When you first meet with a surgeon, you will discuss a few important things. The doctor will ask about your goals, medical history, health conditions, allergies, and previous surgeries. He will also ask you if you are taking any medications, vitamins, or over-the-counter drugs. He will also ask you about the consumption of alcohol, smoking, and other illegal drugs.
The doctor will also measure the area and examine it properly. He will take pictures of the target site and discuss different treatment options and will recommend the best treatment. He will also discuss the risks, and side effects of anesthesia and pain if you are planning for a surgical option.
You may have to sign a consent form in which you will permit the doctor to perform the surgery. You also agree that you have fully understood the risks of the surgery.
Your doctor may ask you to get blood tests done, stop smoking and stop taking certain medications depending on which type of body contouring surgery you choose.

Marking the sites before starting the procedure
Giving either local or general anaesthesia based on the type of surgery
Cleaning and preparing the surgical site
Making several incisions on the skin based on the type of procedure chosen to remove excess fat and tissue
Removing excess skin and fat (liposuction or other methods can be used) from the target areas
Closing all the incisions after the procedure is completed and applying bandages
You can go home on the same day after the surgery. You should come with a family member because you will need someone to drive home.
