How our body looks, depends on our age, genetics and lifestyle. Its’ appearance will change with fluctuations in weight, pregnancy and certain medical conditions. Everyone has their own perception of their body and the choice of cosmetic surgery for body contouring is highly individual. Dr. Thompson recognizes this and will explain all your options depending on your personal goals. Dr. Thompson will see you on 2 occasions before you embark upon your chosen body contouring procedure. The first visit is the consultation where you will discuss your concerns and learn about the surgical possibilities. She will show before and after photographs during your consultation. You will make your final decision during your second visit with Dr. Thompson, after you have had time to reflect on the various surgical possibilities. The most common body contouring procedures that Dr. Thompson performs include abdominoplasty and liposuction. The clinic also offers non-surgical body contouring for those who wish to avoid an operation, with the latest UltraShape technology.
