Our body’s natural proportions and curves are affected by weight gain and loss, pregnancy, gravity, and aging. When our body weight shifts, we may see significant disproportions in various body areas as well as sagging skin and excess fat. As we get older, our skin tends to lose the elasticity and firm contour it had when we were younger. Even though we may lose weight, our skin does not have the tight tone it once had, so it lacks the elasticity necessary to conform to a new, smaller body size. After major weight loss, undergoing body contouring surgery can significantly improve the shape and tone of your underlying tissue as well as remove your excess, sagging fat and skin. Body contouring helps shape, tighten, firm, and tone your underlying tissues so you can achieve a more normal body appearance with smoother contours. This type of surgery can increase your self-esteem and improve your overall body image.
