Are you considering undergoing a body contouring procedure, such as a thigh lift or liposuction to achieve your desired shape? Here are some things you may want to consider first.
If you have lost a substantial amount of weight, the skin and tissue of your body will most likely lose its elasticity and won’t be able to conform to your new body size. As a result, you may be left with unwanted excess skin and a lack of satisfaction about your appearance.
Surgical body contouring procedures such as liposuction are designed to remove this excess fat and/or skin and improve the shape and tone of your body.
These treatments can be used for many areas of the body, including:
- Stomach
- Breasts
- Thighs and legs
- Arms and bingo wings
- Buttocks
Whatever your needs, surgical procedures such as a medial thigh lift and liposuction can help improve your figure and restore more pleasing contours to your body.

Am I a Good Candidate For a Body Contouring Procedure?
When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, body contouring procedures are very safe and effective at recontouring your body into the shape that you desire.
You may be a good candidate for a body contouring procedure if you are:
- At a stable weight
- Healthy with no medical conditions that increase your surgical risks
- A non smoker
- Committed to following a healthy diet and regular exercise
- Realistic about the results of such procedures
Importance of Weight Stabilization Following a Body Contouring Procedure
Before you decide to undergo any body contouring procedure, you must ensure that you are at a stable weight. This is because if you continue to lose weight, your sagging skin will return. If you put on weight, you will cause further stress to your body and this may result in stretch marks and other scars.
Body Contouring Consultation: What to Expect
Whatever cosmetic surgery you are considering, the success of your outcomes will depend on your openness and honesty during your one on one consultation with the plastic surgeon. If you have any questions or concerns about the procedure, be sure to bring it up with your doctor, as this will allow you to feel more comfortable and happy with the treatment.
You Will Discuss:
- Your reasons for the surgery and your expectations of the outcome
- The different body contouring treatments available
- Your medical history and lifestyle habits (eg. use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs)
- Any medical conditions or drug allergies you may have
- Any previous surgeries you have had
- Any risks or potential complications of the surgery
- The likely outcomes of the procedure
In addition, your plastic surgeon will most likely show you photographs of patients who have undergone similar procedures and take detailed measurements of your body. They will also discuss your different treatment options and recommend which one is best for your specific needs.
