Steven Carp, M.D.
Dr. Carp has more than 25 years of experience as a board-certified Plastic Surgeon. As a well-known cosmetic enhancement expert, he works closely with his patients from the initial consultation through aftercare, using a warm, personalized approach. Body contouring procedures performed by Dr. Steven Carp at his Uniontown and Beachwood, OH clinics can help patients in the Cleveland, Canton, and Akron areas regain their self-esteem or achieve the desired body shape.
Tummy Tuck
Abdominoplasty, better known as a “tummy tuck,” is a surgical procedure for tightening the abdominal muscles and getting rid of extra fat and skin from the lower and middle parts of the abdomen.
Men and women who are in reasonably good physical shape but unhappy with the extra fat in their abdominal area, loose abdominal wall muscles, or sagging abdominal skin that resists diet and exercise are good tummy tuck candidates. This procedure is especially suited for women who, due to multiple pregnancies, have had their abdominal skin and muscles stretched to the point where they can no longer return to their normal condition.
Procedures We Offer
Facelifts are ideal for men and women who are between the ages of 40 and 60, but the surgery is also beneficial for patients up to 80 years old.
Call Carp Cosmetic today to find out if you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to provide shape and contour to the body by getting rid of excess fat from specific locations, such as the buttocks, thighs, belly, knees, hips, chin, neck, cheeks, and upper arms. While liposuction is not meant to replace regular exercise and a healthy diet, it is helpful for removing unwanted body fat that won’t respond to healthy lifestyle practices.
Liposuction is best suited to individuals of a healthy weight who have isolated areas of excessive body fat. Age isn’t a major consideration, but some older individuals can have a loss of skin elasticity and may not see the same results as younger people with tighter skin.
Contact Carp Cosmetic to find out if liposuction is right for you.
Other Body Contouring
People often grow dissatisfied with the appearance of their body as they grow older. Body contouring is a set of procedures that can tighten and smooth skin, reduce fat, and develop contours in parts of the body where exercise and diet have not helped. Some common body contouring procedures include arm lifts, 'Mommy Makeovers', body lifts, and more.
Some body areas may be harder to tone and firm than others, regardless of your diet and exercise routine. Body contouring allows you to have a fitter appearance when conventional methods such as diet and exercise prove unsuccessful. It is not meant to replace exercise and weight loss, but rather to complement your efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Fat Can Liposuction Remove?
Surgeons, including Dr. Carp, follow guidelines that set a maximum limit of 5,000 milliliters of fat to be removed from a patient through liposuction, regardless of their body composition. Talk to Dr. Carp about your expectations and cosmetic goals during your one-on-one consultation to make sure liposuction is the right cosmetic treatment for you.
Does a Tummy Tuck Remove Fat?
A tummy tuck is a surgical cosmetic procedure aimed to remove excess skin and associated fat from the midsection for a tighter, flatter tummy. While a tummy tuck may remove some of the fat around your belly, we recommend considering liposuction in conjunction with your tummy tuck for the ultimate slimmed appearance.
What Anesthesia is Used for Body Contouring Procedures?
General anesthesia is typically used, however, different kinds of anesthesia can be used for certain body contouring procedures. You and Dr. Carp will work together to choose the anesthesia that offers the greatest safety, effectiveness, and comfort for your particular surgery.
How Much Do These Procedures Cost?
Body Contouring procedures are considered to be elective, so most insurance providers won’t cover the costs. To help make body contouring affordable and accessible for everyone, Carp Cosmetic Surgery Center offers financing options.
