This is essentially obtained by treating excess fat by liposuction. Surgery can also remodel the abdomen, the arms and thighs to improve sagging of excess skin and fat caused by the aging process, pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Surgery for the abdomen (tummy tuck)

Tummy-tuck surgery or abdominoplasty, can flatten your abdomen by removing loose, excess fat and skin and tightening muscles in the abdominal wall. It can also remove some if not all of the stretch marks in your lower abdomen. It is popular following pregnancy, massive weight loss or whenever a flabby abdomen with weak muscles impairs body contour. The scar is situated above the pubis, like a caesarian scar, but longer.

Liposuction

Liposuction surgery sculpts your body, eliminating unwanted pockets of exercise and diet-resistant fat from the buttocks, hips, love handles, saddlebags, thighs, calves, ankles, breasts (including male breasts), back, arms and neck. Liposuction is often combined with other procedures to create a desired shape and is one of the safest and most popular cosmetic procedures.

The best results are obtained when the following 3 conditions are present:

• The excess fat is localized: abdomen, buttocks, inside face of thighs, knees...
• The skin is of a good quality, elastic without stretch marks.
• The patient is near the ideal weight.

Surgery of the buttocks

This procedure has become increasingly popular worldwide, with shapely buttocks often seen as a symbol of femininity and sensuality.

Three procedures are possible:

• In the case of a moderate increase required in the size of the buttocks, fat grafting is the best solution. It enables the contouring of the flanks ,back and abdomen by liposuction and by using the fat thus obtained to fill in the buttocks.
• To avoid surgery and in the case of a small increase in volume, an injection of hyaluronic acid can be carried out with a local anesthesia. The filler injected in this case is Macrolane, which allows to increase the volume up to about 200 cc. The consequences of the injection are not painful and your usual activities can be continued with the exception of sports activities which should be avoided for a week or so.
• For a large increase in volume buttocks implants are better to obtain a satisfactory result.
