Surgical body contouring procedures such as liposuction or a necklift are gaining popularity due to their effectiveness at helping patients restore more pleasing contours to their body and significantly improving their figure. If you are considering a body contouring procedure, some of your options include:
-
Liposuction: This procedure involves sucking out small areas of localized fat that are resistant to a healthy diet and regular exercise. Liposuction can be used on many areas of the body, including hips, thighs, abdomen, and buttocks.
-
Abdominoplasty: An abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat around your abdomen that can’t be eliminated through diet or exercise. It is ideal for those who have been affected by pregnancy or massive weight loss.
-
Medial thigh lift. A medial thigh lift is used to remove excess skin in the thigh area and tighten any sagging muscles, greatly improving the appearance of your lower body.
-
Brachioplasty: Also known as an arm lift, a brachioplasty will tighten, smoothen, and contour your upper arm area.

Am I a Good Candidate For Body Contouring?
When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, body contouring procedures such as liposuction are a safe and effective way of helping patients achieve a better proportioned and more attractive figure.
While it’s always best to book a consultation before undergoing any surgery, typically, good candidates for body contouring procedures are those that are:
- Healthy with no medical conditions that can impair healing or increase surgical risks
- At a stable weight
- Non-smokers
- Dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle including sticking to the right diet and regular exercise
- Able to demonstrate a positive and realistic outlook for what body contouring can achieve
Why Maintaining a Stable Weight is So Important Before and After Body Contouring
Before you decide to undergo a procedure such as abdominoplasty or liposuction, you have to ensure that your weight is stabilized and that you are living a healthy life. This is because:
- If you lose weight after your procedure, sagging pockets will return
- If you rapidly gain weight back, it will cause stress to your skin, resulting in visible stretch marks and scars
