Body contouring covers a range of procedures aimed at reshaping areas that don't respond well to diet and exercise: liposuction, tummy tucks (abdominoplasty), body lifts after major weight loss, and non-surgical fat reduction like CoolSculpting or radiofrequency treatments. Liposuction itself removes localized fat deposits, typically from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, or under the chin, using a thin cannula inserted through small incisions. Some patients combine it with skin tightening procedures when they have loose skin rather than just excess fat.
We've identified 13 businesses in Mississauga offering these services, ranging from dedicated cosmetic surgery clinics to broader plastic surgery practices that include contouring alongside reconstructive work.
What to check before booking a consultation
- Whether the surgeon is board-certified in plastic surgery (not just a physician who performs cosmetic add-on procedures)
- Where the procedure takes place: an accredited surgical facility or hospital-affiliated clinic, not just a med-spa treatment room for anything involving anesthesia
- Before-and-after photos of their own patients, ideally with similar body types to yours
- How they handle complications or revisions, and whether that's spelled out before you commit
- Realistic expectations set during the consultation rather than aggressive sales pressure
