Body Contouring for Patients in Tampa, FL, Can Enhance Shape Following Weight Loss

Body contouring is a staged surgical approach that can help Tampa, FL, patients look and feel better by improving their silhouettes. While weight loss is often a significant achievement that lays the foundation for a happier and healthier life, it can sometimes leave behind loose, hanging skin that is impervious to regular exercise and healthy eating habits. In addition to being unattractive, this excess skin can create discomfort and decrease mobility. When sufficient skin elasticity exists, body contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast and body lifts, can help create a shapelier form for healthy-weight patients.

For body contouring and other cosmetic procedures in Tampa, Florida, many individuals have turned to Dr. John Roach of the Bayside Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.  Before founding his clinic in 2008, Dr. Roach completed seven years of extensive training in general, plastic, and reconstructive surgery with dozens of renowned surgeons. Dr. Roach has also earned numerous awards throughout his education and career, including the esteemed honor of being named chief resident in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Today he is well-known throughout the Tampa area and beyond for his outstanding surgical skill and unparalleled patient care.

Here’s what you can expect from Dr. Roach: During a personalized consultation for body contouring, he will take the time to get to know you, discuss your perceptions and goals, recommend an appropriate course of action, and create a customized treatment plan to achieve the most natural-looking results possible, while simultaneously helping to renew your mind, body, and spirit. 

Since most health insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures like body contouring, you might be wondering about the potential costs involved. Of course, each patient’s plan is highly individualized, and when you meet with Dr. Roach, he will provide detailed information on the cost of achieving your own specific cosmetic goals. However, as a general frame of reference for some of the procedures commonly utilized in body contouring, Dr. Roach advises that most patients can expect to pay approximately $7,500 for a tummy tuck, $5,000 for an arm lift, and $2,500 for liposuction. These amounts may include the costs of medical tests, prescriptions for medication, anesthesia, facility fees, the surgeon’s fee, and post-surgery garments.

Dr. Roach notes that a surgeon’s fee for body contouring procedures will vary based upon his or her qualifications and experience. Therefore, when choosing your surgeon, it is important to keep in mind that your confidence and comfort level are more important than the price of the surgery.
