A thorough body assessment is key to developing the right treatments to meet your goals and expectations. Procedures include abdominoplasty, liposuction, inner thigh lift and brachioplasty.

Surgery is performed under general anaesthetic procedures. On the day of surgery, you will be admitted to a fully accredited hospital with an expected one or two-night stay, depending on the nature and effects of the procedures. Following surgery, drains will be inserted to remove excess fluids and once removed, you will be able to go home.

Expect to be mobile from day one and back in routine and exercising within four weeks. Dr Page recommends taking at least four weeks off work to ensure proper recovery; however, this timing may differ depending on the combinations of operations done at the same time.

All body contouring surgery results in some scarring, although its extent depends on the techniques used. Initially, scars tend to be red and raised for the first six weeks and fade to white over the next six months.

Risks and Complications

As body contouring encompasses various procedures, the specific risks and complications can vary depending on the surgeries involved. It is best to consult with Dr Rohan Page to discuss the potential risks and complications associated with your specific body contouring procedures.
