This procedure is often performed on patients with cosmetic issues such as a cesarean section scar or a sagging abdomen. During abdominoplasty, the incision is typically made in the groin area, and excess skin and fat are removed through this incision. The remaining skin is then pulled downward and the muscles are tightened.

Brachioplasty

Brachioplasty, or arm lift, is the surgical removal of excess skin and tightening of the arms. This procedure is often performed on patients with sagging skin on the inner arms. During brachioplasty, the incision is typically made on the inner part of the arm, and excess skin is removed through this incision. The remaining skin is then pulled upward and the arms are tightened.

Thigh Lift

Thigh lift is the surgical removal of excess skin on the inner or outer thighs and tightening of the thighs. This procedure is often performed on patients with sagging skin on the inner or outer thighs. During thigh lift, the incision is typically made on the inner or outer part of the thighs, and excess skin is removed through this incision. The remaining skin is then pulled upward and the thighs are tightened.

Buttock Lift

Buttock lift is the surgical removal of excess skin on the buttocks and tightening of the buttocks. This procedure is often performed on patients with sagging buttocks or a flat appearance.

After Body Contouring

After body contouring, you may need to stay in the hospital for a few days. Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions. Typically, it takes several weeks for stitches to be removed and for healing to be complete. During this time, it's important to rest, eat healthily, and drink plenty of water. You should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities.

Clothing

During the healing process, it's important to wear loose and comfortable clothing. Tight clothing can cause irritation to the stitches and delay healing.

Pain

Feeling pain after body contouring is normal. Your doctor will prescribe pain medications.

Swelling

Feeling swelling after body contouring is normal. You can apply compression to reduce swelling.

Scarring

Scarring will remain after body contouring. Scars will fade over time. Your doctor may recommend creams or other treatments to reduce scars.

Activity

Exercise

You should avoid exercising for a few months after body contouring. Your doctor will tell you when you can resume exercise.

Sun Exposure

It's important to protect yourself from sun exposure until your scars are fully healed. Remember to use sunscreen and wear a hat when going out in the sun.
