Body Contouring Cosmetic Surgery
We live in an era where the perception of beauty is largely created by omnipresent media where perfect and harmonious curves are ubiquitous.
This phenomenon has profoundly changed our perception of universal beauty. Historically, clothing, especially for women, was very loose and hid body shapes; today it has become extremely tight, minimalist and does not allow concealing any defect in our silhouette.
Of course, beauty standards vary across different parts of the world. Nevertheless, everyone aspires to perfect curves, projected and firm breasts, round buttocks, and for men, the six-pack.
For some, it is possible, at the cost of long and hard training, to achieve a perfect result. Unfortunately for the majority of us, between family, work and daily life, it is difficult to maintain a truly sporty lifestyle.
Body disharmony causes significant complexes from a young age, whether from localised fat deposits, excess skin from significant weight loss, or after pregnancies.

Concerns
Your silhouette depends on several factors. One of the most important is genetic and independent of us, as we inherit our silhouette from our father or mother, and certainly not from a superbly built neighbour.
Other important factors are lifestyle, sports activity and eating habits.
Body contour defects can stem from 2 types of problems:
- A volumetric surplus such as the accumulation of localised fat (saddlebags, flanks, abdomen, inner thighs, inner knees, etc.).
- Skin laxity in the thighs, arms, abdomen and buttocks.
It is essential to understand that in body volume distribution, everything is a matter of proportion.
For example, buttocks that appear insufficient in volume, after surrounding volumes have been removed, will proportionally appear with the desired volume.
It is therefore essential to redesign the silhouette to achieve natural curves desired by the patient, for the most harmonious body possible.
Solutions
Body contouring surgery is body contour surgery, harmonising volumes in both women and men.
Depending on the problems identified, cosmetic surgery offers solutions grouped into 3 major categories:
- liposuction, which removes excess localised fat.
- fat transfer (lipofilling) which can fill certain missing volumes with fat.
- removal of excess skin with skin tightening where possible: abdominoplasty, arm lift, thigh lift and possibly circumferential body lift.
These last 3 procedures are more advisable in the context of reconstructive surgery following massive weight loss, as the benefits of these procedures outweigh the scarring they produce.
Dr Weiss will carefully analyse your body and propose the method best suited to your concern, to achieve a harmonious and desired silhouette.
Dr Weiss will propose a surgical plan if it is impossible to address your concern with a single procedure.
