What Is Body Contouring Plastic Surgery?
After a weight loss journey, you want to feel beautiful and confident in your new body. But excess skin or tissue left after dramatic weight loss can cause discomfort that makes it hard to enjoy your success.
Body contouring plastic surgery allows you to remove excess skin and tissue safely and effectively — as well as any underlying fat still clinging stubbornly to your frame.
Body contouring procedures may include multiple areas of the body, including: arms, breast, face, neck, abdomen, buttocks, or thighs. Essentially, anywhere that excess, sagging skin is causing discomfort — physically or emotionally.
