Body Countouring

Perfecting Every Curve

Body contouring surgery, also referred to as body lift, encompasses a range of procedures designed to reshape and refine various areas of the body by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the underlying tissue.

These surgeries are particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or those who wish to enhance their body shape by addressing sagging or loose skin.

At Estedica, body contouring surgery is more than just a procedure — it’s a transformative experience designed to help you achieve the body shape you’ve always desired.

Your Guide to The Journey Ahead

  • The ideal candidate for a facelift is someone who:

    • Is experiencing signs of aging such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of muscle tone in the face and neck.

    • Is in good overall health, without medical conditions that could impair healing.

    • Has realistic expectations and a positive outlook.

    • Is a non-smoker or willing to quit smoking well in advance of the surgery.

  • Estedica offers a range of body contouring procedures to cater to different needs:

    Body Lift
    A comprehensive procedure that targets the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, removing excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying muscles. A body lift is ideal for individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight and want to improve the overall contour of their lower body.

    Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
    Focused on reshaping the upper arms, this procedure removes excess skin and fat to create a more toned and defined appearance. An arm lift is perfect for those who have sagging skin in the upper arms, often referred to as “bat wings,” due to aging or weight loss.

    Thigh Lift
    Designed to reshape and tighten the thighs, this procedure removes excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thighs. A thigh lift is ideal for individuals looking to achieve smoother, firmer thighs, especially after significant weight loss.

    Buttock Lift
    A buttock lift enhances the shape and tone of the buttocks by removing excess skin and repositioning the underlying tissue. This procedure is often combined with a body lift to achieve a more balanced and proportionate lower body contour.

  • Improved Body Shape and Proportion: Achieve a more sculpted and toned appearance by addressing excess skin and fat in targeted areas.

    Boosted Confidence: Feel more confident and comfortable in your body, enhancing your overall self-esteem and quality of life.

    Long-lasting Results: With proper care and maintenance, the results of body contouring surgery can be long-lasting, allowing you to enjoy your refined physique for years to come.

    Comprehensive rejuvenation: By combining multiple procedures, body contouring can address several areas of concern in one surgery, providing a more comprehensive enhancement to your overall body shape.

  • The procedure can take 4 to 8 hours, depending on the number of areas being treated and the complexity of the surgery.

  • Recovery generally takes 4 to 6 weeks, with most clients resuming light activities after 2 weeks, though full healing may take several months.

    The recovery process after a body lift involves multiple stages as the body adjusts to the changes and heals. While timelines may vary, the general stages of healing are as follows:

    1. The Initial Days
    The first few days after surgery are characterized by swelling, bruising, and some soreness. You may feel tightness around the treated areas, which is a natural response to the procedure. Drains may be in place to prevent fluid buildup, and mobility might be limited initially.

    2. Week One
    During the first week, swelling and discomfort begin to reduce. Bruising in the treated areas remains visible but gradually starts fading. Patients often experience an improvement in mobility, though movement should still be limited to light activity.

    3. Weeks Two to Four
    Swelling continues to decrease, and bruising fades significantly. By this stage, most patients are able to engage in light activities and resume some aspects of daily life. The incisions may still feel sensitive, and compression garments may be worn to support the healing process.

    4. Months Two to Three
    During this period, the body begins to feel more comfortable and natural. Residual swelling diminishes further, revealing a more defined contour. Scars from incisions start to mature, appearing less prominent as time progresses.

    5. Long-Term Healing
    Complete recovery and final results from a body lift may take several months to a year. Over time, scars continue to fade and blend with the surrounding skin, while the treated areas reveal their enhanced and sculpted appearance.

    A body lift recovery is a gradual journey that leads to transformative results, with each stage offering visible progress toward a more contoured and refined physique.

  • Typically, a 1 to 2-night hospital stay is required, followed by an additional 10 to 14 days at a hotel for initial recovery and follow-up appointments.

The Procedure

  • Your journey begins with an in-depth, personalized consultation. During this session, we discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and desires.

  • General anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort and relaxation throughout the procedure, allowing you to be fully at ease.

  • The body contouring surgery itself may involve one or more procedures depending on your personalized treatment plan.

    These procedures can include:

    Body Lift

    A comprehensive procedure that targets the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. During a body lift, excess skin is removed, underlying tissues are tightened, and the remaining skin is repositioned to create a smoother, more toned appearance. This procedure is ideal for patients who have experienced significant weight loss and wish to improve the contour of their lower body.

    Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

    This procedure focuses on reshaping the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. The incisions are typically placed along the inside of the arm or the back of the arm, where they can be easily concealed. The result is a more defined and toned arm appearance.

    Thigh Lift

    The thigh lift targets sagging skin and excess fat on the inner or outer thighs. Incisions are carefully placed along the groin or inner thigh to minimize visible scarring. The procedure tightens and smooths the thigh area, enhancing the overall contour and providing a more youthful, firm appearance.

    Buttocks Lift

    This procedure enhances the shape and tone of the buttocks by removing excess skin and repositioning the underlying tissue. A buttock lift can also be combined with a body lift to create a more balanced and proportionate lower body contour.

    Each procedure is meticulously performed with the utmost precision, ensuring that the results are both natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing. Throughout the surgery, our surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize scarring and optimize the final outcome.

  • Once the desired contours have been achieved, the incisions are carefully closed with sutures. Our surgeons pay meticulous attention to detail during the closure process to ensure that scarring is minimized and healing is optimized. In some cases, surgical tapes, adhesives, or dressings may be applied to further protect the incisions and promote a smooth recovery.

  • The recovery phase is a critical part of your body contouring journey. At Estedica, we provide comprehensive post-operative care to ensure that your healing process is as smooth and comfortable as possible. You will receive detailed instructions on how to care for your surgical sites, manage any discomfort, and monitor the signs of healing. These instructions may include guidelines on wearing compression garments, managing drainage tubes (if applicable), and avoiding strenuous activities.
