Body contouring surgery is surgery that removes excess sagging skin and fat while improving the shape of underlying support tissue. This kind of surgery is often done for patients who have undergone dramatic weight loss. Some examples of body contouring surgeries are arm lifts, breast lifts, lower body lifts, and tummy tucks.
