The womanly form embodies the true sense of a 3D shape in space. It not only represents curves in a 2 dimensional hour-glass form, but also curves that are appreciated as the bust in the front and the buttock in the back. Unfortunately, the body lift procedure only corrects vertical tissue laxity. It does not , however, adjust for the circumferential laxity nor for undefined contours and projections. Dr. Agha performs his signature Body Contouring Procedure that aims to create tissue laxity correction to all three dimensions of the body. This involves resolving both vertical and circumferential laxity, as well as correcting the dimension of projection and contour. The latter is most applicable to the abdomen, breasts, lower back and buttocks.

In most cases, Dr. Agha carries out his “High-definition Body Contouring" in 2 stages. This involves team surgery of about 16 hours in total. By using trained physician assistants, Dr. Agha is able to perform each phase of the procedure in around 7-8 hours. Depending on the patient’s wishes or what produces the best results, one phase will focus on the lower body and another stage the upper half. He performs his lower body lift with a three-dimensional depiction of the female body in mind. He begins the procedure at the patient’s back. First the upper back rolls are liposuctioned. The removed fat is then collected in a sterile container, cleansed with antibiotics and processed for injection into the buttock area as small droplets for buttock lipoaugmentation (otherwise known as the Brazilian Butt lift)or Brazilian Butt lift. Through this approach the contour and projection of the lower buttock regions are enhanced. The upper and lower incisions of the circumferential abdominoplasty are then made on the lower back and the upper buttock, respectively. Between the two incisions, the tissue of the lower back is utilized as flaps for correction of the upper buttock region. Pockets of an appropriate size are subsequently created under the upper buttock regions for flap accommodation. The buttock is then lifted and the incisions are brought together by internally placed absorbable sutures. In this way, the buttock sag and laxity are corrected with a buttock lift, and the volume lost is replaced through your own lower back excess tissues. Thus buttock projection that is closely associated with feminine beauty and sensuality is returned and at times even enhanced.

Many patients discover a fuller and curvier buttock than ever before. Dr. Agha then proceeds with the lower body lift procedure by performing the outer thigh lift. The outer thigh tissue is selectively undermined as far as the knee region using a special instrument. It is then raised and secured at a higher position through deep stitches. Afterwards, he focuses on the thigh region below the buttocks. To correct laxity of the thigh back, Dr Agha has designed an innovative procedure that he has termed the Spiral thighplasty. This procedure corrects for the thigh laxity beginning below the buttock area. Excess tissue from the upper thigh is removed at the buttock fold, and the thigh is raised to a higher position. Once the thigh is secured to the underlying tissues in this new position, the buttock fold is carefully reconstructed. All skin incisions are then closed, and the patient is rotated on the bed and placed on her back with ample help.

Dr. Agha then completes the circumferential abdominoplasty in the front, followed by completion of the Spiral thighplasty. The Spiral thighplasty, unlike other thigh lift procedures, reduces thigh excess both vertically and circumferentially. Most of Dr. Agha’s patients notice a marked reduction in their thigh measurements as well as in their overall size. The hallmark of Dr. Agha’s approach is the restoration contour to the body, as well as placement of symmetrical incisions that are placed low on the abdomen and well-hidden in a bikini. This combination of procedures can require from 7 to 8 hours of surgery.

During the subsequent phase, the remaining body contouring procedures, including an extended arm lift (brachioplasty), an upper body lift, and breast reshaping, are completed. This combination of procedures can take anywhere from 6 to 7 hours of surgery. The second stage is best undertaken once all the incisions of the first stage are fully healed and the nutritional reserves of the patient replaced. Dr. Argha’s patients typically wait 3 to 6 months before commencing with the second stage. The extended brachioplasty corrects for the significant arm skin and tissue laxity. The upper body lift can be done as a horizontal incision on the back or a vertical incision on the outer chest. The choice depends on the degree of back tissue laxity, the orientation of the laxity and the patient’s desires and aversions of scars. Finally, Dr. Argha performs the breast reshaping as described above.

Dr. Agha uses liposuction during both the upper and lower body lift to contour and sculpt the underlying tissue to a desired three-dimensional form.
