At Krummen Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Donna Krummen combines advanced surgical skill with individualized care to help patients achieve natural, confident results. With more than 20 years of experience and repeated recognition as one of Cincinnati’s top doctors, Dr. Krummen understands that even with healthy eating and regular exercise, many people still struggle with stubborn areas of fat or loose skin that do not respond to effort alone.
Through a combination of body contouring procedures, Dr. Krummen helps patients refine their shape, tighten skin, and restore comfort in their appearance. Every plan is customized to align with your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle.
Body Contouring Procedures
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens underlying abdominal muscles to create a smoother, more toned midsection. It’s particularly effective after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Dr. Krummen performs each tummy tuck with attention to natural proportions, revealing a flatter, firmer abdomen that enhances the body’s overall contour.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets areas of stubborn fat that persist despite diet and exercise. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, and arms. While not a weight-loss method, liposuction refines body proportions and symmetry. Dr. Krummen uses precise techniques to ensure a natural, balanced outcome.
Arm Lift and Thigh Lift
For patients with sagging skin on the upper arms or thighs, a lift procedure removes excess tissue and tightens the supporting structures beneath. The result is a firmer, smoother contour that restores confidence in clothing and movement.
Body Lift
A body lift improves the tone and shape of the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs by removing excess skin and supporting the underlying tissue. This procedure is ideal for patients who have undergone significant weight loss and want to restore firm, even contours.
Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover addresses the physical changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Dr. Krummen tailors each plan to include procedures such as a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast surgery—either performed in one session or staged for safety and optimal results.
Medical Weight Management at Club Health by Dr. K
For patients seeking to improve body composition before or after surgery, Dr. Krummen offers a specialized medical weight management program, Club Health by Dr. K. This program utilizes FDA-approved medications, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, in conjunction with nutrition counseling and ongoing medical oversight, promoting healthy and sustainable weight loss. Patients often combine medical weight management with surgical contouring to enhance and maintain their results.
Body Contouring FAQs
Does body contouring help with weight loss?
Body contouring is not a substitute for weight loss. These procedures are ideal for individuals close to their target weight who wish to refine their shape by targeting stubborn fat or excess skin.
How long do body contouring results last?
Results can last many years when paired with a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Natural aging and skin elasticity may cause subtle changes over time, but the improvements from surgery are long-lasting.
Is body contouring safe?
Yes. When performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, body contouring is a safe and effective way to achieve your goals. Dr. Krummen operates in accredited medical facilities and prioritizes patient safety at every step.
Can body contouring reduce cellulite?
While body contouring improves overall smoothness and tightness, it does not directly eliminate cellulite. However, certain non-surgical treatments may improve its appearance by enhancing skin firmness.
How should I prepare for body contouring surgery?
Before surgery, patients are encouraged to maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoid smoking, and follow Dr. Krummen’s preoperative guidelines. She will provide personalized instructions to ensure a safe and smooth recovery.
Can I combine body contouring with other aesthetic procedures?
Yes. Many patients choose to combine body contouring with breast enhancement, facial rejuvenation, or non-surgical treatments for comprehensive results. Dr. Krummen will help you plan a combination approach that fits your aesthetic goals and recovery timeline.
