Body contouring is the removal of sagging or hanging skin. After considerable weight loss following diet or gastric bypass surgery, stomach stapling or gastric banding, excess skin on the chest, torso, arms and legs may be baggy and uncomfortable. Body contouring can include liposuction, tummy tuck, arm lift and thigh lift. Each complete procedure is tailored to the individual patient.

• Length: 2-5 hours.
• Recovery: Patients may return to work in 6 weeks and may resume exercise after 8 weeks. Complete healing of incisions may take up to 1 year.
