Is Treatment Covered by Insurance?
Patients often ask what role health insurance can play in paying for plastic surgery. Insurance companies will often consider paying for a significant breast reduction. In these instances, insurance will only pay for the extent of treatment needed to resolve practical issues. You can expect that strictly cosmetic procedures will require paying out of pocket. During your consultation, we will provide an estimated cost.
Here at Tarrant Plastic Surgery in Fort Worth, TX, we strive to make treatment accessible to all. We offer discounts if you undergo multiple body contouring procedures at once. We also work with CareCredit® and Alphaeon® Credit, third-party financing companies that can split the cost of treatment into monthly payments. That way, you can finalize your figure now and pay for it later.
Body Contouring Procedures
Weight loss patients come to us with varied concerns, from their abdomen and breasts to their arms, lower extremities, and face. Procedures like a tummy tuck, body lift, breast lift (with or without implants), thigh lift, arm lift, facelift, buttocks lift, and liposuction can be used to restore definition to your figure. It is important for patients to realize that, depending on the number of areas being treated, these operations may need to be performed over multiple stages in order to safely achieve the desired result.
Fire, Ice, and Tone for Minimally Invasive Body Contouring
Dr. Vishnu Rumalla discusses the benefits of blending surgical and non-surgical strategies to help body contouring patients achieve their aesthetic goals in the most effective manner. We make use of technologies like Morpheus8, CoolSculpt®, and CoolTone® to tighten skin, freeze deep fat, and stimulate muscle growth, respectively. These body contouring methods offer beautiful results with quick treatment times and minimal post-treatment recovery.

Candidacy Factors
Stable Weight
Patients must be at or near their ideal weight to be considered for body contouring. Large weight fluctuations can potentially compromise surgery results.
Non-Smoker
Smoking significantly increases the risk of surgical complications. Patients must quit smoking for an allotted time to be approved for body contouring procedures.
Committed to a Healthy Lifestyle
In order to maintain their results, patients must be committed to a healthy lifestyle that includes a well-balanced diet and regular exercise.
Managed Conditions
If you have conditions like diabetes or hypertension, they must be managed before Dr. Rumalla can provide body contouring. Metabolic problems like electrolyte imbalances or anemia must also be corrected prior to surgery. Dr. Rumalla can coordinate care with your primary care doctor to help you achieve candidacy.

Understanding the Body Contouring Process
Patients are ready for body contouring when they have achieved their weight loss goal and feel confident about being able to maintain that weight through diet and exercise. Dr. Rumalla will provide an estimated treatment timeline to allow you to schedule the most convenient time that works for you. The general timeline involves these steps:
"My wife lost a significant amount of weight and wanted to get herself back to a place she felt good about. After consulting with several doctors nation wide a friend referred her to Dr. Rumalla. He explained that to get where she wanted to go it’d take 3 steps. The team at Tarrant Plastic Surgery are great and care couldn’t have possibly been better.” — Cory, 5-Star Review
Alternatives to Traditional Liposuction Our Fort Worth Practice Uses the Most Advanced Solutions
Dr. Rumalla believes in taking the most conservative route to achieving each patient's cosmetic goals. In some cases, traditional liposuction is the best way to eliminate unwanted fat and enhance the patient's figure. But in some instances, a less invasive alternative may be equally effective. We invite you to explore these alternatives to traditional liposuction:
Bodytite
Bodytite is a minimally invasive procedure that is similar to liposuction, but relies on radio frequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to liquefy fat and remove it from areas such as the thighs, arms, and buttocks. Thermal energy is applied under and above the skin so that fat removal and skin tightening can be achieved during a single procedure. Bodytite can provide incredible benefits without the lengthy recovery time associated with more invasive surgical techniques.
Kybella
Do you have stubborn fat below your jawline that is compromising the definition of your features? We may be able to eliminate it without surgery, and with little or no downtime. Kybella® is an injectable consisting of synthetic deoxycholic acid that breaks down fat, which is then absorbed. Like liposuction, the results are permanent. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they do not return. During your consultation, Dr. Rumalla can help determine if this is the best way to enhance the definition of your jawline.
Coolsculpting
Coolsculpting is a treatment approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that uses cold temperatures to target and destroy fat cells. It can be used to treat several different areas of the body. The procedure uses carefully regulated cooling plates to bring fat cells down to a temperature at which they are irreversibly damaged. The damaged fat cells die and are naturally eliminated by the body over the following weeks and months.
Frequently Asked Questions About Body Contouring in Fort Worth, TX
How do I prepare for body contouring surgery?
Dr. Rumalla will review your medical history to make sure you don't need to stop taking any meds before your procedure. Otherwise, you should prepare to make your recovery at home as comfortable as possible. You can expect at least a few days of downtime (or more than a week, depending on the extent of your treatment). Stock up on groceries, arrange any necessary childcare, and make sure to arrange for any other help you may need from friends or family well before your surgery date.
Which procedure is right for me?
Dr. Rumalla will help determine which body contouring treatment or combination of treatments is right for you. We’ve helped many patients just like you select the procedures that deliver their desired results. After assessing all areas of concern, our team will work with you to create a customized plan and treatment timeline so you know just what to expect.
What is body contouring recovery like?
Whether you’ve undergone a tummy tuck or combined several procedures, body contouring recovery can vary. Recovery is around four to six weeks or longer before patients can resume normal activity, although some may return to desk work in less time.
Some patients may need to wear compression garments to speed up the recovery process and help with circulation. Avoid physical strain until you are cleared by Dr. Rumalla, or you could risk tissue damage. As you heal, you will attend follow-up appointments so we can ensure your recovery is going as planned.
How long do results last?
Results can last 10 years or more. It's important to keep in mind that as you age, your results will change. The best way to achieve long-lasting results is to maintain a steady weight and regular exercise after your recovery. Leading a healthy lifestyle allows you to get the most out of your plastic surgery results.
How much does body contouring cost?
The cost of body contouring can range dramatically based on what you want to accomplish, your choice of surgeon, and whether you choose to combine procedures to achieve your goals. Patients in Forth Worth and beyond invest in Dr. Rumalla's work because he has been in private practice for more than 20 years and has a track record of providing outstanding results. He offers financing that can help you budget for the results you want.
Is body contouring safe?
When you choose a reputable surgeon who is board-certified and frequently performs the procedure you want, body contouring can safely realize the enhancements you want. Dr. Rumalla performs surgery at the Southlake Surgery Center, which is QUAD A-accredited and equipped with advanced technology for outstanding safety and precision.
