Dr. Maleeh Effendi is a Plastic Surgeon specializing in advanced body contouring, removing excess skin, sculpting the waistline, and creating natural-looking, balanced results
Dr. Maleeh Effendi takes a personalized approach to Lipo 360 with Fat Transfer, beginning each consultation with a detailed evaluation of body proportions, fat distribution, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. His objective is to create a more balanced silhouette by removing stubborn fat from multiple areas of the torso while strategically enhancing natural curves through fat transfer.
Using advanced body contouring techniques, Dr. Effendi carefully sculpts the abdomen, flanks, back, and waistline to improve overall definition and harmony. Fat collected during the procedure may be transferred to areas such as the hips or buttocks when appropriate, helping create smoother transitions and more proportionate contours.
Throughout the process, patients receive individualized recommendations, realistic expectations, and a structured recovery plan designed to support healing and long-lasting results. To further enhance body contouring outcomes, Dr. Effendi often combines Lipo 360 and Fat Transfer with Renuvion skin tightening, helping improve skin contraction and create smoother, more refined contours.
Dr. Maleeh Effendi specializes in Drainless Abdominoplasty, an advanced approach to Tummy Tuck surgery designed to remove excess abdominal skin, restore a firmer midsection, and improve body contours without the routine use of post-operative drains.
Many patients are concerned about abdominoplasty scars, visible incisions, drains, and post-operative pain. Dr. Effendi’s technique is designed to minimize these concerns through a low abdominal incision that is typically concealed by underwear and swimwear, a fine-line scar, and a completely drainless approach. Compared to traditional drain-based abdominoplasty techniques, recovery is often up to 50% faster, and most patients are managing discomfort with Tylenol and ibuprofen by the second week after surgery.
Every treatment plan begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the abdomen, skin elasticity, muscle separation, and overall body proportions. When appropriate, abdominal muscles can be repaired and tightened while excess skin is removed to create a flatter, smoother abdominal profile. Patients receive detailed guidance before and after surgery, along with a personalized recovery plan designed to promote healing and natural-looking results.

Pregnancy, weight changes, aging, and genetics can leave excess skin, stubborn fat, and contours that resist diet and exercise.
For many patients, a surgical approach is the most effective path to a flatter abdomen and balanced proportions.
Dr. Maleeh Effendi evaluates each patient’s skin quality, fat distribution, muscle laxity, and aesthetic goals to develop a fully personalized plan, whether through Drainless Abdominoplasty, Lipo 360 with Fat Transfer, or a combination of both.
Patients return to daily activities the day after surgery and are back to workouts by two weeks, with recovery continuing to progress over the following weeks as swelling gradually improves and body contours become more defined. Recovery timelines vary depending on the procedures performed and each patient’s individual healing process.
