Natural-looking results begin with a thorough understanding of your anatomy. By removing only the excess skin and strategically tightening underlying tissues, our surgeons create smooth transitions between treated and untreated areas. Liposuction may be used to blend contours and avoid abrupt changes.

Skin quality, elasticity, and existing stretch marks influence how the tissues respond. Your surgeon will explain what improvements are achievable for your unique circumstances and will design incisions that follow natural body lines to keep results as discreet as possible.

Realistic expectations are key. Swelling, firmness, and scar maturation all evolve over months, and final outcomes depend on consistent weight maintenance, scar care, and healthy lifestyle choices.

Where Are the Incisions?

• Incision placement depends on the areas addressed and can often be concealed beneath underwear or bathing suits.

Incisions are carefully planned to follow natural contours and are closed with precision to support proper healing and minimize long-term visibility.

Is Scarring a Concern?

All surgery creates scars, but our meticulous technique, layered closure, and postoperative scar care protocols help scars fade and flatten over time. Most patients feel the trade-off is well worth the improvement in contour.

Scar Healing Timeline

• As your body heals, scars will change gradually over time:

Weeks 1-2
Scars may appear red and slightly raised
Months 1-3
Scars typically soften and begin to flatten
Around 6 months
Noticeable fading often occurs
1-2 years
Scars may continue to lighten and become less noticeable
Following post-operative instructions and recommended scar care plays an important role in how scars mature.
