About This Procedure
Body contouring is a collective term for surgical procedures that reshape and improve the appearance of the body by removing excess skin and fat. It is especially effective after significant weight loss — whether from bariatric surgery or lifestyle change — when loose, redundant skin prevents the underlying body shape from showing.
Soulplace Surgery offers tailored body contouring plans that may include tummy tuck, lower body lift, thigh lift, arm lift, and liposuction, performed as staged or combined operations to achieve your goals safely.

Recovery
Rest with compression garments in place. Drain management and wound care are carried out as directed by the team.
Significant swelling is expected and gradually reduces. Gentle movement is encouraged; strenuous activity is restricted.
Light work and daily routines typically resume. Continue garment wear; exercise reintroduction follows surgeon clearance.
The reshaped silhouette becomes clearer as swelling fully resolves. Scars mature and fade significantly over 12-18 months.
Safety & Scarring
Body contouring carries the standard risks of major surgery: scarring, seroma, infection, wound dehiscence, deep vein thrombosis, and anaesthesia complications. Staged procedures minimise operative time per session and reduce overall risk.
Have Questions?
A body contouring plan is personalised and may include liposuction, tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, breast procedures, or any combination that safely addresses your concerns. Your surgeon will propose the most appropriate combination at consultation.
Your consultation includes a detailed physical assessment and discussion of your goals. Your surgeon will recommend a tailored plan based on your anatomy, recovery expectations, and what can be safely combined in one session.
Combining procedures in one session is common and safe when carefully planned. Anaesthesia duration, blood loss, and your overall health are all assessed. Sometimes staging over two sessions is the safest approach for more extensive plans.
Recovery time depends on which procedures are combined. A typical body contouring plan requires 2–4 weeks before returning to desk work, with full recovery and final results taking up to 12 months.
We recommend being at or near your stable goal weight before surgery. Body contouring is not a weight-loss procedure — it delivers the best results at a stable weight and is not a substitute for diet and exercise.
