If you’re looking to enhance your body shape and tighten sagging skin, Oregon Cosmetic and Reconstructive Clinic (OCRC) in Happy Valley offers personalized body contouring and skin tightening procedures tailored to your goals. Serving patients from Portland, Lake Oswego, Clackamas, Gresham, and beyond, Dr. Tina Jenq and her expert team provide safe, effective solutions designed to reshape and refine your natural silhouette.
What Is Body Contouring?
Body contouring refers to a range of surgical procedures that remove stubborn fat, tighten loose skin, and improve body proportions after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. Whether you’re looking to eliminate problem areas or achieve smoother, firmer contours, body contouring can help restore confidence and comfort in your own skin.
Common Body Contouring Options at OCRC:
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes excess abdominal skin and tightens weakened muscles for a flatter, firmer midsection.
- Liposuction: Targets and eliminates localized fat deposits in the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, or flanks.
- Thigh & Arm Lifts: Removes loose skin and reshapes limbs for a smoother, toned appearance.
- Post-Weight Loss Surgery: Addresses excess skin following significant weight loss, often after bariatric surgery.
Skin Tightening Solutions
Loose or sagging skin can result from natural aging, pregnancy, or rapid weight changes. At OCRC, we combine surgical and minimally invasive techniques to help improve skin elasticity and support more youthful contours.
Benefits of Skin Tightening at OCRC:
- Firmer, more youthful-looking skin
- Enhanced body shape and proportion
- Long-lasting, natural-looking results
- Personalized treatment planning with a board-certified plastic surgeon
Scar Placement and Aesthetic Considerations
Due to the extent of tissue removal, scars are an inevitable part of post-weight loss body contouring. When feasible, some incisions can be hidden in following areas:
- Under the breasts or in natural folds
- Along the bikini line
- Inside the arms and thighs
While scars are permanent, they typically fade significantly over time, and most patients feel the tradeoff is well worth the improved contour and comfort.
Recovery Timeline and What to Expect
Recovery depends on the number and type of procedures performed. Dr. Jenq will guide you with a personalized post-op plan.
- Surgery Duration: 3–6 hours (or staged over multiple sessions)
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia
- Downtime: 2–4 weeks off work depending on procedure and type of work
- Drains and Compression Garments: Used to reduce swelling and aid healing
- Activity Restrictions: No heavy lifting or intense activity for 6 weeks
- Final Results: Visible in 3–6 months, continue improving for up to 1 year
Are You a Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for body contouring after weight loss if:
- You have lost 50 lbs or more and maintained your weight for 6+ months
- You are in good overall health and do not smoke
- You have realistic expectations regarding scars and results
- You experience excess, sagging skin that interferes with your lifestyle
