Waistline Reshaping Specialist
As we age, the waistline becomes harder and harder to manage, even with a healthful diet and consistent exercise. Whether you’re after an hourglass figure or a tapered, fit look, Dr. Rocco Piazza at The Piazza Center in Austin, Texas, is here to help you achieve the body of your dreams.
A sculpted,
masculine build.
A board-certified surgeon, Dr. Piazza is one of the foremost experts in waistline reshaping and body contouring for men. He understands how important body image is for most guys, and how tough it can be to hold solid self-esteem when self-conscious about your body — building muscle and contouring the body through exercise as an adult is extremely difficult for most.
With waistline reshaping, Dr. Piazza can create a ‘cut look,’ narrowing the abdomen as it reaches the hips, like a surfer. For those more interested in a boxer’s build, he can maintain an attractive sense of width while still highlighting the abdominal muscles. Dr. Piazza is also one of the few surgeons certified to perform BodyBanking procedures, which are particularly successful in creating a more masculine build.
Waist Contouring &
Mommy Makeover.
Childbirth, the effects of aging, and the pace of everyday life can transform a woman’s body over time. For women who wish to regain a snatched waist, Dr. Piazza performs waist contouring as part of a comprehensive mommy makeover, sculpting a torso proportional to the breasts and hips. His work is known for looking completely natural — a top request from female patients.

Why Choose Waistline Reshaping
The benefits
of a defined waist.
Waistline reshaping creates a slimmer, more defined waist for a balanced and aesthetically pleasing figure.
- 01
Defined Waistline
Defines the waist for an hourglass or athletic figure.
- 02
Stubborn Fat, Gone
Removes stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise.
- 03
Optional Muscle Tightening
Can include muscle tightening for enhanced abdominal tone.
- 04
Improved Proportion
Improves overall body proportions and posture, helping achieve a more youthful, contoured midsection.
Is waistline reshaping
right for you?
Waistline reshaping enhances the contours of the midsection for a more defined waist. It’s ideal for individuals close to their goal weight with persistent fat or skin in that area.
The Process
What Happens During Waistline Reshaping Surgery?
There is no standard way to perform waistline reshaping surgery — every patient has their own image goals and a unique body and medical history. Depending on the scope of correction desired, waistline reshaping can include liposuction, manipulation of the rib bones and abdominal muscles, and the trimming of excess fat and skin tissue.
During your consultation, Dr. Piazza will inform you about the options available to help you reach your desired look, and explain the recovery process in detail — answering every question so you can make a knowledgeable decision with confidence.

Investment
Cost & financing.
Waistline reshaping is fully customized, so cost depends on the scope of correction — whether liposuction alone or a more involved combination with muscle work. These procedures are considered cosmetic and are usually not covered by insurance. Dr. Piazza provides a comprehensive estimate after your consultation, and flexible financing is available through Cherry, CareCredit®, and PatientFi.
What to Expect
Your recovery,
step by step.
- 01
The First Few Weeks
Bruising, swelling, and discomfort are expected. Dr. Piazza works with you on prescription pain management as needed.
- 02
3–4 Weeks
Strenuous activity and exercise must be avoided until cleared. Most patients resume work and social activities in about 3–4 weeks, though some take longer.
- 03
Ongoing Follow-Up
Dr. Piazza diligently tracks each patient during recovery, spending as much time with them as needed to ensure everything is healing smoothly.
- 04
Several Months
It takes several months for healing to fully complete and the final contour to be revealed.
Since waistline reshaping varies so much between patients, Dr. Piazza creates a recovery guide tailored specifically to your surgery and goals.
Results
Finally, Feel at Home in Your Body
Dr. Piazza loves seeing the exuberance and renewed self-confidence that patients gain after waistline reshaping. That self-assurance spreads into every aspect of their lives.
For those seeking a feminine contour, your breasts, hips, and waist will be harmoniously balanced with lovely, natural-looking curves. Patients who wish for a masculinized abdomen will see their torso slimmer, leaner, and more defined.
