ADVANCED BODY CONTOURING

Advanced body contouring surgery is required for patients with a significant amount of excess skin due to dramatic weight loss. This usually includes post-bariatric surgery patients and medical weight loss patients who have experienced more significant amounts of weight loss. Depending on your weight loss, you may find combining multiple surgeries achieve the medical results you need. Safely providing the more complex body contouring procedures which are longer, requires general anesthesia at a hospital.
