Post-Bariatric Body Contouring

The Grand Finale of Your Transformation

You’ve conquered the weight; now reveal the body. We surgically remove the “skin suit” that hides your hard work, restoring tight, athletic contours and complete freedom of movement.

Procedure Benefits

1: Total Structural Restoration

Massive weight loss often leaves behind skin that has lost its elasticity and cannot "snap back" on its own. This procedure doesn't just tighten; it reconstructs your silhouette, removing the heavy, hanging tissue to reveal the new shape you have achieved.

2: Functional Relief & Comfort

Beyond aesthetics, excess skin can be physically burdensome, making movement difficult and causing persistent irritation or hygiene issues. Removing this tissue eliminates chafing and restores your ability to exercise and move with absolute freedom.

3: 360-Degree Sculpting

Dr. Medany specializes in the "Lower Body Lift" (Belt Lipectomy), which addresses the abdomen, outer thighs, and buttocks in a single circumferential procedure. This ensures a balanced, continuous lift from every angle, not just the front.

Your Journey to a New Silhouette

Step 1: The Blueprint (Consultation)

Dr. Medany assesses skin laxity and fat distribution in areas like the jawline, neck, or under-eyes to determine the precise laser intensity required.

Step 2: The Procedure

Performed under general anesthesia. We precisely remove the redundant skin and fat, then suspend and tighten the underlying tissues to create a firm, lasting support structure.

Step 3: Recovery & Reveal

Drains are typically used to prevent fluid accumulation. You will wear a medical compression garment to support your new contours. Most patients return to normal daily activities within 2 to 3 weeks.

Procedure Guide

Post-Bariatric Body Contouring (often called a Body Lift) is the essential final step for patients who have lost significant weight (40kg+) through bariatric surgery or diet. It solves the problem of “skin redundancy” that exercise cannot fix. Dr. Mohamed Medany offers a comprehensive range of lifts, including the Lower Body Lift (lifting the butt, hips, and thighs) , Upper Body Lift (Back and Arms) , and Thigh Lifts. This is reconstructive artistry designed to make your outside match your inside.

Safety First: We prioritize your metabolic health and safety, often staging procedures to minimize time under anesthesia.

Hidden Scars: While long incisions are necessary, they are placed strategically in natural body lines to be as discreet as possible.

Frequently asked question

Safety is our non-negotiable priority. Combining too many areas increases surgical time and risk. Dr. Medany usually recommends "staging" surgeries (e.g., Lower Body Lift first, then Upper Body Lift later) to ensure a smooth and safe recovery.

Body contouring involves removing large amounts of skin, so scars are inevitable. However, Dr. Medany uses advanced closure techniques to ensure they heal as fine lines, and they will fade significantly over time (12-18 months).

While you will lose several kilograms of skin and fat, this is a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method. The primary goal is shape, tone, and skin tightness, not the number on the scale.
