Procedure FAQ

Clear answers before consultation.

These questions and answers are here to help you prepare for your consultation. Individual results vary, and any recommendation is made after an in-person evaluation.

How long should weight be stable before contouring?

Stability matters, but the ideal timing is individual and should be reviewed during consultation.

Can loose skin be treated with liposuction?

Loose skin usually requires skin removal or lift planning. Liposuction is better for localized fat.

Will procedures be staged?

They may be. Staging can support safety, recovery, and more focused contouring when multiple areas are involved.

Does this include GLP-1 weight loss patients?

The same planning logic may apply after GLP-1 assisted weight loss, especially when loose skin remains after weight stabilization.
