Body Procedures
Body surgeries such as body contouring use various plastic surgery techniques to tighten and lift loose skin on the body to achieve a well-proportioned and pleasing contour. By eliminating excess skin and fat, your body will regain a firmer and youthful appearance. Abdominoplasty, liposuction, thigh lift, arm lift, brachioplasty, body lift, and abdominal surgery after pregnancy are options for techniques used in body contouring surgery. You are a candidate for body contouring surgery if you have lost excess skin and fat due to pregnancy, aging, and weight loss.
Body contouring can be performed on many different anatomical regions of the body. This gives you the freedom to choose the treatment site. The abdomen, arms, buttocks, lower body, and breasts are all anatomical regions where body contouring can sculpt, shape, lift, and tighten tissues to improve your body shape and contours significantly.
General anesthesia is usually required to perform body contouring. The procedure takes two to six hours to complete, and varies depending on the degree of contouring needed, the extent of fat deposition, and or combination of procedures performed. Hospital stay and recovery time also vary depending on the extent of the procedure and other risk factors. Like all surgical procedures, body contouring surgery also carries risks. Your risk of complications after body contouring surgery is high if you smoke cigarettes, have a high body mass, or have a medical condition (diabetes, hypertension, asthma).
