Body contouring surgery is most effective for patients who are at or near a stable weight. These are not weight loss procedures — liposuction removes localised fat deposits, and abdominoplasty removes excess skin and tightens muscle. Neither is a substitute for weight management, and Mr Potter will discuss the implications of timing during your consultation.

Procedures are frequently performed in combination — abdominoplasty with liposuction, arm lift alongside other body procedures, labiaplasty with labia majora liposculpting. Mr Potter assesses each patient’s anatomy in full before making any recommendation, and will always explain clearly what a procedure will and will not achieve.
