Body Contouring

BODY CONTOURING

Body contouring (or body shaping) is a general term that refers to any surgical procedure that alters different areas of the body, whether it is in a massive weight loss patient or not. Body contouring after massive weight loss refers to a series of procedures that eliminate and/or reduce excess skin and fat that remains after obese individuals lose a significant amount of weight in a variety of places including the torso, upper arms, chest, and thighs.

The most popular body contouring procedures performed at the Bay Area Laser Center include the tummy tuck (abdominoplasty or stomach lift), thigh lift, and buttock lift. Other components of body contouring include the arm lift (brachioplasty) and breast lift (mastopexy).
