Body Contouring
Comprehensive reshaping after major weight loss or pregnancy
Overview
Body contouring refers to a group of procedures — often combining liposuction, skin excision, and tissue tightening — used to reshape areas of the body affected by loose skin and altered contour, commonly after major weight loss or pregnancy.
A contouring plan is built around each patient's specific areas of concern, which may include the abdomen, thighs, arms, or back.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this one operation or several?
It can be either — some patients need a single focused procedure, others benefit from a staged plan across more than one operation.
Is this suitable right after weight-loss surgery?
Surgeons generally recommend waiting until weight has been stable for several months before contouring surgery.
What scarring should I expect?
This depends on the areas treated and the amount of excess skin removed — your surgeon will explain expected scar placement for your specific plan.
