Body Contouring Overview

What Is Body Contouring?

After significant weight loss, many patients are thrilled with their progress but may notice loose or sagging skin around the abdomen, lower back, or other areas. Body contouring is a range of procedures designed to remove excess skin and tighten underlying tissues, helping to restore a smoother, firmer, and more defined shape.

Our compassionate team at Studio Plastic Surgery understands the impact that excess skin can have on self-confidence and quality of life. Dr. Kunaal Jindal is an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who achieves transformative, natural-looking results.

Who Is a Candidate for  Body Contouring?

The best way to determine your candidacy for body contouring is with a consultation at Studio Plastic Surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Jindal will examine your body and skin and discuss your aesthetic goals. We will discuss the details of contouring and help you determine whether body contouring is the ideal choice for you. Most candidates for body contouring are in good health and would like to address loose skin in various areas, such as the thighs, arms, hips, buttocks, or abdomen. This may be caused by massive weight loss, pregnancy, or the natural aging process.

Your Body Contouring Procedure & Options

As a board-certified body contouring expert in Toronto, Dr. Jindal may utilize multiple techniques to help sculpt your ideal silhouette. The procedures chosen will reflect your unique needs and goals. Available procedures include the following:

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is performed to tighten and firm the abdominal area. Patients who have undergone massive weight loss are generally good candidates for this surgery. An incision is made between your hip bones at the underwear line. The abdominal wall muscles are tightened, creating a stronger, firmer abdomen. Excess skin is removed, and the area is contoured and sculpted.

Circumferential Lower Body Lift

Also referred to as the belt lipectomy, the circumferential lower body lift is ideal for individuals who have recently lost a significant amount of weight and are interested in addressing excess skin and fat in more than one area. This technique involves an incision made around the lower body, enabling Dr. Jindal to remove excess skin from the abdomen, hips, and buttocks, resulting in a buttock lift simultaneously.

Fleur-De-Lis Abdominoplasty

This surgery is a more extensive abdominoplasty that utilizes both a horizontal incision between the hip bones and a vertical incision that runs up the middle of the abdomen. This allows Dr. Jindal greater opportunity to tighten the laxity in both the vertical and horizontal dimensions. . This transformative procedure allows more excess skin and tissue to be removed from both the upper and lower abdominal region and ultimately results in a tighter waistline.

Liposuction

Liposuction is used to remove small pockets of excess fat during body contouring. Dr. Jindal will make a very small incision, and a cannula is used to suction out the unwanted fat cells, leaving a slimmer, toned area.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Patients who have lost significant weight or who are noticing sagging upper arm skin due to the natural aging process can benefit from brachioplasty. This surgical procedure removes excess skin and reshapes the back part of your upper arm for a more sculpted appearance.

Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)

Massive weight loss typically results in excess skin around the thighs. A thigh lift firms and contours the thighs by reducing excess skin and fat to achieve better contours.

The Recovery Process After Body Contouring

After body contouring in Toronto, you will be able to return home with a family member or friend to recover at home.  You will have compression garments to wear, which help reduce swelling and encourage your body to heal well in its new contours. You may have drains in place to help release excess fluid that may build up during the healing process. These will be removed within a few days.

We will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing and ensure you’re doing well,and offer guidance on your recovery period. Most patients can return to sedentary work within about two weeks of their surgery and can resume strenuous exercise in four to six weeks. Any remaining swelling will subside over the following months.
