Understanding Body Contouring
Patients often seek body contouring after losing weight, whether through bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, diet, or a combination approach.

Body contouring can address both the skin and fat.But these surgeries aren’t only for people who lose weight. Many women feel unhappy with their appearance after pregnancy, nursing, or aging. Body contouring can correct the physical effects, like muscle separation in the abdomen, hanging skin, and extra fat.
