Procedures include liposuction, tummy tuck, arm lift, buttock surgery, treatment of underarm and hand sweating, wound, keloid and scar treatment, and hair transplantation including FUE. Body contouring is not a weight-loss method.
Body contouring
Liposuction and lifts correct local excess that remains despite diet and exercise; after major weight loss procedures may be staged.
Hair transplant
Follicles from the loss-resistant back of the scalp are moved to thinning areas; FUE extracts them individually without a linear scar.
Safety
Clots, fluid collection and wound problems are possible; assessment, proper facilities, early mobilisation and compression reduce risk.
Frequently asked questions
Can liposuction and tummy tuck be combined?
Often, in suitable patients.
Is body contouring a weight-loss method?
