Body contouring, also known as body sculpting, is a reconstructive surgery or medical procedure that focuses on reshaping any aesthetically unappealing body part. It involves multiple surgeries and even non-surgical procedures to remove excess fat, get rid of extra skin, and re-contour or reshape the skin area.
Body contouring surgery is not meant for people seeking help losing weight. Instead, it is done for adults after major stabilized weight loss when their skin may not shrink back fully, resulting in extra skin. A cosmetic surgeon performs the surgery to improve one's figure and address specific body parts where weight loss isn't effective. It is often done in stages and may take months or even years.
'Body contouring is an excellent option to bring the body back into a well-defined shape. It works best for those dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle and seeking attainable objectives,' shares Dr. Dushyanth Kalva, one of the best plastic surgeon in Hyderabad practising at Inform Clinics. He performs all types of body contouring surgeries at this clinic and has helped many people to achieve the incredible look they always desired for.

Liposuction: Liposuction, also termed lipoplasty, lipectomy, lipo, or liposculpture suction, is an aesthetic surgery that breaks down and sucks the abundant body fat, which is non-responsive to a balanced diet and daily exercise.
Liposuction is neither a weight-loss tool nor a cure for obesity. This procedure is only for those with stable body weight, good skin elasticity and tone, and a desire to improve their body shape by getting rid of undesirable fat deposits in specific body parts. It is often done on body sites like the abdomen, chin, thighs, calves, upper and back of the arms, neck, buttocks, and back.
The stubborn fat is first dislodged using a thin hollow tube called a cannula which is inserted through the incisions made in the skin. A powerful, high-pressure vacuum at the end of the cannula helps take out the displaced fat. As a result, the skin looks firmer and more attractive.
Tummy Tuck: Tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgery performed to flatten the tummy by reducing excess fat and skin around the abdomen and tightening or strengthening the abdominal wall musculature. The procedure aims to provide an exquisite abdomen to those struggling to lose extra belly fat and have been lugging it about.
Abdominoplasty helps restore weakened abdominal muscles, alleviate pain, improve bladder function, change the shape and tone of the abdomen to create a smoother appearance, and also lessen itching and skin infections. The surgery involves making a horizontal curved incision close to the belly button and pubic hairline and then separating underlying tissues from the skin and fatty tissue. Once the abdominal skin is lifted, the underlying weakened abdominal muscles are repaired.
The upper abdominal skin is pulled down, and excess fat is removed. Then excess skin is trimmed, and the remaining skin is sutured together. The incisions are closed with stitches, skin adhesives, or tape. The surgery results in a flatter, firmer abdomen contour that is proportionate to the body type and weight. It is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery in Hyderabad performed at Inform Clinic in both men and women.
Thigh Lift: Thigh lift surgery, or thighplasty, is a surgery that eliminates unwanted skin and fat from the outer or inner thigh area. An inner thigh lift is easy to conduct and recover from since the localised fat is soft. It can provide a natural and well-proportioned result. Contrarily, "saddle bags," or fat that naturally disappears from the thighs, can be adequately corrected with outer thigh surgery to give a leaner appearance. It is crucial to precisely reduce the right amount of fat as per the unique body features of the candidate. Usually, this is performed in combination with a buttock lift.
Breast Reduction: Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgery to get smaller and well-shaped breasts by removal of extra breast tissue, skin, and fat. Women with enlarged breasts often experience various issues, including back, shoulder, and neck pain and other discomforts. However, breast reduction can alleviate that tension, eliminate pain, and improve their quality of life. In addition, it may be challenging for women with heavy breasts to lead healthy lifestyles. After breast reduction surgery, exercise becomes more enjoyable for such patients.
Mommy Makeover: A mommy makeover is a personalised set of two or more body contouring procedures done on mothers who want to get back their pre-pregnancy figure. The surgeries that come under the category of a mommy makeover include tummy tuck, liposuction of hips, thighs, and waist, breast surgeries, and facelifts. The belly and breasts are the central target regions; however, mommy makeover surgery can be tailored to a woman's specific preferences. The ability to do two or more body contouring treatments simultaneously allows women to target many body parts while only having to schedule one recovery period. For those moms who are only interested in softening their forehead lines and crow's feet, restoring volume lost in their lips or face, or getting back a more youthful and energised look, anti-wrinkle injections or dermal fillers may be recommended.
Arm Lift: Upper arm drooping skin can give an unattractive appearance. However, an arm lift can successfully remove sagging skin and excess fat by making incisions on the arms that reach from the underarm to the inner arm. In certain instances, more incisions may be required to treat another arm region.
Belt Lipectomy: This is a lower body lift that is quite helpful for correcting sagging buttocks, belly, waist, hips, and outer thighs. However, incision patterns may vary and may include a circumferential incision on the lower body to properly remove all excess skin and fat.
Posterior Upper Body Lift: Weight loss can also cause sagging skin in the upper back region. This excess skin can be rolled up or removed by making horizontal incisions along the upper garment line reaching up to the torso or, in rare cases, up to the breast creases.
Breast Augmentation: Few women choose to undergo breast augmentation cosmetic surgery to make their breasts larger and fuller. Increasing the size of the breasts is performed for reconstructive or other cosmetic goals.
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical technique that commonly involves the use of silicone or saline implants or autologous fat transfer to augment the size and shape of the breasts. A breast augmentation procedure aims to improve the aesthetic appearance of the breasts and breast profile. The exact technique is adjusted to the preferences of each individual.
Therefore, any woman desiring to enhance the shape and size of her breasts may elect to have a cosmetic, reconstructive operation of this nature. Using breast implants, breast augmentation is performed and helps correct tuberous breast asymmetry and deflated breasts.
Benefits of undergoing breast augmentation surgery:
Restoring breast volume lost during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The surgery helps one to achieve a more attractive appearance, which may boost self-confidence and self-esteem.
The majority of candidates who undergo this procedure obtain a proportionate appearance.
At Inform Clinics, body contouring procedures are performed by the best cosmetic surgeon in Hyderabad, Dr. Dushyanth Kalva. He has supported many people to get the desired body shape with these procedures and helped them feel confident about their looks and appearance.
