Body
Achieving the body you envision isn’t always a matter of discipline — and it is rarely as simple as diet and exercise alone. Genetics, aging, pregnancy, and significant weight changes can leave behind excess skin, stubborn tissue, and contours that no amount of dedication at the gym can fully address. This is where surgical artistry makes the difference.
At Gryskiewicz Twin Cities Cosmetic Surgery®, we believe body contouring is far more than the removal of unwanted tissue. It is a refined, sculptural process — one that involves tailoring excess skin, reshaping soft tissue, and carefully crafting the curves, transitions, and silhouettes that make a body look and feel its best. Each procedure we perform is guided by your unique anatomy, your history, and your aesthetic goals — because no two patients are the same, and no two outcomes should be either.
During your initial consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your goals in depth and explore which procedure(s) are right for you.

Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the oldest and most well known techniques in body contouring. At our Twin Cities-based practice, we put a modern spin on liposuction. Rather than broadly removing fat, our surgeons perform high-definition (HD) liposuction, emphasizing anatomic shadows and contour. By precisely sculpting deposits of tissue that resist even the most committed diet and exercise routines, liposuction allows us to redefine the body’s natural contours and restore proportion. In order to perform liposuction, Dr. Joe, Dr. Luck, or Dr. Pan carefully introduces a slender cannula into the target area, gently removing and redistributing fat with an artist’s eye. Liposuction can be performed across a wide range of areas, including the face, neck, upper arms, trunk, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and knees.
Lipo 360
Lipo 360 takes a circumferential approach to midsection contouring, addressing the abdomen, flanks, waist, and lower back in a single, cohesive procedure. Rather than treating one isolated area at a time, this 360-degree technique allows us to sculpt the entire midsection as a unified whole — creating balance, definition, and a more athletic silhouette.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck goes beyond surface-level contouring. By addressing excess skin, fat, and the underlying abdominal muscles, abdominoplasty restores structural integrity and creates a fitter, flatter, more defined midsection. It is particularly well-suited for women whose abdominal muscles have separated or stretched following pregnancy, as well as for patients who have lost significant weight and are left with skin that no longer reflects the body they’ve worked so hard to achieve. Our surgeons go beyond the traditional tummy tuck, combining HD liposuction, precision etching, and careful attention to the belly button to create results with a level of detail and definition that standard techniques simply can’t achieve. The result is a smoother, firmer abdominal profile — and a silhouette that moves and fits clothing the way it should.

Mommy Makeover
Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding reshape the body in ways that are deeply personal — and deeply individual. The term “mommy makeover” is not a specific procedure, but rather a combination of procedures that is tailored to each patient’s desires. Our approach to postpartum restoration may include breast surgery such as a lift, augmentation, or reduction; body contouring through liposuction, abdominoplasty, or labiaplasty; or facial rejuvenation—either surgical or with injectables. Because every woman’s experience is different, every mommy makeover we design is entirely her own.

Body Lift
While an abdominoplasty recontours the front and sides of the abdomen, a body lift is an extension of this procedure that extends to the back and buttocks for patients who have undergone significant weight loss. A body lift is our most comprehensive approach to full-figure recontouring. This is not simply skin removal; a body lift at Gryskiewicz Twin Cities Cosmetic Surgery® often encompasses HD liposuction, muscle tightening, and buttock lifting and augmentation.
A body lift is an exercise in surgical tailoring — repositioning tissue, restoring natural curves, and creating the kind of athletic, balanced contours that honor the transformation you’ve already achieved. Whether your plan includes a lower body lift, belt lift, back lift, or a combination of approaches, the result is smoother transitions, improved proportion, and a body that finally reflects who you are.
CoolSculpting®
For patients seeking a non-surgical option, CoolSculpting® offers a clinically proven approach to reducing localized fat that has not responded to diet and exercise. Using precisely controlled cooling energy, the treatment targets and eliminates fat cells in specific areas, which the body then naturally clears over time. CoolSculpting® can be applied to a wide range of areas including the neck, abdomen, flanks, love handles, back, buttocks, arms, and thighs — with no incisions, no anesthesia, and no downtime.

Arm Lift
The arms are one of the most common areas where excess skin accumulates following major weight loss or with natural aging. The only consistently effective way to address “bat wings” is with surgical removal of the excess tissue. An arm lift—also known as a brachioplasty—allows us to sculpt a cleaner, more defined arm contour. The result is an arm that looks more toned, fits clothing more comfortably, and moves with greater confidence.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
The Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure that accomplishes two goals simultaneously: sculpting the donor areas — typically the abdomen, flanks, and back — while using that harvested fat to enhance the shape, projection, and contour of the buttocks. This is a natural solution for patients seeking improved backside curves, utilizing only your own tissues rather than implants to achieve your goals.
At our practice, all BBLs are performed by Dr. John Luck using real-time ultrasound guidance to ensure precise, safe fat placement at every stage of the procedure. This advanced imaging technique represents a meaningful evolution beyond traditional BBL surgery, offering a significantly safer experience without compromising the artistry of the outcome.

Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a procedure designed to recontour the external female genitalia when enlargement or asymmetry causes physical discomfort, functional limitation, or aesthetic concern. Whether a patient experiences pain from friction during exercise, irritation from clothing, or simply wishes to feel more comfortable and confident in her body, labiaplasty offers meaningful relief and a refreshed sense of feminine wellness. Our surgeons offer both common techniques such as wedge resection and edge trims, as well as less known techniques like Z-plasties, clitoral hood reductions, and labia majora augmentation and reduction. Labiaplasty can be safely and comfortably performed in our state-of-the-art procedure room in our Burnsville office under conscious sedation without the need for general anesthesia, allowing patients further convenience and a streamlined recovery.
