Body Contouring in Kenya: Plastic Surgery - Davinci Medical Group
What is body contouring?
Dramatic weight loss from either lifestyle changes or surgical procedures may leave behind sagging skin and tissues that have reduced elasticity to conform to the new body size.
Surgical body contouring after a dramatic weight loss helps remove excess sagging skin and fat. It also improves the underlying support tissue giving a better proportioned appearance with smooth contours.
There are several body contouring procedures which include:
Face lift
Arm lift
Breast lift
Lower body lifts
Medial thigh lifts
Tummy tucks
Who is a good candidate for body contouring?
Adults whose weight loss has stabilized
Individuals without medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus that may impair healing
Non smokers – smoking impairs healing
Individuals with a general positive outlook and have realistic body goals
Individuals who want to live a healthy lifestyle by embracing proper nutrition and fitness.
