If you have recently undergone major weight loss due to healthy lifestyle changes or bariatric surgery, you may feel self-conscious due to excess or loose skin. Total body contouring surgery is an effective way to address these concerns and help you achieve a slimmer, more sculpted appearance.
Total body contouring surgery combines cosmetic procedures that address concerns such as excess fat and sagging or loose skin.
With the help of an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Rachel Walker, you can consolidate multiple surgeries into one session, lowering costs and stress on the body and shortening your overall recovery time.
While you explore these procedures, it’s important to remember everyone is different. This is not a one-size-fits-all procedure; each patient may combine different ones to reach their goal. When you consult Dr. Walker, she will discuss your options and which procedures best address your physique goals.

Common Total Body Contouring Procedures
Tummy tucks
A tummy tuck is designed to reshape the midsection. This procedure removes excess skin and fat and tightens the abdominal muscles. Tummy tucks are often grouped with other procedures, such as breast lifts and liposuction, to achieve more dramatic results.
Liposuction
Liposuction utilizes a cannula (a small tube) to remove fat deposits from targeted areas in the body. It can be done on different areas of the body, including the neck, chest, arms, and stomach.
Liposuction is a common procedure used in total body contouring because it can remove areas of stubborn fat that may have been unresponsive to exercise and weight loss.
Thigh Lifts
Thigh lifts can remove excess skin and generally tighten up the appearance of your thighs. Thigh lifts are often included in total body contouring and can be done with other procedures as long as the patient is in generally good health.
