Body contour consultations
Areas of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise, loose skin and cellulite are common at every age. Our doctors offer minimally invasive procedures under local anaesthetic and will help you understand what’s realistic for your body.
All procedures carry risks and results vary. Read about recovery and risks below.
About body contour concerns
Fat distribution is largely genetic, and some areas, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs and upper arms, can stay the same despite a healthy lifestyle. Skin can also loosen after weight loss, pregnancy or with age.
Cellulite is caused by fibrous bands under the skin pulling down while fat pushes up, which is why it’s common even in people who are lean. These procedures are not a weight-loss treatment.
