There are several mods which expand follower options. I use Extensible Follower Framework, which enables you to change your followers' clothes, residence, essential status, combat style, and a couple other things in game (in addition to allowing you to use more than one follower). There are several mods that do similar, but that's the one I use.

 

Changing your followers body and face as far as I know are not directly possible in game. You'd have to go into the Creation Kit for that. Here's a tutorial . Basically do that, but instead of creating a whole new "actor", just alter the existing actor file for your follower of choice.

 

Customizing the body is a little more in depth. Here's a tutorial for that. Bear in mind that most clothing will not reflect your custom body, as in most cases visible bare arms/chest/legs are actually part of the clothing model and only reference the base body for the textures. Also the game engine only supports clothing morps for the weight slider, so bare skin aside, the clothes themselves won't conform to the custom body shape. So if you want your follower's custom body shape to be apparent while they're wearing clothes, you will have to create a standalone version of the clothes you want him/her to wear. If you're just grabbing a pre-made body mod to use as your follower's unique body, this is easy: just find a clothing mod made for that body, and grab whatever meshes you need from that to create your follower's stand-alone clothes in the CK.

 

It may be worth browsing/searching the companions/followers sections of the Nexus mods. Pretty much every follower in game has been reworked a dozen times over by other modders to suit their own tastes. It's entirely possible one of them may coincide with yours.
