Abstract:
Body contouring surgeons encounter a wide range of deformities affecting multiple areas of the body. Combining and staging procedures can assist in optimizing outcomes, but there is no one-size-fits-all approach to surgical sequencing and timing. A meticulous, individualized approach to preoperative planning can lead to reliable, aesthetically pleasing results that align with the patient's goals and preferences. In this article, we present our latest ideas on circumferential body contouring surgery and discuss the integration of lower body lift procedures with those of the abdomen, upper body, breasts, back, and arms to create a comprehensive 360° transformation.
