Body Contouring plastic surgery procedures rolled right into one have the purpose to get you in shape after bariatric surgery or dramatic weight loss. It amalgamates an abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck), lateral thigh lift, arm lift and breast lift together to give a slimmer, shapelier look to the patient.
A lot of people who have lost over one hundred pounds have many areas that need to be addressed with plastic surgery. A Plastic Surgeon will contour their body so that they regain a satisfying look. Sometimes, a mini facelift may also be necessary to correct sagging of the mid-face.
Depending on the number of procedures, recovery times and care vary. However, these are some of the top questions most patients ask before undergoing Body Contouring procedures.
Will I spend the night in the hospital?

Which are the things patients experience after a Body Contouring operation?

The Plastic Surgeon sets drains during surgery to lessen fluid on lateral thighs and the abdomen. He also closes all incisions with self-resorbing sutures so no further action is necessary for two weeks. The individual may shower the very first post-operative day.
