A balanced, contoured body is key to confidence and self-image.

Dr. Halvorson offers a range of advanced body contouring options to meet each patient’s unique goals:
The Growing Demand for Body Contouring Procedures
Body contouring has become one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures in the United States. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 250,000 tummy tucks and 300,000 liposuction procedures are performed annually. The rise in these procedures highlights the increasing desire for effective, long-term solutions to improve body confidence. Patients who undergo body contouring procedures report a significant boost in self-esteem, body image, and overall quality of life.

Abdominoplasty in Asheville, NC
Abdominoplasty, also known as a “tummy tuck,” is often reported as one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States. This operation addresses excess skin by tightening and flattening the abdomen, although we can also remove additional fat with liposuction. Women who have diastasis, or separation of the rectus abdominis muscles from pregnancy, can have this repaired.
Abdominoplasty can significantly improve body contour at the expense of a scar hidden in the bikini line and around the umbilicus. Variations include the mini-abdominoplasty — which addresses only lower abdominal excess skin — and the extended abdominoplasty — which addresses significant excess skin using an inverted “T” incision.
We often perform abdominoplasty with breast augmentation and/or mastopexy after the effects of child-bearing have settled. Your anatomy, goals, and preferences will determine which procedure is best for you.
Liposuction in Asheville, NC
Research suggests that liposuction is the most common minimally invasive cosmetic surgery for patients between the ages of 35 and 64 in the United States. This surgical procedure uses a suction technique to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, and buttocks.
While liposuction can offer significant benefits to appropriately selected patients, aggressive liposuction can lead to complications and, therefore, works best when performed conservatively.
Because so many non-plastic surgeons offer liposuction, choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon for your procedure is important to reduce the risk of complications.
Brachioplasty in Asheville, NC
Brachioplasty can remove excess skin and fat on the upper arm, with or without liposuction. Although this requires placing a scar on the inner part of the upper arm, it is usually well-tolerated and fairly well-hidden.
Brachioplasty is often performed after weight loss, in conjunction with other body contouring procedures.
Thigh Lift in Asheville, NC
A thigh lift can remove excess skin and fat on the thigh, with or without liposuction. Scar placement depends on the location of the removed tissue, although it is commonly placed on the upper inner thigh, where it is relatively well hidden.
A thigh lift is often performed after weight loss, in conjunction with other body contouring procedures.
