Real Body contouring at Plastic Surgery Clinic

Body contouring

Body contouring is a very broad topic and can include things such as liposuction, which can be used to alter the body contour. It could include belt lipectomy which is an operation in which we go all the way around the body at the waist level, pulling the legs and buttocks up and basically doing a tummy tuck on the front side of the body. It could include changing the size and shape of the breast and there are a number of ways to do that. So body contouring is surgery to improve the shape or contour of a person's body.

The most common form of body contouring is certainly liposuction. Worldwide, that is probably the most commonly performed procedure. It has a limited application, however, since one can only safely remove small to moderate amounts of fat at any given time.

Patients who have lost a significant amount of weight – sometimes hundreds of pounds - need to have excess skin and tissue surgically removed to make the area look more normal. The technique can be used on almost any body part, including the belly, thighs, arms, breasts, back and neck.
