Body contouring is a group of procedures that reshape the body by removing stubborn fat, transferring fat to add curves, tightening skin, or removing loose skin. With Dr. Khaled O. Alameddine in Coral Gables, Miami, it includes liposuction, Lipo 360, Brazilian butt lift, Renuvion skin tightening, tummy tuck, mommy makeover, arm and thigh lifts, lower body lift, and labiaplasty.

With Dr. Khaled O. Alameddine in Coral Gables, Miami, liposuction of one to two areas starts at $6,500 and three to four areas at $8,000. Awake liposuction of one area starts at $4,500, Lipo 360 at $9,500, or $8,500 awake. Each additional area is $1,500. Prices include the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, and facility fees, and the $250 consultation is credited toward your surgery if performed within 12 months.

Lipo 360 is circumferential liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and back, treating the waist from every angle rather than the front alone. It creates a smoother, more defined waistline and is the foundation of a Brazilian butt lift. With Dr. Alameddine, Lipo 360 starts at $9,500, or $8,500 performed awake under local anesthesia.

Yes. Awake liposuction uses local tumescent anesthesia, so general anesthesia is not needed, and with Dr. Khaled O. Alameddine the choice is yours: liposuction, Lipo 360, and Lipo 360 with fat transfer can be performed awake or with anesthesia, depending on your preference. Anesthesia is required only when liposuction is combined with other procedures. Awake liposuction of one area starts at $4,500, awake Lipo 360 at $8,500, and awake Lipo 360 with fat transfer to the breasts or hips at $10,500.

A Brazilian butt lift with Dr. Khaled O. Alameddine in Coral Gables, Miami, starts at $12,500. It includes Lipo 360 to sculpt the waist and transfer of the purified fat to the buttocks, along with the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, and facility fees.

Any surgery carries risk, and the most serious BBL risk, fat entering large blood vessels, is linked to fat placed into or beneath the gluteal muscle. Florida law now requires surgeons in office surgery settings to inject fat only into the layer above the muscle, using ultrasound guidance, to personally perform the fat transfer, and to examine patients in person beforehand. Dr. Khaled O. Alameddine follows these standards and operates in a QUAD A–accredited surgery center.

Swelling and soreness from the liposuction areas are expected early on, and you will wear a compression garment. Direct pressure on the buttocks is limited for a period after surgery to protect the transferred fat, and Dr. Alameddine gives specific instructions for sitting, sleeping, and travel. Many patients return to desk work within about two weeks with these precautions.

No. Some transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed in the first months, and the fat that remains behaves like your own tissue. The final shape becomes clearer as swelling resolves. Because volume is limited by safety guidelines and by how much fat you have available, Dr. Alameddine discusses realistic projection at your consultation.

Liposuction removes fat but does not remove loose skin or repair separated abdominal muscles. If your skin is firm and the concern is fat, liposuction may be enough; if there is loose skin, a lower belly pooch, or muscle separation, a tummy tuck is usually the better choice. With Dr. Alameddine, a tummy tuck starts at $10,500 and a tummy tuck with Lipo 360 at $14,500.

Liposuction alone does not tighten skin significantly. When mild looseness is expected, Renuvion skin tightening can be added under the skin during liposuction, starting at $2,500 for the first region and $1,000 for each additional region with Dr. Alameddine. Renuvion is also available on its own from $4,500, performed awake. Substantial loose skin usually needs skin removal instead.

Renuvion is an energy-based device that uses helium plasma beneath the skin to help tighten mildly loose skin, often in combination with liposuction. It does not replace skin removal when there is significant excess. Dr. Khaled O. Alameddine offers Renuvion as an add-on from $2,500 or as a standalone awake procedure from $4,500.

Yes. Fat removed during liposuction can be purified and transferred to add volume to the breasts or hips. With Dr. Alameddine, Lipo 360 with fat transfer to the breasts or hips starts at $11,500, or $10,500 awake, and fat transfer can be added to other liposuction for $2,000.

Fat cells removed by liposuction do not grow back. The remaining fat cells can still enlarge with weight gain, so keeping a stable weight is the best way to maintain your result.

No. Liposuction refines contour in areas of stubborn fat that do not respond to diet and exercise; it is not a treatment for weight loss. The best candidates are near a stable, healthy weight with good skin elasticity.

Common areas include the abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, arms, and the chin and neck. Chin and neck liposuction with Dr. Alameddine starts at $3,500 performed awake. Your plan is based on where fat sits and how your skin is likely to respond.

Swelling, bruising, and soreness are expected, and you will wear a compression garment as instructed; two postoperative garments are included when needed. Many patients return to desk work within a few days to a week, depending on the extent of treatment, while swelling continues to settle over the following months.

A mommy makeover combines procedures that address changes after pregnancy, typically a tummy tuck, breast surgery, and liposuction. With Dr. Khaled O. Alameddine, a mommy makeover with breast augmentation and flank liposuction starts at $16,500, with a breast lift at $17,500, and with augmentation and lift at $19,500.

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, removes loose skin from the upper arms and starts at $8,500 with Dr. Khaled O. Alameddine in Coral Gables, Miami. It leaves a scar along the inner arm, which is planned to be as discreet as possible.

A thigh lift removes excess skin from the thighs, often after weight loss, and starts at $10,500 with Dr. Khaled O. Alameddine. The incision pattern depends on where the loose skin is and is reviewed at consultation.

After major weight loss, loose skin often affects several areas. Options with Dr. Alameddine include an extended tummy tuck from $12,500, lower body lift from $16,500, arm lift from $8,500, and thigh lift from $10,500, with combined or staged plans quoted individually. Stable weight and good nutrition are important before surgery.

Labiaplasty with Dr. Khaled O. Alameddine in Coral Gables, Miami, starts at $4,500 performed awake under local anesthesia, or $5,500 with anesthesia. It reduces or reshapes the labia minora for comfort and appearance.

Risks include bleeding, infection, fluid collections, blood clots, contour irregularities, asymmetry, numbness, wound-healing problems, scarring, and anesthesia-related complications, with additional specific risks for fat transfer. Combining procedures can increase complexity. Dr. Alameddine reviews your individual risks and prevention plan before surgery.
