“Body Contouring” refers to a range of surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to reshape and improve the appearance of the body by removing excess fat, tightening skin, and enhancing the body’s contours. These procedures are often sought after significant weight loss or to target areas of the body resistant to diet and exercise.

Types of Body Contouring Procedures

Surgical Body Contouring
- Liposuction: Removes excess fat deposits from specific areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, or arms.
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, and tightens abdominal muscles.
- Body Lift: Includes procedures like arm lifts, thigh lifts, or full lower body lifts to remove excess skin and fat while improving the shape of the body.
- Breast Lift: Restores the shape and position of sagging breasts, often performed after weight loss or pregnancy.
Non-Surgical Body Contouring
- CoolSculpting (Cryolipolysis): Uses cold temperatures to freeze and destroy fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.
- Laser Lipolysis: Uses heat from lasers to target and break down fat cells.
- Ultrasound Fat Reduction: Uses ultrasonic waves to break down fat cells without surgery.
- Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments: Uses RF energy to tighten skin and reduce fat in targeted areas.

Benefits of Body Contouring

Improved Shape and Proportion: Enhances body contours and provides a more balanced and toned appearance.
Increased Confidence: Patients often feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies post-procedure.
Customizable: The treatments can be tailored to the individual’s specific concerns, such as stubborn fat, sagging skin, or a combination of both.

Recovery and Risks

Surgical Body Contouring: Involves downtime, including swelling, bruising, and discomfort for several weeks. The results are often long-lasting but require proper post-operative care.
Non-Surgical Body Contouring: Typically has little to no downtime, but the results are gradual and less dramatic than surgical options.

Both types of procedures are effective, but the best choice depends on the patient’s goals, anatomy, and lifestyle. SHIFA will provide best preoperative consultations.
