BODY SCULPTING

Reshape, Refine, and Reclaim Confidence

At La Belle Vie in Wilmington, NC, our body sculpting procedures are designed for patients who want to address loose skin, stubborn fat, or post-pregnancy changes. Whether you're recovering from weight loss or looking to restore your pre-baby shape, our surgical options combine artistry and precision to deliver natural-looking results.

Body Contouring

The emotional distress of going through a lengthy weight loss journey can linger long after all the weight is gone. You may get rid of fat, but you don’t get rid of the skin. As a result, you have lots of saggy excess skin that can be unsightly and make you feel self-conscious. By using tried and tested surgical procedures, body contouring can give you a full-scale body lift. It takes care of your excess skin, leaving everything much tighter.

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty is also known as a ‘tummy tuck,’ and this procedure is ideal for anyone with stretched skin or a ‘pooch’ appearance around their abdominals. Many women suffer from diastasis - which is where your abdominal muscles separate and cause your stomach to look constantly distended. This happens after pregnancy, and abdominoplasty is here to fix it. It’s a 2-3 hour procedure, and we ensure that your abs are tightened, excess skin is removed and any under-the-skin fat is taken away. If exercises and dieting haven’t helped, then this procedure will bring the relief you need.

Fleur de lis

Along with a standard abdominoplasty, a Fleur de Lis procedure can help remove as much excess skin and fat as possible. It adds a vertical incision to the horizontal one from a tummy tuck, and it allows you to reveal the hourglass figure you worked so hard to achieve. Now, your weight loss journey is truly complete.

Panniculectomy

Not the most common surgical procedure, but an effective one nonetheless. With this surgery, the focus is on removing the small ‘pooch’ in your stomach under local anesthesia with a hip to hip incision. Excess skin is taken out, but there’s no muscle repair - which differs from a traditional abdominoplasty. As a result, the recovery time is far shorter for you.

Belt lipectomy

If you have lots of saggy skin on the rear side of your body, then this procedure is perfect. It removes the excess skin you have as a result of weight loss, tightening up your flank and buttocks. As a bonus, it will also lift the buttock to give a more proportional and shapely effect. Speaking of which, these results will last a lifetime, meaning you can show off the body you worked hard to achieve.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a solution for anyone that’s trying to lose weight but have some troublesome areas that aren’t responding to exercise or a healthy diet. This usually includes the abs, buttocks, and thighs. We offer the best liposuction in Wilmington NC, which will remove the subcutaneous fat that lives under the skin and adds extra inches where you don’t need them. This will improve your figure and make you feel far better about your weight loss journey.

Mommy Makeover

Our Mommy Makeover procedure is popular among many women who’ve decided their childbearing days are finished. It’s a lengthy procedure, but you’ll have the full works. This includes a mixture of the body contour procedures mentioned earlier, along with possible breast augmentations as well. The result will take you back to the years before you had your first child!

Labiaplasty

Women with large or irregular labia will often feel embarrassed and self-conscious during sexual interactions. With this procedure, we will rejuvenate and reduce the overall appearance of the labia minora. As a result, you will be able to wear tight clothes without feeling self-conscious and can discover more sexual confidence as well.

All of our body procedures will include a face-to-face consultation with our specialist surgeons. During which, there will be a discussion to figure out whether or not you’re right for the treatment. If you’re interested in body contouring and want to see results that will boost your self-esteem, then get in touch with us today. We’ll book you in for the initial consultation, and take things from there.

Leslye always does a great job! She was even able to balance out my lips after I got filler in Cary by a different provider that left my top lip uneven.

I have had IPL, TruSculpt, Botox, filler and UltraClear with Leslye and Amy. I have darker skin(IPL), they have been very cautious with their recommendations and they have all proven to be correct.

If you are looking for an honest opinion, please do not hesitate to visit Leslye or Amy.

Plus, all of Dr. Church’s staff are amazing and kind. Couldn’t have found a better place for me in Wilmington!

I can’t say enough good things about Leslye! She is incredibly honest and prioritizes what will actually look best, not just doing more for the sake of it. Her technique is amazing; everything looks natural, balanced, and refreshed every single time. I truly appreciate that she wants you to look like the best version of yourself, not overdone. I trust her completely and would not go to anyone else. Highly recommend!

Dr.Sheck did an excellent work on my tummy tuck surgery. The outcome is more than I expected. I have a flat tummy with a small line that’s perfect. I did my research and seen many lines that I hoped I didn’t get. He’s is straight what I hoped Also, they have 5 stars and been number one best surgeons for years. All staffs were very attentive. It’s been three months since my surgery and I’ve never felt more confident in myself. I am telling all my friends and family because we all deserve to go to the right places when it comes to something like this.
Thank you sooo muchhh everyone!

I definitely did my research beforehand and the team at la Belle vie Plastic Surgery greatly exceeded my expectations! From the moment you walk in the door, everyone is super friendly and helpful. The environment is comforting, yet professional. Leslye did a fantastic job with my Botox and filler! Dr. Sheck and his team did my surgeries and I have been over the moon with the results! Amy took very good care of me during my lymphatic massage! I had actually never had a massage before, fearing that that may be awkward, but Amy made me feel extremely comfortable and was very knowledgeable on the importance of massage after surgery. Overall, the entire experience was such a blessing!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have chosen Dr. Church and La Belle Vie for my breast augmentation. After waiting many years to take the leap, I did my research and decided to make a consultation. From the first day I met Dr. Church, I knew he was the perfect doctor to trust such a personal procedure with. He and his team were extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient when I explain some of my anxieties and questions regarding the surgery. I feel, nowadays, it is so common to feel like doctors don't always do a good job listening or they're trying to rush through your appointment, but at La Belle Vie, they truly make you feel important, cared for and respected. Doctor Church and his staff did an incredible job helping me decide sizing, placement, etc. when I wasn't completely sure what was best for me. The procedure went absolutely perfectly, and Doctor Church called precisely at the time he promised that night to check on how I was feeling. I actually healed from my surgery in a much quicker time than they told me to expect I would, and I truly believe a lot of that has to do with Dr. Church's skill level, attention to detail, and high standard of cleanliness he upholds in his office. I may be biased in saying this, but I truly believe that I must've received the BEST set of boobs he's ever placed, because they are literally perfect. They look natural, the size fits my small frame incredibly, and I can't even begin to describe how much confidence this surgery has given me. I highly recommend La Belle Vie Plastic Surgery and am incredibly thankful to all on staff for such a wonderful, life changing experience. You rock!

Leslye was amazing!!! My lips are still slightly swollen since it’s only been three days but I can tell that the shape and size of my lips are exactly what I wanted. A total difference from the previous time I received filler and got duck lips as a result. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and very skilled. Listened to what I wanted and provided!

Dr. Church and the nursing staff were all incredible, attentive, and welcoming. Dr. Church was recommended to me by an acquaintance for a breast reduction. I came in for a consultation and immediately felt comfortable and welcomed by everyone I met. Pricing and scheduling are very reasonable and accommodating as well. Surgery day and post op all went very smoothly and I never felt like an inconvenience with all my questions or concerns. I highly recommend for any cosmetic treatments.
