Sculpt Your Dream Body: Body Contouring

Do these unwanted and persistent bulges of fat make you feel less confident in a crowd? Want to have a more streamlined and confident body? Well, luck has smiled as you can have this procedure at Medstar Multispeciality Hospital.

What is Body Contouring?

Contouring is one of those surgical procedures in which all the excess fat tissue and redundant skin is extracted, showing a very defined shape and texture. Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to target the areas of the abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks to give you a more balanced and chiseled silhouette.

Procedure

Our Body Contouring procedure is the incision and excision of loose skin at one's sides with liposuction. Liposuction evacuates the amount of fat, and skin excision tightens and smoothes the skin, removing sagging and dimpling effects. General anesthesia ensures that it is performed painlessly and on the individual without any discomfort during the entire procedure of surgery.

Healing process

The patient will be able to return home on the same day provided with detailed instructions on the care of the surgical site. The recuperation time can range between several weeks up to several months, depending upon the nature of the surgery and the reaction of the body to the surgery. Non-surgical procedures require less recuperation time and the patient can easily start with regular life almost immediately. However, post-procedure drugs must still be undertaken to prevent and manage infections, if any; the patient may have to be reviewed periodically by the doctor.
