Body contouring involves a combination of surgical techniques used to shape your body with the aim of improving the appearance and overall silhouette, defining and (re)creating curves and proportions. The goal is to achieve a more harmonious and aesthetic body shape that cannot be obtained through exercise and a healthy diet alone.
After pregnancy, significant weight loss, or natural age-related changes, the body can undergo noticeable transformations. Breast volume and shape may change, the skin can lose elasticity, and fat distribution may shift, leaving the body’s proportions feeling unbalanced.
A mommy makeover or body contouring is a tailored combination treatment designed to restore a harmonious body shape by addressing multiple areas in one comprehensive procedure.
The procedure may include:
Tummy tuck to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles
Breast surgery (lift, reduction, or augmentation) to restore fullness, shape, and symmetry
Liposuction of specific areas to create improved proportions and contours
At Sculpture, we use advanced surgical techniques that ensure precise shaping with a focus on proportions, symmetry, and natural results. Incisions are strategically placed to leave the smallest and most discreet scars possible.
As a new option, the treatment can be completed with skin tightening, which enhances skin firmness and provides a smoother, more even result. This combination of surgical and skin-tightening techniques allows for both structural correction and aesthetic refinement of the outcome.
Each patient receives an individual treatment plan, where the choice of procedures, techniques, and combinations is based on body type, skin quality, health condition, and personal wishes for the result. The goal is to restore or enhance the body’s natural balance – both visually and functionally.
Many women seek body contouring after menopause, when body shape often changes – and despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle, more fat may accumulate around the abdomen and hips while the waistline disappears. With body contouring, it is possible to address these changes.
After pregnancy, many women want correction of a C-section scar and the “belly pouch” that does not go away despite exercise. There may also be a wish to remove excess skin and correct separated abdominal muscles. Many believe this will always require a long scar between the hip bones. This is often not the case. Frequently, liposculpturing combined with removal of excess skin through a mini tummy tuck and mini scar can be the solution. My goal is that scars are not visible when you…

The duration depends on the number of areas being treated and the procedures selected. A complete mommy makeover typically lasts 3–6 hours. The time includes preparation, surgery, and recovery. For larger procedures, an overnight stay at the clinic is often recommended.
A mommy makeover is a combination of surgical procedures performed in the same operation, typically including a tummy tuck, breast surgery (lift, reduction, or augmentation), and liposuction.
Body contouring also refers to overall treatment of body shape but is often used after significant weight loss or aging and may include additional procedures tailored to the body’s needs.
Depending on the needs, the following areas may be included:
• Abdomen – removal of excess skin and, if necessary, tightening of the abdominal muscles
• Breasts – lift, reduction, or augmentation to restore shape and volume
• Fat deposits – targeted liposuction of areas such as hips, thighs, back, or arms
• Skin tightening – improves skin structure and firmness
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon combines the necessary techniques based on your individual plan to maintain proportions and symmetry. Incisions are placed strategically to minimize visible scarring. At the end of the procedure, skin tightening may be added to optimize the appearance of the skin.
Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the procedure. For combined surgeries, you should expect:
• 2–4 weeks before resuming light daily activities
• 6–8 weeks before engaging in physically demanding activities or sports
Swelling, tenderness, and bruising are normal in the first weeks and gradually subside.
The results can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight. However, natural aging, hormonal changes, and pregnancy may affect the body’s shape over time.
As with all surgical procedures, there are risks, including:
• Infection
• Bleeding or hematoma
• Temporary numbness in the skin or nipples
• Scars (usually discreet, but may vary)
• Irregularities in the skin surface
• Need for additional correction
The surgeon will review all relevant risks and possible complications with you before the procedure, so you can make an informed decision.
