Body contouring encompasses procedures that aim at enhancing or restoring a more youthful profile of the abdomen, waistline and limbs. Wherever skin elasticity is adequate, Body Contouring usually refers to liposuction or liposculpture as a means to even the fatty tissue deposits and reduce localised excess.

When skin laxity is a problem, carefully planned excisions like in abdominoplasty (tummy-tuck) or thigh-lift can dramatically improve contour - at the expense of more significant scarring. Arm reduction or brachioplasty can also offer significant improvement in the contour of the arm.
This process can be sometimes considerably improved with a combination of surgery and non-surgical techniques such as manual lymphatic drainage, computerised presso-therapy or endermologie. They aim to improve circulation to the skin and underlying fatty tissue and in the process accelerate the body's own healing mechanisms.
