Body Contouring

Body Contouring

Body contouring is a new and exciting field and one that is especially popular with people who have lost lots of weight and now want to tighten, tone, and define their improved body. Body contouring can improve the appearance of loose or sagging skin giving your body smoother contours and an improved shape.

If you have lost a large amount of weight then congratulations! As well as improving your appearance, you should feel very proud that you have also greatly boosted your health. You may find that your skin hasn’t shrunk back quite as well as you’d hoped and that’s where we can help.

Cosmetic surgery after weight loss is a unique area of plastic surgery involving multiple procedures, many carried out at the same time, to tighten and re-contour the new body.

How Can Body Contouring Help Me?

The following are just some of the areas that can be re-sculpted by our consultant plastic surgeons:

Tummy tuck to tighten the extra skin on the abdomen

Breast lift to boost saggy, empty breasts that can be uplifted, augmented or both

Arm lift to correct the loose skin dangling from the upper arms

Liposuction to give a more even contour to your new and improved body

Thigh Lift to correct flabby thighs that rub together. This procedure is best done in combination with liposuction

Facelift to rejuvenate the face and give you a more youthful, taut appearance

Lower body lift - this is a more major operation aimed at lifting the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen all at the same time

Upper body lift - this operation lifts the breasts, arms, and chest in a single procedure

It is important to note that in order for you to receive maximum benefit from this procedure your weight should be at a stable place, as losing or gaining weight can negatively impact your results from this surgery.
