About Body Procedures
Dr. Doumit performs a comprehensive range of body procedures that address concerns such as excess skin, stubborn fat, and changes to the body following pregnancy, weight loss, or natural aging. He performs every procedure with meticulous attention to detail to create natural contours and proportional results. Our offered body procedures include
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, resulting in a firmer and more toned appearance. (1) This procedure benefits individuals who experience sagging or loose skin due to aging, genetics, or major weight loss. Dr. Doumit carefully sculpts the arms by tightening the underlying tissues and removing excess skin, creating smoother and more defined contours.
Body Lift
A body lift is a comprehensive procedure that reshapes and improves the tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. It best suits patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and experience loose, hanging skin around the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs. (2) Dr. Doumit customizes each body lift to suit the patient’s body type and goals, combining techniques to remove excess skin, tighten muscles, and restore firmness. The result is a smoother and more youthful body contour that reflects the patient’s hard-earned weight loss results.
Buttock Augmentation
Buttock augmentation enhances the size, shape, and projection of the buttocks to create a more balanced and attractive silhouette. (3) Dr. Doumit performs both fat transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift) and implant-based augmentation, depending on each patient’s anatomy and desired results.
Through advanced surgical artistry, Dr. Doumit can sculpt the buttocks to appear fuller, rounder, and more youthful, while maintaining harmony with the rest of the body. He prioritizes safety and uses precise injection techniques for fat transfer procedures to reduce risk and ensure beautiful, natural results.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty reshapes and reduces the size of the labia minora or labia majora for both aesthetic and functional improvement. (4) Many women undergo this treatment to address discomfort caused by enlarged or asymmetrical labial tissue, which can interfere with physical activity or cause self-consciousness. Patients often report greater comfort and confidence after healing.
Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most versatile and common body procedures. It removes stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. (5) Dr. Doumit offers several advanced techniques, including tumescent and ultrasound-assisted liposuction, to achieve precise fat removal and smooth contours. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, and neck. By selectively removing excess fat, Dr. Doumit helps patients achieve a leaner, more sculpted appearance without compromising natural body proportions.
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift targets excess skin and fat along the inner or outer thighs, improving the leg’s overall shape and tone. (6) This procedure particularly benefits patients who experience weight fluctuations or skin laxity due to aging. Dr. Doumit carefully tightens and recontours the thighs, removing redundant skin and sculpting a more youthful, firm appearance. The result is smoother skin, improved comfort, and a more proportionate lower body.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
The tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is one of the most popular procedures at Dr. Doumit’s Montreal clinic. It removes excess fat and skin from the abdominal area while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles. (7) Dr. Doumit tailors each tummy tuck to suit the patient’s body type, whether that means a full abdominoplasty for more dramatic reshaping or a mini tummy tuck for subtle refinement. The result is a flatter, firmer, and more contoured abdomen that enhances the overall body profile.

Preparation
We will provide personalized preoperative instructions to each patient. These will differ depending on the procedures included in your plan and your medical history, but in general, preparation may include:
- Avoiding nicotine for several weeks before and after surgery
- Discontinuing blood-thinning medications or supplements as advised
- Arranging transportation to and from the surgical facility
- Planning adequate recovery time away from work or physical activity
- Following all the provided dietary and hygiene guidelines before surgery
Following these steps will help ensure a smooth procedure and recovery.
Procedure
The execution of your procedure will vary depending on your anatomy and treatment plan. We perform most body surgeries with the patient under anesthesia for maximum comfort and safety. Dr. Doumit uses meticulous surgical techniques to minimize scarring and create natural-looking contours. In many cases, he combines multiple procedures within one session to achieve comprehensive results, such as pairing a tummy tuck with liposuction or performing an arm lift alongside a body lift. His expertise allows him to produce tailored, balanced, and aesthetically refined outcomes that meet patient goals.
Recovery and Results
After surgery, patients will need to rest and avoid strenuous activities. We recommend wearing compression garments to minimize swelling and support healing. Patients will also experience bruising and tightness during the first few weeks, but these will gradually subside.
Dr. Doumit provides detailed postoperative care instructions and schedules follow-up visits to monitor each patient’s progress. As the body continues to heal, contours become more defined, and final results reveal a smoother, firmer, and more sculpted physique. Most patients notice significant improvement within several weeks, with continued refinement over the next few months. Results are long-lasting, especially when patients maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The type of procedures you undergo will influence the cost of your treatment plan. Factors such as surgical complexity, anesthesia fees, and recovery requirements also influence the price.
