What Is Body Contouring?

Body contouring encompasses treatments that reduce stubborn fat, enhance muscle tone, smooth texture irregularities, or increase volume in areas that don’t fully respond to diet and exercise. At StudioMD Soho, this may involve fat-freezing technology, collagen stimulation, injectable fat reduction, or next-generation muscle building.

Your provider evaluates areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, waistline, or buttocks and creates a plan that prioritizes Smartlipo, CoolSculpting, PCDC Lipodissolve, Sculptra buttlift, and cellulite reduction when appropriate. Additional options, such as Emsculpt NEO, may be recommended to complement these core treatments. Every recommendation is grounded in proportion, balance, and realistic outcomes.

Body Contouring Treatments in Soho, NYC

Smartlipo (Laser Lipolysis)

A minimally invasive treatment that uses laser energy to liquefy fat and tighten tissue. Smartlipo is ideal for individuals seeking more dramatic definition in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, chin, or arms. Recovery is typically quick, with long-lasting sculpting benefits.

CoolSculpting for Fat Reduction

A noninvasive fat-freezing treatment that permanently reduces stubborn fat pockets in the arms, abdomen, flanks, thighs, and back. Results appear gradually as the body clears the frozen fat cells.

PCDC Lipodissolve

An injectable treatment that dissolves small, localized fat deposits. Excellent for fine-tuned contouring of areas like the chin, upper arms, lower abdomen, or bra-line bulges.

Sculptra Buttlift

A nonsurgical approach to enhancing volume, curvature, and lift using collagen stimulation. Results appear gradually and remain natural to your proportions without implants or surgical downtime.

Cellulite Reduction

Targets the structural causes of dimpling beneath the skin. This treatment helps smooth, firm, and refine texture across the thighs, hips, abdomen, and buttocks.

Hyperhidrosis Sweat Reduction

A Botox-, Dysport-, or Xeomin-based treatment that significantly reduces excessive sweating in the underarms, palms, feet, or other localized areas. This option enhances comfort and confidence throughout daily activities.

Emsculpt NEO

A next-generation, noninvasive treatment that combines radiofrequency fat reduction with electromagnetic muscle stimulation. Emsculpt NEO builds muscle while reducing fat in the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, or arms.

I had a few procedures done at StudioMD. I was very satisfied with the service Dr. Sadaf Qazi and her team provided. They kept me informed throughout the process. The doctor and her team was easy to reach after my surgery. I would highly recommend StudioMD.

Dr. Qazi and her entire staff have warm and welcoming demeanors, a high degree of hospitality, positive attitudes, always smiling and acting with the utmost level of respect, patient care, and making each patient feel special. They focus on client comfort and take their time with each person answering any and all questions. Dr. Qazi never rushes her appointments. She takes the time to listen to every concern and is thorough in each interaction I've had with her. She gave me her personal cell number so even during nights and weekends if a concern or question arises I am able to contact her for a mini evaluation of my issue or answering of my questions. The care I've received has continued long after the procedure was completed and I am so glad that I chose her to do my tummy tuck and liposuction. The results are outstanding and she is the only one I would trust to do any cosmetic procedures going forward.

I went to StudioMD's midtown location for laser tattoo removal. Jennifer is extremely personable, she ensured expectations for the amount of sessions needed for removal as well as ensured my comfort during the treatment. I chose to purchase a package for 6-sessions, and would consider seeking other treatments from StudioMD in the future. Would definitely recommend them to others, and in particular recommend working with Jennifer.

I recently had a SmartLipo procedure with Dr. Khan at Studio MD, and I could not be happier with the entire experience. From my very first consultation to the post-op follow-ups, Dr. Khan demonstrated exceptional professionalism, skill, and care. What really stood out to me was his communication. He took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answer every single question I had (and I had a lot!), and never made me feel rushed. He made sure I understood exactly what to expect before, during, and after the procedure, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Dr. Khan's attention to detail is second to none. He was incredibly meticulous with his work, ensuring that everything was done with precision and care. I felt completely confident in his hands, and the results have exceeded my expectations. His thoroughness also extends to aftercare. He gave me clear post-op instructions, and made sure my recovery was smooth. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and takes pride in delivering excellent outcomes. If you're considering SmartLipo or any cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Khan. His expertise, communication, and attention to every little detail make him one of the best in the field. Thank you, Dr. Khan and the team at Studio MD!

I recently went into StudioMD to have a procedure done by Dr. Khan. Specifically, I wanted to treat excess fat in my abdominal area and decided to opt for smart lipo. Dr. Khan is very sure of himself as a doctor, which put a lot of my woes to the side. This was my first large cosmetic surgery, so I was extremely nervous. On the day of my procedure, I was delayed because some events were happening in the city, and Dr. Khan and his nurses were extremely accommodating. They let me take my time (I had to pee and just couldn't because of nerves until 2 minutes before surgery) and even gave me pep talks and stress balls to calm my nerves. When we got to work, it was quick and effortless. Dr. Khan allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted and even called the next day to see how I was doing. They prescribed meds that were ready for pickup immediately and even gave me additional meds that I asked for pain management just in case. One of the amazing nurse technicians even text me afterward and shared her favorite shapewear and other things to help with recovery. I know many of these things seem like, "yeah, they should do that", but I've seen a lot of practices that don't. I also felt the price was fairly affordable since I've seen similar pricing outside of NYC. I'm beginning to feel beautiful in my body again, and I am so thankful to Dr. Khan and his staff. I'll be back soon for some other small cosmetic procedures I want to keep up.

I was referred to Dr. Khan to have neck liposuction and decided to also have my midsection done to correct uneven results from another doctor. Understanding that revision work can be difficult... my expectations were low. I could see immediately after the surgery just how much he improved my situation. Dr Khan operates with the confidence of a seasoned professional. You really can't go wrong with this guy.

“I had my lipo with Dr Khan yesterday and today I can already see the desired changes in my waist and belly area ,I am happy with his performance”
