After significant weight loss, excess skin can affect comfort and appearance, which is where body contouring procedures come in. Options include an arm lift, injections, thigh lift, abdominoplasty, back reduction, buttock lift, and a 360 lower body lift to reshape and tone multiple areas for a smoother, more proportioned silhouette.

Everything you need to know about post weight loss surgery
What are the main body contouring procedures after weight loss?
After significant weight loss, excess skin can affect comfort and appearance. Common procedures include arm lifts to tighten sagging upper arms, thigh lifts to firm the legs, abdominoplasty to remove excess stomach skin and tighten muscles, back reduction to smooth rolls or bulges, buttock lifts to reshape and lift the buttocks, and a 360 lower body lift for a comprehensive transformation of the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks.
How do these procedures improve appearance and comfort?
These surgeries remove loose skin and, in some cases, excess fat, restoring a smoother, firmer, and more proportioned body contour. They can reduce discomfort from chafing, improve the fit of clothing, and enhance confidence and quality of life.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery depends on the procedure, but most patients can return to light daily activities within 2–6 weeks. Full recovery, including resuming exercise or strenuous activity, usually takes 6–8 weeks. Your surgeon will provide a personalised recovery plan with specific instructions for your surgery.
What are the risks of body contouring surgery?
As with any surgery, risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, delayed wound healing, and asymmetry. Following your surgeon’s advice and aftercare instructions can minimise these risks.
Can multiple areas be treated at once?
Yes, procedures can be combined depending on your goals and health. For example, a 360 lower body lift addresses the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks in a single surgery for a comprehensive transformation.
Real, verified reviews
I was very concerned about my breast implant removal and the shape I would be left with. I opted for a removal and an uplift. I love the look of my breasts after the operation. They have a great shape and I feel so confident about my new look. I was also concerned about the scarring but that seems to be fading relatively quickly. An amazing surgeon he put me at ease throughout and I wish I had done this sooner. If I were to have further surgery I would go back to Andrej.
I am incredibly pleased with the outstanding care and expertise Maria Chasapi has brought to my surgery. From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were second to none. She took the time to understand my goals, explained every step with clarity, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. The results have exceeded my expectations—not just aesthetically, but in how confident and comfortable I now feel.
Mr Salibi listened to my concerns, he explained the procedure in great detail and answered my list of questions. His persona, his calmess, his reassurance left me feeling at ease and I was so eager to have my tummy tuck after years of hiding my body under smocks and over shirts. I am now six weeks post op and cannot stop smiling... My scar is so neat, so perfect and is healing exceptionally well. My body confidence has returned and I cannot thank My Salibi enough for working his magic.
