Dr. Rockmore Explains: Body Procedures
Body Procedures at a Glance
Body Contouring After Weight Loss
Body Contouring After Weight Loss
For patients who have lost significant weight through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery, exercise alone cannot tighten loose skin. Dr. Rockmore offers a range of body contouring procedures, including tummy tucks and body lifts, to remove excess skin and reveal the results of that hard work.
Cellulite Treatment
Cellulite Treatment
Cellulite forms when fibrous bands beneath the skin lose elasticity and squeeze the surrounding fat, creating a dimpled appearance most common in women. Dr. Rockmore offers Avéli™, an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive treatment that releases those bands through a tiny probe, smoothing the skin in a single office visit.
Liposuction
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn, isolated pockets of fat that do not respond to diet or exercise, refining and contouring the treated area. Dr. Rockmore often combines liposuction with other procedures, such as a tummy tuck or body lift, though it also works well as a standalone treatment.
Mommy Makeover
Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover combines procedures such as a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast enhancement into a single surgery, addressing the changes pregnancy and childbirth bring to the body. Dr. Rockmore customizes each combination to match a patient's specific goals and anatomy.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens weakened abdominal muscles, addressing changes from pregnancy, weight fluctuation, or age. Dr. Rockmore offers several variations, including mini and extended tummy tucks, to match the extent of correction each patient's midsection actually needs.
Arm Lift
Arm Lift
Also known as brachioplasty, an arm lift removes excess skin and fat from the upper arm, creating a more toned appearance. It is a popular option for patients after significant weight loss, when the arms often retain loose, sagging skin that exercise cannot resolve.
Body Lift
Body Lift
A body lift addresses laxity around the entire midsection, including the abdomen, flanks, and buttocks, in a single comprehensive procedure. It is especially popular among patients who have lost significant weight and are left with excess skin that extends beyond a single area.
Thigh Lift
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift removes excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thigh, improving contour and comfort in clothing. This procedure is often considered alongside a body lift for patients who have lost substantial weight and want more comprehensive lower-body results.
The Rockmore Approach to Body Contouring
Body procedures are highly personal, and results depend heavily on a surgeon's technique and eye for proportion. Dr. Rockmore's individualized approach means your treatment plan reflects your specific body, goals, and lifestyle rather than a one-size-fits-all formula.
With decades of experience and board certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Rockmore has helped patients throughout Latham, Troy, and the greater Capital Region achieve body contouring results that hold up well over time.

Frequently Asked Questions Body Procedure
What is the difference between liposuction and a tummy tuck?
Liposuction removes isolated fat deposits but does not address loose skin or muscle laxity. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles, and the two are often combined for more complete results.
Can body procedures be combined into one surgery?
Yes, many patients combine procedures such as liposuction, a tummy tuck, and a body lift into a single surgery. This can mean one recovery period instead of several, though Dr. Rockmore will confirm what is safe for your specific case.
How do I know which body procedure is right for me?
The best way to find out is through a consultation with Dr. Rockmore, who will evaluate your goals, skin quality, and anatomy in person before recommending a plan tailored to your needs.
Is a body lift the same as a tummy tuck?
Not quite. A tummy tuck focuses on the abdomen, while a body lift addresses the abdomen, flanks, and buttocks together. A body lift is generally considered for more extensive skin laxity after major weight loss.
Will diet and exercise alone achieve the same results?
Not usually. Diet and exercise can reduce overall body fat, but they cannot tighten loose or stretched skin, remove stubborn fat pockets, or repair separated abdominal muscles as surgery can.
How long does recovery take after a body procedure?
Recovery varies by procedure, ranging from about two weeks for liposuction alone to four to six weeks for more comprehensive surgeries like a body lift. Dr. Rockmore will outline a specific timeline for your plan.
Will body procedures leave visible scarring?
Most body procedures do involve some scarring, though Dr. Rockmore places incisions carefully to keep them as discreet as possible, often within natural creases or areas easily hidden by clothing.
Are body procedures only for women?
No. While procedures like a mommy makeover are specific to women, treatments such as liposuction, a tummy tuck, or an arm lift are commonly performed on men as well.
What is the best age for body contouring surgery?
There is no single ideal age. What matters more is that you are in good general health, have realistic expectations, and, for many procedures, have reached a stable weight before surgery.
How long do body contouring results typically last?
Results are generally long-lasting, especially when weight remains stable afterward. Significant weight changes or future pregnancies can affect results, which is why timing surgery around your life plans matters.
