Body Surgery
Body procedures cover contouring after pregnancy, major weight change, GLP-1 assisted weight loss, and localized fullness. From tummy tuck and mommy makeover to liposuction and post-weight-loss contouring, each is planned around your anatomy, goals, and recovery.
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, removes excess abdominal skin and can tighten separated abdominal muscles when appropriate. In Cherry Creek, Dr. Eric Barker, MD, plans tummy tuck surgery around skin laxity, abdominal wall support, incision placement, and whether liposuction or mommy makeover procedures should be combined.
A mommy makeover is a personalized combination of breast and body procedures that may include tummy tuck, breast lift, augmentation, reduction, and liposuction. At Peak Plastic Surgery Center, the plan is built around the patient's anatomy, family timing, recovery window, and priorities rather than a fixed package.
Liposuction reduces localized fat pockets to refine contour in areas such as the abdomen, waist, flanks, arms, thighs, or neck. In his Denver planning, Dr. Eric Barker, MD, distinguishes fat reduction from skin tightening so patients understand when liposuction alone is appropriate and when a lift or tummy tuck may be better.
VASER liposuction is an ultrasound-assisted liposuction option used in selected body contouring plans. At Peak Plastic Surgery Center, it is presented as one possible tool, not a universal upgrade, and is chosen only when it fits the patient's anatomy, skin quality, and contour goals.
Body contouring is a broader planning category for patients who want to refine shape after pregnancy, weight change, GLP-1 assisted weight loss, or localized fat concerns. Dr. Eric Barker, MD, evaluates skin, fat distribution, muscle support, scars, and recovery timing to recommend the right procedure sequence.
Body contouring after weight loss addresses loose skin and contour changes that may remain after major weight reduction. In his Denver planning, Dr. Eric Barker, MD, focuses on stable weight, skin quality, procedure sequence, scars, recovery capacity, and whether tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, or related procedures should be staged.
Post-GLP-1 body contouring helps patients evaluate loose skin, localized fat, and shape changes after medication-assisted weight loss. Because timing after medication-assisted weight loss is individual, recommendations are made only after a private consultation with Dr. Eric Barker, MD.
A Brazilian butt lift, or BBL, uses liposuction to remove fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or back and transfers a portion of that fat to the buttocks to add volume and improve shape. It is a serious surgical procedure. At Peak Plastic Surgery Center in Denver, Dr. Eric Barker, MD, reviews anatomy, available donor fat, skin quality, health history, and safety considerations before recommending whether a BBL is appropriate.
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, removes loose, hanging skin and excess fat from the upper arm between the armpit and the elbow, tightening the contour of the arm. It is most often considered after major weight loss or when skin has lost elasticity with age. At Peak Plastic Surgery Center in Denver, Dr. Eric Barker, MD, plans each arm lift around how much loose skin is present, where it sits, and the scar the patient is prepared to accept in exchange for a tighter arm.
A thigh lift, or thighplasty, removes loose skin and excess fat from the inner or outer thigh to tighten and reshape the upper leg. It is most often considered after major weight loss, when the skin no longer matches the contour beneath it. At Peak Plastic Surgery Center in Denver, Dr. Eric Barker, MD, plans each thigh lift around where the laxity sits, how much skin needs to be removed, and the scar pattern that fits the patient's goals.
