What Is Body Plastic Surgery?

Body plastic surgery refers to a group of surgical procedures aimed at reshaping and contouring various areas of the body. These treatments are ideal for people who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging and want to tighten loose skin, remove stubborn fat, or restore body proportion.

Procedures can target the abdomen, thighs, arms, and back, helping patients feel more confident and comfortable in their bodies.
