Body Contouring in Beverly Hills
Body contouring in Beverly Hills allows patients to sculpt away stubborn fat, resulting in a slimmer, more defined figure. The right solution can vary for different patients. This is why Dr. Chiu offers a curated selection of procedures to create a refined physique. Discover both surgical and non-surgical paths toward realizing your ideal bodily aesthetic.
What Is a Body Contouring Procedure?
Body contouring covers a number of procedure options. Each one is focused on targeting excess fat and sculpting treatment areas. We offer surgical liposuction and liposculpture for more extensive improvements. But we also specialize in less invasive options for gentler (yet still effective) contouring. Target unwanted fat in the way that works best for you.
Surgical Body Contouring
- Liposuction: Remove excess, stubborn fat in body areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.
- Tummy Tuck: Combining liposuction with a tummy tuck allows us to create a slimmer figure and remove excess skin for a tighter look.
- Liposculpture: Focuses on the removal and reshaping of pockets of fat to create an enhanced, sculpted look. It requires a precise approach to create natural contours and a fit look.
- Arm & Thigh Reductions: Procedures that remove excess skin and fat from the arm or thighs and tighten the skin.
Non-Surgical Body Contouring
- CoolSculpting: This cryolipolysis treatment destroys fat cells by exposing them to cold temperatures. The fat cells are frozen and destroyed while the surrounding tissues are protected.
- Em Sculpt: This non-surgical treatment complements fat removal by improving muscle definition. The treatment contracts target muscles, giving them a workout while also creating additional fat-burning effects.
- RF Microneedling: An advanced form of microneedling that combines collagen induction therapy with the tightening abilities of radiofrequency energy.
Following treatments like CoolSculpting, patients may benefit from additional non-surgical treatments. For example, skin tightening treatments can help reduce the appearance of excess skin that can follow changes in weight.

Overview of a Typical Body Sculpting Experience
Initial Consultation
The consultation allows you to explore options and build a plan to match your needs. Dr. Chiu can provide comprehensive information and feedback. He works with you closely to decide on what procedures (or combinations) could be best for seeing the results you want.
Preparing for the Procedure
If you are having surgery, some preparation may be needed. Usually, this includes having some bloodwork done and pausing medications. Additionally, we recommend arranging for someone to drive you home. This is a good idea even if you are having a non-surgical body contouring treatment to allow you to rest right away.
Day of the Procedure
- Duration: Surgical procedures can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity. Additionally, liposuction duration depends on the number of areas treated and the amount of liposuction performed for each section. For non-surgical options, treatments usually last between 30 and 60 minutes. Some combination treatments may require more time, though.
- Anesthesia: For surgery, we use general anesthesia to ensure complete comfort during your procedure. Non-surgical options tend to require only local anesthetic for a pain-free visit. For treatments like Em Sculpt, you will not even need any numbing.
What Are the Results Like?
Dr. Chiu provides consistent results for his body contouring procedures. We recommend looking through his series of before-and-after photos of past patients. Each of our body sculpting solutions can provide long-lasting results.
The goal: to provide years of empowered self-confidence. The fat cells in liposuction and lipolysis are either permanently destroyed or removed. However, it is important to maintain a healthy routine following our treatments. Additionally, any significant changes to the body can impact body contouring results. For example, weight gain or pregnancy.
Combining Body Procedures: Is It Possible?
Combining body procedures is not only possible but popular. Many patients choose to build a personalized treatment plan that addresses multiple body or cosmetic concerns. In many cases, you can have multiple treatments or procedures in a single visit. This minimizes the amount of time spent in recovery or time away from your daily routine.
Dr. Chiu can go over your combination options during your consultation process. For example, body contouring often is a part of mommy makeovers. Some popular combinations include:
- Thigh lifts
- Arm lifts
- Breast procedures
- Brazilian butt lift
- And more
