Body contouring covers a range of procedures aimed at reshaping specific areas of the body once diet and exercise have plateaued. Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits through small incisions and a suction device, while related procedures like tummy tucks, arm lifts, and non-surgical fat reduction (such as CoolSculpting or radiofrequency treatments) address loose skin, muscle laxity, or smaller fat pockets without a scalpel. Some patients combine procedures, for example liposuction with a tummy tuck after significant weight loss or pregnancy. We've identified 7 practices in Hamilton offering these services, ranging from surgical clinics to med-spas offering non-invasive options.
Not all providers are equally qualified to perform these procedures. Look for board certification in plastic surgery, a track record of before-and-after photos from real patients, and a clear explanation of which technique fits your goals and body type. A good surgeon will also be honest about limits: liposuction removes fat, not loose skin, and results depend heavily on your skin elasticity and overall health. Beware of anyone pushing a single technique for every patient or downplaying recovery time and risks.
