Surgical correction is planned around your individual findings. Tissue, skin quality, medical history and the desired result must all be considered. Surgery leaves scars; their course and visibility vary from person to person.
Personal consultation and planning
Only an in-person medical examination can establish which treatment may be suitable. The consultation covers your goals, alternatives, risks and the next steps.
Preparation includes discussing your medical history, medication and previous procedures. The treating clinician, actual treatment location and follow-up arrangements are clarified before any firm agreement is made.

Interpreting the evidence
BODY-Q separately measures body image, excess skin and quality of life. It shows why contouring discussions should also cover daily life, symptoms and scars.
This study developed an assessment questionnaire. It does not prove the effectiveness of an individual treatment.
Source & context
The BODY-Q: A Patient-Reported Outcome Instrument for Weight Loss and Body Contouring Treatments.
Aesthetic treatments also carry risks. A particular result, a pain-free experience or an uncomplicated recovery cannot be guaranteed. Your medical consultation should include an individual explanation of the risks.
Aftercare and everyday life
Recovery and the return to normal activity depend on the treatment and your individual healing process. Swelling, bruising and discomfort may occur. Your treating doctor will explain aftercare and when you can resume everyday activities and exercise.
