Refining the Silhouette
Recontouring Surgery
Recontouring surgery is best performed when several stones of weight have been lost as the skin has usually become so stretched that it has exceeded its elastic limit. This can also be the case after pregnancy. Rather than shrinking, the skin simply hangs down in an unattractive way, potentially causing problems with hygiene and comfort.
Recontouring surgery post weight-loss is most usually thought of in terms of just the abdominal area, but in reality an entire raft of procedures can help patients to gain a better contour in the arms, thighs, buttocks, face, neck and breasts.
Augmentation Mastopexy
After weight loss the breasts often benefit from filling with an implant as well as undergoing an uplift. This procedure can sometimes be performed safely in one go but may need to be staged in certain cases (i.e. uplift first then implant later) for safety reasons.
