Body Contouring After Weight Loss

Following significant weight loss, many patients are left with excess, sagging skin. This is more than a cosmetic concern; redundant skin can cause physical discomfort, persistent skin irritations, and difficulty with daily movement.

Our surgeons provide specialised Body Contouring Surgery to address these issues, helping you complete the final stage of your physical transformation.

  • Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck): Removal of excess abdominal skin and tightening of the underlying muscles.
  • Body Lift & Skin Reductions: Targeted removal of redundant skin from the midsection, arms, or thighs.

Accessing Superannuation for Surgery: We understand that the cost of body contouring can be a significant consideration. Many patients may be eligible for the Early Release of Superannuation on compassionate grounds to fund these procedures, particularly when the excess skin is causing documented physical health issues. Our team can provide the necessary medical documentation to support your application process.
