Many areas of the body can be addressed through surgery or aesthetic treatments. At Robey Plastic Surgery & Regenerative Medicine in Carmel, IN, we offer options to refine areas like the thighs, hands, and even knees. Whether you’re addressing aging, skin laxity, or contour irregularities, we provide a range of approaches based on the anatomy of each area.

Surgical technique and experience matter because fat distribution, muscle tone, and skin quality vary, and not every concern can be resolved with one method. We offer surgical and regenerative options to help address both structural and surface-level concerns in targeted regions.

Knee Rejuvenation and Contouring

The knees often show signs of aging through skin laxity, fat accumulation, or volume loss around the joint. Depending on your anatomy and goals, we may address these concerns using a combination of fat grafting, skin tightening, and liposuction. For some patients, we remove small fat deposits to improve contour and definition. Others may benefit more from adding volume to smooth hollows or soften the appearance of bony structures. Knee contouring can be combined with procedures on the thighs or calves for a more cohesive outcome.

Thigh Contouring and Lifting

The thighs often accumulate fat and experience skin laxity that does not respond to diet or exercise. Depending on your needs, we may use body sculpting techniques such as liposuction, skin excision, minimally invasive skin tightening or a combination of the above. Thigh lifts allow us to remove excess tissue and tighten the area, especially along the inner thigh. For patients with significant skin looseness, surgical lifting is often more effective than noninvasive methods. We customize the surgical plan based on your skin quality, fat distribution, and desired outcome.

Hand Rejuvenation

The hands tend to lose volume over time, making tendons, veins, and bones more visible. We often use fat transfer or dermal fillers to restore fullness and create a smoother appearance. In some cases, laser treatments or microneedling can improve skin texture and pigmentation. Many patients notice their hands age faster than their faces, so addressing volume loss early can help maintain a more balanced appearance.

Your Body Procedure Journey

Initial Consultation

During your consultation, we review your concerns and evaluate the specific areas you want to address. We will examine your skin, fat distribution, and overall anatomy to determine which approach makes the most sense for your body. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss expectations, and review your treatment options in detail. Whether you are considering knee contouring, thigh lifting, or hand rejuvenation, the goal is to build a clear surgical plan that fits you.

Preparation

We will provide detailed instructions ahead of your surgery to help you prepare both physically and logistically. Depending on the procedure, you may need lab work, medical clearance, or adjustments to medications. Patients undergoing cosmetic plastic surgery should also arrange for someone to drive them home and help during their initial recovery. Following preoperative guidelines closely helps reduce risk and support a smoother healing process.

Day of Procedure

You will arrive at the surgical facility with enough time to check in and review the final details of your procedure. After marking the treatment areas and answering any last questions, we proceed with anesthesia and surgery. Most of these procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home the same day. Dr. Robey provides recovery instructions before discharge so you know exactly what to expect in the hours and days following your surgery.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery will look a little different depending on which procedure you have and how your body responds to surgery. Swelling, bruising, and soreness are normal in the first several days, and we will guide you through how to manage each phase. Most patients can return to light activity within a week, but you should avoid strenuous movement until Dr. Robey clears you. As healing progresses, we will monitor your results and make sure everything is on track.

Combining Body Procedures

Dr. Robey frequently combines these body surgeries with others to address multiple areas in one surgical setting, depending on your goals and overall health:

Liposuction

Often paired with knee or thigh contouring to remove excess fat and refine shape in adjacent areas. This can create a more balanced appearance across the lower body.

Abdominoplasty

When skin laxity or muscle separation affects the abdomen as well as the thighs or flanks, a tummy tuck can be performed alongside thigh lifting for more comprehensive results.

Breast Procedures

For patients seeking full-body rejuvenation, breast augmentation, lift, or reduction can be combined with body contouring surgeries to eliminate the need for multiple recoveries.

Facial Rejuvenation

In some cases, facial procedures such as a facelift, blepharoplasty, or Morpheus8 treatments may be combined with body surgery when appropriate, allowing patients to address aging across multiple regions in one operative plan.
