Have you ever wondered why, despite your best efforts with diet and exercise, your body doesn’t quite look the way you want it to?
Changes in our bodies due to congenital anomalies, injuries, illnesses, hormones and the natural ageing process can be challenging to manage.
Weight loss can sometimes leave behind stubborn fat and loose skin that refuse to budge. This can be incredibly frustrating and disheartening.
Thankfully, plastic surgery offers effective solutions that address both aesthetic and health concerns.
Body contouring surgeries are procedures designed to reshape and refine your body’s contours, offering a path to achieving your desired physique when traditional methods fall short.

Is body contouring right for me?
In short, it could be the solution for addressing post-weight loss concerns, restoring pre-pregnancy body contours, and enhancing overall confidence and comfort.
Body contouring after weight loss
If you’ve experienced significant weight loss, you might find yourself with excess skin and stubborn fat deposits that diet and exercise can’t address. Body contouring can help by removing this excess skin and reshaping your body to reflect your weight loss achievements.
Popular surgeries include a lower body lift, which targets the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, labiaplasty, and an arm lift (brachioplasty) for excess skin on the upper arms.
Body contouring after childbirth
Body contouring can help restore your pre-pregnancy body by tightening the skin, repairing separated abdominal muscles, and removing excess fat.
Popular surgery for this situation is called Mommy makeover, which is a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to address the abdomen, and a breast lift (mastopexy) or augmentation to restore the breasts’ shape and volume.
It’s important to wait until your body has fully recovered from childbirth, typically around 6-12 months.
Body contouring after c section
A C-section can leave you with a noticeable scar and excess skin around the abdomen. Body contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck, can help by removing excess skin, tightening the abdominal area, and even improving the appearance of the C-section scar.
Popular surgeries also include liposuction to remove tenacious fat deposits around the abdomen and flanks.

Fat removal (liposuction)
Liposuction is a highly effective solution for removing stubborn fat that resists diet and exercise, targeting problem areas such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, back, inner knees, upper arms, and chin.
For even more comprehensive results, consider 360 and 360 HD liposuction, which provide a more detailed and circumferential fat removal, enhancing your overall body shape.

Abdominal plastic surgery or Tummy Tuck
Abdominal plastic surgery, or a tummy tuck, is a good choice when the abdominal wall remains flabby despite rigorous exercise and a healthy diet. This procedure tightens loose skin and muscles, providing a firmer, more toned abdomen. It’s ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or post-pregnancy changes, offering a long-lasting solution.

Body modelling with fat grafting
Body modelling with fat grafting procedure involves adjusting a patient’s body shape using their own fat, sourced from adipose tissue rich in stem cells and bioactive factors. Thus, fat transplantation serves not only to correct body contours but also to rejuvenate facial, arm, and neck skin.

Tight lift
Tight lift improves thigh appearance by removing excess skin and fat. It’s sought by those with weight loss or ageing-related sagging. Incisions in the inner thigh or groin remove tissue, tightening skin for a toned look.

Plastic surgery of the vaginal lips (labiaplasty)
Labiaplasty reshapes labia minora/majora for comfort and aesthetics. It’s common for women with enlarged or asymmetrical labia, reducing discomfort and enhancing appearance.

Fat-based buttock augmentation
Fat-based buttock augmentation, such as the Brazilian Butt Lift, enhances buttock shape using the patient’s fat. Harvested from donor sites, fat is injected into the buttocks, offering natural-looking results with minimal scarring.

Upper arm plastic surgery
Upper arm plastic surgery, or brachioplasty, reshapes arms by removing excess skin and fat. Incisions minimise scarring, with results enhancing appearance and confidence. Swelling and bruising are temporary, with long-lasting outcomes.

Body contouring surgery scars
Body contouring surgery scars vary depending on the procedure and individual healing processes.
Liposuction typically results in small, discreet scars due to minimal incisions.
In contrast, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and thigh lifts involve larger incisions, often resulting in more noticeable scars along the lower abdomen or inner thighs.
Upper arm lifts (brachioplasty) leave scars on the inner arms, which can be visible when wearing sleeveless clothing.
While scars from fat grafting are usually minimal, those from labiaplasty are often hidden within natural skin folds.
Over time, most scars fade significantly, especially with proper care and scar management techniques.
Body contouring risks
Body contouring surgeries carry potential risks and complications, including infection, scarring, and asymmetry. All the potential risks are discussed with your surgeon during a consultation.
To minimise these risks, it is crucial to follow postoperative care instructions diligently and attend all follow-up appointments.
