The approach
Reshaping the Whole Figure
Body contouring and body lift surgery address loose skin and stubborn fat across the abdomen, waist, thighs, arms and breasts, most often after major weight loss, pregnancy or the natural changes of ageing. Rather than treating each area in isolation, Dr. Leandro Junqueira evaluates how the abdomen, buttocks, breasts, arms and thighs relate to one another to build a cohesive, proportionate plan.
A body contouring plan may draw on liposuction, VASER HD, tummy tuck, buttock augmentation, breast surgery, arm lift, thigh lift or a full body lift, combined selectively according to your anatomy, skin quality and goals. The objective is a harmonious silhouette, not simply smaller measurements.
Why patients choose it
Whole Body Planning
Treatment areas are considered together so the final proportions read as balanced and cohesive.
Tailored Combination of Techniques
Liposuction, skin excision and lifting procedures are selected according to what each area actually needs.
Restored Firmness After Major Change
Designed for the loose skin and volume shifts that follow significant weight loss or pregnancy.
Athletic to Natural Definition
Technologies such as VASER HD allow contouring to range from subtle refinement to visible muscle definition.
Improved Skin Quality
BodyTite and Endolift can be incorporated where mild to moderate laxity is present.
Realistic, Staged Planning
When the full plan is extensive, procedures can be sequenced across stages rather than compressed into one operation.

Procedures That May Be Combined
A body contouring plan is built from the procedures most relevant to your anatomy. These are the most commonly combined.
Liposuction & VASER HD
Refines fat deposits and, where suited, adds athletic definition to the abdomen, waist and back.
Tummy Tuck & Buttock Augmentation
Tightens the abdominal wall while enhancing gluteal shape and projection.
Breast Augmentation or Mastopexy
Restores breast volume or position as part of an overall body restoration plan.
Arm and Thigh Lift
Addresses excess skin in the upper arms and thighs, commonly needed after major weight loss.
Before and After
Body Contouring & Body Lift FAQ
Body contouring can refer to a single procedure such as liposuction or a tummy tuck, while a full body lift is a more comprehensive combination addressing multiple areas, typically the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and arms, most often after significant weight loss.
Not always. Combining procedures can mean one recovery period, but safety takes priority over convenience. When a proposed combination would make surgery unnecessarily long or complex, Dr. Leandro Junqueira may recommend staging the plan across separate operations.
Yes. Body contouring is also suited to patients addressing post-pregnancy changes, ageing related skin laxity, or localized areas that resist diet and exercise, not only patients recovering from major weight loss.
During consultation, Dr. Leandro Junqueira evaluates skin quality, fat distribution, muscle laxity and your goals across the whole body, then proposes the combination of procedures that will create the most balanced, proportionate result.
Recovery depends on which procedures are combined. Most patients return to light activity within a couple of weeks, with compression garments, lymphatic drainage and structured follow up supporting healing across all treated areas.
