Body Procedures Sydney

If you are considering body procedures in Sydney, you may be looking to improve contour, definition, or skin laxity after pregnancy, weight change, ageing, or major weight loss. Modern body contouring surgery is not about simply removing fat — it is about reshaping the body while preserving natural proportion and balance.

A/Prof Tim Papadopoulos (FRACS) offers a comprehensive range of surgical body procedures, including advanced body contouring techniques for post-pregnancy patients and those following significant weight loss. Each treatment plan is tailored to your anatomy, skin quality, scar tolerance, and long-term goals.

Body Procedures Offered

Depending on your needs and anatomy, options may include:

Some patients benefit most from staged surgery, while others may be candidates for combined procedures. Safety, recovery, and scar placement always guide the surgical plan.

Post Weight Loss Body Contouring

Patients who have experienced significant weight loss often develop skin laxity across multiple body regions. In these cases, surgery aims to restore contour and improve skin fit, including:

  • abdominal tightening

  • waist and hip reshaping

  • lower back and buttock contouring

  • removal of excess skin from arms and thighs

This is where careful planning, scar positioning, and a structured recovery pathway become essential.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Body Contouring Surgery?

You may be a suitable candidate if you:

  • Have loose abdominal skin after pregnancy or weight loss

  • Feel clothing fits poorly due to skin folds

  • Want a flatter waistline and improved abdominal contour

  • Have stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and training

  • Have skin laxity affecting arms, thighs, or lower body

The best candidates are generally weight stable and committed to recovery and post-operative care.

What to Expect (Consultation & Recovery)

During consultation, Dr Tim will discuss:

  • skin quality and the true limits of non-surgical options

  • procedure selection (and whether staging is safer)

  • scar locations and how scars mature over time

  • surgical risks and prevention strategies

  • recovery timeline, garments, and post-operative support

Most body procedures involve swelling and firmness early on. Results evolve gradually and continue to refine over several months.
