As we age, it’s natural for body contours to change due to factors like pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and lifestyle choices. While diet and exercise can help maintain overall health, they may not always be enough to achieve the body shape you desire. Stubborn fat deposits and excess skin can persist despite your efforts.
If you’re struggling to refine specific areas of your body, our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Charles Chalekson, offers body sculpting in Santa Maria to help you achieve a more refined and sculpted silhouette. Schedule a consultation today to explore solutions tailored to your goals.
Surgical Body Contouring Procedures
In Santa Maria, body sculpting, also known as body contouring, includes both surgical and non-surgical options to address areas of fat and excess skin. Surgical procedures focus on eliminating fat, tightening skin, and enhancing body contours, while non-surgical options utilize advanced technology to safely and effectively remove stubborn fat.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
- Removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area
- Tightens underlying muscles
- Can include diastasis recti repair for women post-pregnancy
Liposuction
- Targets and removes stubborn fat deposits from various areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise
Mommy Makeover
- A combination procedure customized to address body changes after pregnancy or significant weight loss
- Can include tummy tucks, breast enhancements, liposuction, and more
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
- Removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms for a smoother, more contoured appearance
Thigh Lift
- Tightens and contours the upper thighs by removing excess skin
- Note: This procedure does not address cellulite
Body Lift

Butt Lift and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

Non-Surgical Body Contouring
Non-surgical body sculpting techniques utilize cutting-edge technology to tighten loose skin with only minimally invasive techniques.
Renuvion
- An FDA-approved, plasma-based technology to tighten the skin and soft tissue with only minimal incisions

Ellacor
