Those with realistic expectations and the desire for lasting improvement often see the most transformative results.

A Step-by-Step Look at the Body Contouring Experience

Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation, during which Dr. Duncan discusses your aesthetic goals and recommends the best combination of surgical or non-surgical body contouring options. Each plan is unique, designed to achieve balance and proportion.

Procedures are performed under anesthesia or local sedation, depending on the scope.
Dr. Duncan removes excess skin, redefines contours, and tightens underlying tissues.
Liposuction or energy-based devices may be added to smooth transitions.
Surgical areas are closed with precision and dressed for optimal healing.
Post-operative care instructions are provided to ensure safe recovery.

Body Contouring Recovery and Results

Recovery time varies depending on the number of areas treated. Most patients return to normal activity within two to three weeks, with swelling continuing to improve for several months. As healing progresses, smoother, firmer contours emerge, revealing a shape that aligns with your weight loss achievements and long-term goals. The results of body contouring after weight loss can last for many years when paired with a stable lifestyle.

Body Contouring After Weight Loss Frequently Asked Questions

Can I combine multiple areas in one surgery?

Yes. Dr. Duncan often combines procedures, such as a tummy tuck and thigh lift, for comprehensive reshaping and balanced results.

What’s the difference between surgical and non-surgical body contouring?

Surgical contouring removes excess skin, while non-surgical body contouring uses technologies like radiofrequency or HIFEM to tighten and tone without incisions.

Will I have visible scars?

Scars are inevitable with surgical contouring, but Dr. Duncan places them strategically and provides guidance to help them fade over time.

What are the risks of body contouring surgery?

Risks may include infection, bleeding, delayed healing, or contour irregularities. Dr. Duncan’s meticulous approach and close postoperative care help minimize these risks.

How soon can I return to work or exercise?

Most patients resume desk work in two weeks and light exercise after four to six weeks, depending on individual healing progress.

Will insurance cover my procedure?

Most procedures for body contouring after weight loss are considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance. Financing options may be available.
