Body sculpting at Youthful Images isn't just about removing fat. It's about bringing out the shape and balance that already exists in your body. Dr. Patrick Felice approaches every procedure like an artist with a canvas—carefully, skillfully, and with attention to what looks natural for you.
With decades of experience, our fully trained plastic surgeons offer both surgical and non-surgical body contouring procedures. You won't be sent off to a tech or assistant. Your consultation and treatment will be guided by experts, start to finish, in a fully accredited surgical facility that feels more like a boutique medical center than a hospital.
Body sculpting is a way to fine-tune your shape when diet and exercise just aren't cutting it. These treatments target areas of body fat that seem stuck, no matter how much effort you put in. They can also help smooth out extra skin, especially after weight loss.
At Youthful Images, we offer surgical options like liposuction and fat transfer as well as non-surgical options like radiofrequency or cold-based treatments. We'll talk with you about what you're looking for and help you pick what fits best with your body and your life.
Liposuction is great for reducing fat in areas like the belly, thighs, back, or upper arms. Our surgeons use a sculpting approach—this isn't just about removing fat; it's about creating smooth, natural-looking contours. Liposuction can be combined with other procedures or done on its own, depending on your goals.
Fat transfer takes fat from one part of your body and moves it to another area that could use some volume, like the face, breasts, or buttocks. It's a great way to add fullness without implants, using your own tissue. Plus, it helps contour the area where the fat was removed.
Body sculpting helps people feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin. If you're close to your goal weight but still have a few trouble spots, or if you've lost weight and now have loose skin, these treatments can really help bring everything together. Some of the biggest benefits include:
You can treat one area or several, depending on your goals. Some people want to sculpt their midsection, while others want to add shape to their buttocks or restore volume in the face. Our team will help you figure out what makes sense for your body. Common areas include:
The best candidates for Body Sculpting in Avon are people who are already at or close to their ideal weight but who have stubborn fat, loose skin, or areas they want to reshape.

If you have serious health issues, blood clotting disorders, poor skin elasticity, or significant weight fluctuations, you may need to talk with your doctor to see if body sculpting is right for you. A consultation with our team will give you clear answers on your options and whether you're a good match for a particular treatment.
Body sculpting can target more than just unwanted fat. It's helpful for reshaping areas where the skin has stretched or muscles have lost tone. We can also use fat transfer to restore lost volume in places like the cheeks or chest. It can help with:
At your consultation, we'll talk openly about your goals, what your body is like now, and what you want to change. We'll go over your medical history, answer your questions, and explain which options make the most sense. Before your procedure, we might ask you to:
We'll walk you through all of this during your pre-op visit so you feel fully prepared and supported every step of the way.
Each Farmington body sculpting procedure is different. Surgical options like liposuction or fat transfer are usually done with general or local anesthesia and may take a few hours. Non-surgical treatments are done right in our office and usually take under an hour. We'll explain all the details so you know what to expect.
Recovery depends on what kind of treatment you have. For surgery, you might need to take it easy for a few days or up to two weeks. Swelling and bruising are normal but usually fade over time. Non-surgical options often have little to no downtime, so you can get back to work or life the same day.
Results will vary depending on the treatment. With liposuction or fat transfer, you'll see changes pretty quickly once the swelling goes down. Final results with body sculpting may take a few months to settle in. For non-surgical treatments, results tend to appear more gradually over a few weeks or months, especially if you need more than one session.
To get the best and longest-lasting results with body sculpting, follow your surgeon's aftercare instructions closely. Things like wearing compression garments, staying hydrated, and maintaining your weight really do matter. We'll go over everything you need to know and keep checking in on your progress.
