Body Contouring After Weight Loss in Central London
Restoring confidence and body harmony after significant weight loss with expert surgical care at LSDC Healthcare.
After substantial weight reduction — whether through bariatric surgery or lifestyle change — many individuals are left with loose or excess skin that can affect comfort, mobility, and self-image.
At LSDC Healthcare, we provide consultant-led body contouring surgery designed to refine, sculpt, and restore the natural proportions of your body while maintaining safety and aesthetic excellence.
Our multidisciplinary approach combines plastic surgery, nutritional optimisation, and psychological support, ensuring that every patient achieves balanced, sustainable, and confidence-enhancing results.
What Is Body Contouring After Weight Loss?
Body contouring refers to a set of reconstructive and cosmetic surgical procedures performed to remove excess skin and fat, tighten underlying tissue, and reshape the body following major weight loss.
Common procedures include:
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) – removes excess abdominal skin and strengthens muscles.
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) – tightens sagging upper arms.
Thigh Lift – reshapes and firms inner or outer thighs.
Breast Lift or Reduction – restores breast contour and position.
Lower Body Lift – comprehensive contouring of abdomen, flanks, and buttocks.
Each treatment is tailored to the individual’s anatomy, goals, and previous surgical history.
Who Is Suitable for Body Contouring?
You may be a good candidate if you have:
Achieved a stable weight for at least 6–12 months after weight loss.
Excess or sagging skin causing physical discomfort or hygiene issues.
Completed bariatric surgery or significant non-surgical weight reduction.
No active medical conditions that increase surgical risk.
Patients are carefully assessed by our surgical team in collaboration with endocrinology and dietetics to ensure optimal safety and results.
