Body Contouring Surgery in Mysore | Liposuction, Tummy Tuck

About Body Contouring at Cosmohs

Body contouring encompasses a range of surgical procedures designed to reshape and redefine the body's contours. Whether you've lost significant weight, want to refine stubborn areas of fat, or address loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy, our comprehensive body sculpting procedures can help you achieve the body shape you desire. Prof. Dr. Mohan G. Kakola specializes in creating natural-looking body contours that enhance your overall proportion.

Body contouring is particularly popular among patients who have undergone significant weight loss, either through diet and exercise or bariatric surgery. After substantial weight loss, many patients are left with excess, sagging skin that diet and exercise alone cannot address. Our surgical approaches remove excess skin and reshape underlying tissues to reveal the slim body you've worked hard to achieve.

We understand that body contouring is about more than aesthetics—it's about confidence, comfort, and feeling good in your own skin. Each procedure is customized to your specific anatomy and goals, ensuring results that are proportionate and natural-looking.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes unwanted fat deposits from areas resistant to diet and exercise. Using advanced tumescent liposuction or ultrasound-assisted techniques, Dr. Kakola carefully extracts fat while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. This procedure is ideal for patients with good skin elasticity who want to refine specific body areas.

Common areas treated include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, buttocks, arms, chin, and neck. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure but rather a body sculpting technique to remove localized fat deposits and improve body contours. Results are visible within 2-3 weeks, with continued improvement over several months as swelling subsides.

Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, though wearing compression garments for 4-6 weeks optimizes results. Liposuction produces dramatic improvements in body shape and can be combined with other procedures like tummy tuck or body lift for comprehensive body transformation.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty removes excess abdominal skin and tightens loosened abdominal muscles to create a flatter, firmer abdomen. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who have undergone significant weight loss or pregnancy, where the abdominal skin has stretched beyond its ability to naturally retract.

The procedure involves a carefully planned incision typically made below the bikini line, allowing excess skin to be removed and abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis) to be tightened. The incision is closed meticulously to minimize scarring. For patients with minimal excess skin, mini-abdominoplasty may be an option.

Recovery takes 2-4 weeks for most normal activities, with final results visible after several months. Tummy tuck produces dramatic improvements in abdominal appearance and is one of the most satisfying body contouring procedures. Results are permanent as long as weight remains stable.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Arm lift addresses sagging skin and excess fat in the upper arms, a common concern after significant weight loss. The procedure removes excess skin and underlying fat, creating more defined, toned-looking arms. An incision is typically placed along the inner arm from armpit to elbow, allowing the surgeon to remove excess tissue and tighten the skin.

Arm lift is often combined with liposuction of the upper arm to provide optimal contouring. Results are immediately visible and continue to improve over several months. Most patients return to light activities within 2 weeks and resume exercise within 4-6 weeks.

This procedure transforms the appearance of the arms, allowing patients to wear sleeveless clothing with confidence. Results are permanent, making arm lift a worthwhile investment for patients bothered by loose arm skin.

Thigh Lift

Thigh lift removes excess skin and fat from the thighs, creating a smoother, more contoured thigh appearance. This procedure is especially popular among patients after substantial weight loss when the thighs develop significant loose skin and sagging. Options include medial thigh lift (inner thigh), lateral thigh lift (outer thigh and buttocks), or circumferential thigh lift for more extensive excess skin.

Incisions are carefully placed to minimize visibility, often hidden in the groin or along natural skin creases. Dr. Kakola may combine thigh lift with liposuction for optimal contouring. Recovery takes 3-4 weeks, with most patients resuming normal activities and gradually returning to exercise over 4-6 weeks.

Thigh lift produces dramatic improvements in thigh appearance and allows patients to wear shorts and swimwear with confidence after years of avoiding these clothing options.

Comprehensive Body Lift

For patients with extensive loose skin after massive weight loss, a comprehensive body lift may be recommended. This combines abdominoplasty, thigh lift, arm lift, and buttock lift in a coordinated approach to reshape the entire body. The procedure can sometimes be staged over multiple surgeries.

Prof. Dr. Kakola works closely with bariatric surgery teams and weight loss specialists to ensure optimal timing and coordination of body contouring procedures. Many insurance plans may cover body contouring after bariatric surgery under specific circumstances.
