Body surgery can refine contours, restore proportion, and address physical changes caused by aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy. Dr. James Bruno offers personalized body procedures designed to achieve natural-looking, balanced results in a luxury setting.
Procedure Types for Body Surgery

Arm Lift
Brachioplasty, or an arm lift, removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create a smoother, more defined look. Patients often seek this procedure after significant weight loss or when skin laxity develops with age. The result is a firmer arm profile that better reflects the patient’s overall fitness and body shape.

Fat Grafting
In this procedure, a patient’s own fat is transferred from one area of the body to another to enhance volume and contour. Fat is harvested through liposuction, purified, and carefully injected into targeted areas such as the hips, buttocks, or other regions requiring subtle enhancement. The technique offers natural-looking results using the body’s own tissue.

Labiaplasty
Reshape or reduce the labia with tailored labiaplasty to address concerns related to discomfort, asymmetry, or appearance. Some patients pursue this procedure to relieve irritation during physical activity or while wearing certain clothing. The surgery is designed to improve comfort while maintaining natural anatomy and proportion.

Liposuction
An excellent tool when localized fat deposits fail to respond to diet or exercise, liposuction physically removes excess fat through a thin suction device. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, hips, thighs, back, and arms. By precisely removing fat and reshaping curves, liposuction can create smoother body lines and enhance overall proportion when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.

Mommy Makeover
This special makeover for women combines multiple procedures to address physical changes that can occur after pregnancy and childbirth. Treatment plans commonly include breast procedures along with abdominal contouring, such as a tummy tuck or liposuction. The goal is to restore body contours and help patients feel more comfortable and confident.

Thigh Lift
During this custom procedure, Dr. Bruno removes excess skin and reshapes the inner or outer thighs to create smoother contours. The procedure is often chosen by patients who have experienced weight loss or skin laxity that affects the shape of their thighs. By tightening the tissue and removing excess skin, a thigh lift can improve the overall proportions of the legs.

Tummy Tuck
Also called abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles to create a flatter, firmer midsection. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients with loose skin or muscle separation following pregnancy or weight changes. The surgery can significantly improve abdominal contour and core support.

Why Choose James Bruno Plastic Surgery
Body procedures require careful judgment and a refined surgical approach. Dr. Bruno focuses on creating results that feel balanced and natural, enhancing the body’s proportions without looking obvious or overdone. Many patients appreciate his conservative philosophy, in which the goal is not dramatic transformation but to feel more comfortable and confident in one’s own skin. With decades of experience and thoughtful surgical planning, Dr. Bruno helps patients achieve results they love while still looking entirely like themselves.
