, every woman who has had a Bra Line Back Lift has been uniformly very happy with the outcome. Many have even stated that the Bra Line Back Lift “is the best cosmetic procedure they have had”.
