Body Contouring – Pennsylvania

Everyone knows that maintaining a healthy weight can be an important step in preventing disease and living longer. Most people look and feel significantly better when their weight is under control. Unfortunately, major weight loss can have undesirable side effects as well as benefits. Body contouring surgery can help to remove the loose, sagging skin left behind after weight loss. Body contouring can also remove pockets of fat that have remained unaffected by your weight loss. Doctor Hurwitz is one of the nation's leaders when it comes to body contouring. He has been featured in many articles and on television for his expertise in performing body contouring.

Body contouring surgery consists of a combination of surgical techniques. Bulges of fat beneath the skin can be removed through ultrasonic liposuction, traditional liposuction, or power assisted liposuction, and unwanted loose and sagging skin can be excised circumferentially from the body, breasts, extremities, and face. Sophisticated body contouring sculpts the features in an attractive, gender specific way. Some scarring is unavoidable, but can generally be positioned within usual undergarment lines.

Some of the risks of body contouring surgery are delayed wound healing, infection, excessive scarring, contour irregularities, asymmetry, and significant medical complications. The probability of complications are directly related to the your size and extent of body contouring surgery (the bigger you are, the more likely there will be problems). We believe that the risks are inversely related to the skill and experience of your surgeon. Doctor Hurwitz is known as a master when it comes to body contouring. He will take all steps and precautions necessary to minimize your risks and enhance the quality of your results.

:: Testimonial

"Cycling, Mountain Biking, Aerobics, Golf, Tennis, Rollerblade, all the activities I enjoyed before . . . I love my three children, but pregnancy was not kind to my body. Dr. Hurwitz put me back together and repaired all the damage caused by having three children within 3 years of each other. Six months after my first surgery (now), I am able to exercise and do all the activities I love to do with the same zeal of my pre-pregnancy days. I feel so much better about myself, both in how I see me and others see me. Who knew I could fill a dress so well, and be named “Best Dressed”? Thank you Dr. Hurwitz!" - Katherine Farnan   Best Dressed at the Heartball 2003. Photo - Pittsburgh Post Gazette
