What Does Body Contouring Surgery Entail?

Body contouring surgery includes various procedures to enhance the body’s overall shape and tone. At Sound Plastic Surgery, our surgeons address areas affected by excess fat, loose skin, or skin laxity following significant weight loss. Some famous body contouring procedures include:

• Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles.
• Liposuction to eliminate stubborn fat deposits and sculpt the body.
• Thigh lift to enhance the appearance of the inner or outer thighs.
• Buttock lift to improve and reshape the buttocks.

Each treatment plan is customized to meet your needs and aesthetic goals. Whether you’re interested in a single procedure or a comprehensive transformation like a Mommy Makeover, our team will collaborate closely to develop a surgical approach that delivers the best possible results.

How Can Body Contouring Transform Your Body After Weight Loss?

Body contouring can be life-changing for patients who have undergone significant weight loss. Major weight loss often leaves excess skin that cannot be corrected through diet and exercise alone. Our surgeons specialize in post-weight loss body contouring procedures, such as:

• Lower body lift to tighten and tone the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.
• Arm lift (brachioplasty) to remove sagging skin from the upper arms.
• Thigh lift to contour and reshape the thighs.
• Breast lift or breast reduction to improve the appearance of the chest and eliminate back pain or discomfort.
• Facelift and neck lift to address skin laxity in the face and neck.

These procedures help patients achieve a more youthful, defined shape, restoring their confidence and comfort after significant weight loss.

Am I a Good Candidate for Body Contouring?

Body contouring is ideal for individuals at or near their target weight but struggle with areas of loose skin or stubborn fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise. It’s also a popular option for patients who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with excess skin that affects their comfort, appearance, and confidence.

Common areas addressed by body contouring include:

• Abdomen and waist
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Arms
• Hips and flanks

During your initial consultation at our Seattle clinic, our board-certified surgeons will evaluate your treatment areas and discuss your goals. From there, we will develop a customized treatment plan that may include a combination of liposuction and tummy tuck to achieve a more sculpted, toned look.

What Can I Expect From the Recovery Process?

Recovery times for body contouring vary depending on the procedures performed and your healing process. After surgery, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which will gradually subside over the following weeks. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions and are with you every step of the way throughout your recovery to ensure optimal results.

Most patients return to light activities within two to four weeks, but swelling can take several months to resolve fully and for your final results to become visible. Our team will provide scar care guidance and ongoing support during follow-up appointments to ensure recovery.

To ensure a smooth recovery, following your surgeon’s post-op instructions and attending any scheduled follow-up appointments is important.
