Slack skin may appear after substantial weight loss or surgery, saggy skin that doesn’t conform to the body’s curves should retain support, regions that are susceptible to sag are:

• Upper arms
• Breasts
• Abdominal area
• Buttocks

Body Contouring improves the skin texture and tones it back into position after the supporting tissues are toned also and extra skin and fat layers are removed.
Results will be a smoother, toned skin that will effectively complete one’s weight management system.

Weight must be stable even during weight loss programs because:

• Continued weight loss will lead to the redevelopment of saggy skins.
• Rapid weight gain will lead to the stressing of saggy skin that will cause lesions and scars and stretch marks to appear or widen.

Usually plastic surgeons work along with the patient’s physician to assess and decide when body contouring is convenient.
The best candidates are:

• Adults of any age whose weight has been successfully stabilized.
• Healthy individuals with no serious or contradictive medical records
• Non smokers
• Optimistic individuals
• Determined individuals who are willing to undergo a continuous fit lifestyle

Areas that shall be worked on are:

• Lower Body Lift
• Breast Lift
• Upper Arm Lift
• Thighs Lift

Whereas Steps taken are:

• Anesthesia: The doctor will recommend the most suitable type based on the patient’s situation
• The Incision: All body contouring operations require incisions and cuts to be made to get rid of excess skin, the incision’s length and pattern depends on how much skin it’s necessary to remove and where the skin is located. Personal likings and doctor recommendations may alter the amount and locations of incisions, also some techniques can decrease the appearance of these incisions by determining the places mostly covered by clothing. Not to forget that body contouring may be performed on stages thus it may take time to get the most desired results
• Body Lift: Treats saggy buttocks, abdomen, waist, hips and outer thighs, incisions may vary to reach a circumferential shape to remove the belt of excess fat and skin
• Breast Lift: incisions are determined based on the amount of skin to be removed and location of recommended lifting while implants may be advised to enhance look
• Arm Lift: Incisions are done from the underarm area till the inside of the back of the upper arm. Additional incisions may be needed if excess skin was developed. Results on that area are rapidly visible in spite of the swelling and bruising which is normal after surgery while skin texture is highly improved
• Thigh Lift: Incisions in the groin area are made and could extend towards the knee along the inner thigh, outer incisions are only necessary if outer thigh area needs contouring. The areas worked on will dramatically help tighten tissues to get a toned thigh
