Losing weight is no small feat, so our team at Larson Plastic Surgery applauds your dedication to your health.
Unfortunately, some areas of your body may remain resistant to your weight loss efforts, while other areas might have minor skin laxity. Although you look and feel better, it’s hard to not fixate on these specific areas of your body that refuse to reflect the work you’ve put into yourself.
We understand your frustrations, which is why we offer treatments designed for body sculpting and skin tightening. These minimally to noninvasive services are customized to your unique aesthetic goals. To learn more about body contouring in Tucson, read this article.
Who Can Benefit from Body Contouring After Weight Loss
You’ve reached a healthy, stable weight, yet a few spots still don’t look like you want them to—lower abdomen, flanks, bra line, or under the chin. That’s normal after a weight change. Getting body contouring in Tucson can help when you’ve put in the work and you want your silhouette to fully reflect that.
We start by documenting baselines and skin quality. Then we map out an area-by-area plan that fits your needs and calendar. If you have an event, we sequence sessions so your results have time to develop.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a noninvasive, FDA-approved body contouring treatment that can help you lose up to 20% of fat in a specific area. Cryolipolysis allows this device to permanently freeze and eliminate fat cells, as they are more vulnerable to cold than other cells. Gradually, your body flushes these fat cells, producing long-lasting and natural-looking results.
In a series of 2 to 3 sessions, you’ll notice less fat in the treatment area, giving you a more contoured and sculpted look. You can expect to notice full results after 6 months.
Although this treatment destroys fat, it doesn’t replace a healthy, active lifestyle. Instead, CoolSculpting enhances your results and helps you reach the goals that you’ve been working towards.
Tucson-Smart Planning
Use these Tucson-smart tips around CoolSculpting and other nonsurgical sessions to protect your outcome and pace your body contouring in Tucson plan.
- Hydrate well the day before, and after appointments because lymphatic flow supports comfort and your body’s ability to eliminate fat cells.
- Keep peak heat in mind when scheduling, as high temperatures can amplify swelling.
- Wear loose, breathable layers so we can easily access the treatment areas and for your comfort afterwards.
- Protect treated skin from the sun with broad-spectrum SPF and UV-smart clothing.
- Keep movement gentle for 24 to 48 hours after nonsurgical sessions because steady circulation helps swelling resolve on schedule.
Skin Tightening
Skin tightening at Larson refers to a range of treatments designed to boost collagen and increase your skin’s firmness. We may recommend biostimulating injections, like Sculptra or Radiesse to increase your skin’s thickness while also smoothing texture.

We can also use BroadBand Light (BBL) or ClearSilk laser to restore your skin’s thickness and firmness. These treatments also boost collagen using lasers and light to improve your skin’s texture. For skin tightening, we may use Renuvion, a body contouring device that boosts collagen production. Occasionally, the excess skin may require surgical excision. This is why seeing a board certified plastic surgeon is the best way to make an informed decision.
When Surgical Options Serve You Better
Nonsurgical tools can reduce small pockets of fat. Sometimes, though, excess skin hides your progress. In that case, a precise surgical procedure may be the most effective route to a smoother contour. We’ll show incision placement, explain scar behavior in plain language, and outline milestones so you know exactly what the next three months look like.
If you’re not sure which path is best for you, we start conservative and reassess. We measure, photograph, and only escalate when it’s likely to deliver more than the nonsurgical route could.
Combine Treatments for Optimal Results
For firmer skin and a more sculpted, contoured look, we can combine your treatments for optimal results. During your consultation, we can discuss the best treatments for you. You’ve put in the time, effort, and dedication to looking and feeling your best, and we’re here to help you finally reach those goals.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
You’ll meet a friendly team that gets to know your goals before we talk technique. We review health history together, examine skin quality and tissue thickness, and take precise measurements and photos from several angles. Then we walk through options in plain English—what each tool can (and can’t) do, how long results take to show, and how timing works in Tucson’s heat and sun.
You leave with:
- A right-sized plan with session spacing, realistic milestones, and transparent pricing.
- A prep list that makes your day-of easy—hydration, clothing, and simple recovery steps.
- A follow-through schedule with photo checks so progress is visible and motivating.
