Body contouring helps patients transform various area of their body to improve their figure.
This cosmetic procedure is highly sought after amongst patients who have lost weight, either naturally or using bariatric surgery, and therefore have been left with excess areas of fat and skin.
Stubborn areas of loose skin and fat pockets are typically fairly unresponsive to exercise, and they can only be improved using cosmetic surgery. Body contouring is also popular among mothers who do not intend on having any more children but have been left with the physical effects of pregnancy and nursing, such as a loose abdomen or sagging breasts.
Fortunately, body contouring treatments can reshape and tighten those areas of the body that are causing patients to feel self-conscious, while creating a more desired figure.
Typical procedures included in body contouring
Contrary to popular belief, not all body contouring procedures involve invasive surgery. There are also some highly successful non-invasive treatments that can smoothen and tighten the skin, including laser therapies and chemical peels.
Some of the most common surgical treatments offered as part of body contouring include:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
- Breast lift
- Breast augmentation
- Liposuction
- Upper arm lift
- Thigh lift
- Brazilian butt implants
- Neck lift
- Face lift
Exactly which procedures are right for you will depend on the areas of your body that you most wish to be addressed. In many cases it is possible to combine them into one, lengthier surgery with just one recovery period. This enables the patient to see a total body transformation carried out in a single day.
If there are multiple parts of your appearance that you would like improved through body contouring, we may be able to combine certain procedures tailored to your goals. We will discuss your goals and possible treatment at the time of your consultation.
