Achieving a balanced, sculpted physique after massive weight-loss, pregnancy, or simply years of stubborn fat deposits can be challenging. Body contouring surgery—a customised combination of procedures such as tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, and liposuction—removes excess skin, tightens muscles, and restores smooth body lines. At Dr Arun Panda’s NABH-accredited cosmetic centre in Navi Mumbai, you receive evidence-based planning, transparent pricing, and life-changing results.
Benefits of Comprehensive Body Contouring
- Eliminates Excess Skin & Fat
After significant weight-loss, loose skin can cause rashes, hygiene issues, and discomfort. Surgical excision and strategic liposuction remove redundant skin and residual fat in one session or staged approach.
- Restores Muscle Tone & Posture
Techniques like abdominoplasty repair diastasis recti and core laxity, improving spinal support and reducing back pain.
- Enhances Clothing Fit & Confidence
Patients enjoy wearing fitted clothes, swimwear, and athletic wear without chafing or self-consciousness.
- Long-Lasting Results
With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, improvements are durable. Most patients feel motivated to maintain fitness after seeing their new silhouette.

Staging vs. Single-Stage
- Single-Stage: Ideal for fit patients with moderate laxity and BMI ≤ 30; limits anaesthesia to one sitting.
- Staged: Recommended when operating time would exceed 6 hours or BMI > 30; enhances safety and recovery.
Anaesthesia & Safety Protocols
All surgeries use general anaesthesia administered by senior anaesthetists. Continuous temperature, thrombo-prophylaxis, and goal-directed fluid therapy ensure optimal outcomes.
What to Expect: Step-by-Step Journey

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is body contouring surgery safe after weight-loss surgery?
Yes, provided your weight has stabilised for at least 6 months and nutritional markers (albumin, haemoglobin) are normal.Q2: How painful is the recovery?
Pain is moderate. We use a multimodal protocol—long-acting nerve blocks, IV paracetamol, and oral analgesics—that keeps discomfort well controlled.Q3: Will I need drains?
Depends on the procedure. Circumferential lifts typically require 2–3 drains for 2–3 days; liposuction alone usually does not.Q4: How visible are the scars?
Dr Panda positions incisions in natural creases or underwear lines. With silicone gel, SPF, and optional LED therapy, scars fade substantially within a year.Q5: How soon can I exercise?
Walking starts Day 1. Light cardio at Week 4, strength training at Week 8, and core work after Week 10, unless advised otherwise.Q6: Are results permanent?
Yes—skin cannot “re-stretch” to its previous excess. However, significant weight fluctuations or pregnancy can alter outcomes.Patient Testimonials
