Over the past several years, the aesthetics industry has experienced a rise in demand for procedures that offer more personalized and precise results. Body contouring has become a desirable option for those looking to sculpt their physiques and attain a more defined look. As techniques become more advanced, a growing number of people are utilizing body contouring to refine their shape and improve their overall well-being.

Body contouring involves reshaping and sculpting areas of the body through surgical and non-surgical techniques, and it often targets areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. Historically, traditional liposuction was one of the earliest body-contouring methods, designed to remove excess fat from specific areas. While it was effective, the procedure primarily focused on fat reduction without much emphasis on creating defined, natural-looking contours.

Dr. Motakef’s practice reflects a philosophy centered on creating results that feel authentic to the individual, rather than overly artificial or exaggerated. His focus on high-definition body contouring allows for a more refined approach than standard liposuction, as he feels muscle definition and body balance are most important. “I plan my cases like an architect would plan to build a house, always thinking about how I can be better for our patients and refining techniques,” explains Dr. Motakef.

Dr. Motakef has extensive training in high-definition liposuction. He pursued advanced training in Colombia under experts in the field, which reflects his commitment to providing the safest and most effective results. He incorporates ultrasound-guided techniques, particularly for procedures like the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which have historically carried risks when performed without precision. This commitment to safety is a hallmark of his practice. Dr. Motakef believes that “Plastic surgery is an interesting specialty. We do risky things to make people look better, but safety is always the number one priority.”

The high standards Dr. Motakef sets for himself are further showcased by his board certification—a distinction that holds particular weight in the plastic surgery industry. “Any medical doctor can do plastic surgery, and this is a big problem, especially in places like Florida and Miami,” says Dr. Motakef. “Non-plastic surgeons, often from unrelated specialties, perform cosmetic procedures, and patients don’t always know the difference.” Board certification ensures that a surgeon has undergone rigorous training in plastic surgery and that they are able to offer patients a higher level of expertise and safety.

Dr. Motakef’s approach resonates with patients who seek more than just cosmetic improvement—they want results that align with their vision of themselves. He emphasizes an ethical, patient-focused practice, saying, “I’m not the type of surgeon who just does what’s asked without regard for the patient’s well-being. Every case is planned with care, ensuring the best outcome for that individual.”
