Body Contouring/Liposuction
What procedure is right for me?

Body-contouring surgery does not improve your health but can enhance your self confidence, so that you are happy with your body image. If you are considering liposuction or a tummy tuck for example, it's important to have a clear idea of what aspects of your appearance you don’t like so that your surgeon can plan your surgery to target these problems.

For liposuction, the most common scenario is that there are areas of fat excess which cannot be altered by dieting or exercise. These may be in the hip area ('saddle bags'), in the inner thighs, around the buttocks, the tummy wall, or involve the upper arms or neck. It is important that you are as specific as possible when describing your concerns to your surgeon. If your problem is more generalised and you are significantly overweight, then to get the best results, you should only consider liposuction after you have lost weight.

We commonly perform skin-tightening surgery in patients who have achieved significant weight loss and who now have areas of skin excess. Tummy tucks are best performed when your family is complete and all types of body contouring procedures deliver the best results when your weight is stable and as close to normal as possible.
