Body-shaping surgeries can remove fat or excess skin and help recontour many different areas of the body, from the cheeks and chin to the calves and ankles, and everything in between. Body contouring can also improve the shape and tone of the underlying support tissues and muscles. The result is a more proportionate appearance with smoother contours.
Body contouring is a good option for people who have lost a significant amount of weight and have loose or sagging skin. It’s also an ideal solution for moms who are done having kids and for those who want to enhance or reshape a particular area of the body.
