Body Contouring Customized to Your Unique Anatomy
Dr. Plant takes a customized approach to every procedure, combining techniques that best suit your unique anatomy and goals—often in ways other surgeons won’t. Depending on your needs, your body contouring plan may include one or more of the following procedures:
Liposuction
Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that involves making tiny incisions placed in well hidden areas (bikini area, armpits etc..) that allow Dr. Plant to remove excess subcutaneous fat in areas that can be resistant to diet and exercise. By using one or more of the different liposuction techniques in his repertoire (such as VASER, Power Assisted Liposuction and SAFELipo) to customize an approach that meets your unique goals, Dr. Plant can target unwanted fat pretty much anywhere on your body.
Brazilian Butt Lift
This procedure involves using liposuction to harvest fat from areas you don’t want it and transfer it to the butt and hips to get you the “perfect” hourglass shape. This is the perfect procedure to help create curves in areas that just can’t be targeted in the gym, like the hip dips and the lower buttock curves. Once upon a time this procedure was exclusively associated with unnatural and overly dramatic curves, however by emphasising the creation of “nice butts” rather than “big butts” Dr. Plant has refined it to be able to provide curves that will fit your frame perfectly and no one will know you’ve had them surgically enhanced unless you tell them…
Breast Augmentation
Although it is not technically a “body contouring” procedure, a breast augmentation is a very common procedure performed along with body contouring procedures because there is no way to increase the size of the breasts with diet or exercise.
Mini Thighplasty
Tightens and reshapes the inner thigh by combining liposuction with a small incision in the groin crease to remove excess fat and tighten the skin for a more toned look.
Lipo360
This is one of the most powerful body contouring procedures in Dr. Plant’s toolbelt. Using liposuction to treat the entire abdomen, flanks and full back Dr. Plant can dramatically narrow the waist and completely reshape your silhouette. For an even more powerful change, this procedure can be combined with a fat transfer to the butt and/or hips to truly refine the entire hourglass.
No-Drain Tummy Tuck
Flattens and tightens the abdomen by removing excess skin and repairing stretched or separated muscles for a toned, sculpted midsection.
Breast Lift
Restores a youthful breast shape by lifting and reshaping sagging breasts, often combined with an augmentation or fat transfer for the best overall results.
Gynecomastia Correction
Up to 70% of men suffer from some degree of gynecomastia, or the presence of breast tissue on their chests. Many men will spend years in the gym trying to correct the problem but don’t realize it is actually a medical condition that requires surgery to correct. If you’ve been doing everything you can in the gym and still can’t get the flat chest and defined pecs you’re looking for, then you may very well have gynecomastia that will never resolve no matter how much you bench press.
Skin Tightening
Tightens and reshapes the upper arms by removing loose skin and fat, combining liposuction with a small incision in the armpit for a firmer, more sculpted appearance.
Mini Tummy Tuck
A great option for patients with a little bit of loose skin in the lower abdomen that is more than skin tightening can handle, but who otherwise have good muscle tone and minimal or no excess skin on the upper abdomen.
Mini Brachioplasty
Tightens and reshapes the upper arms by removing loose skin and fat, combining liposuction with a small incision in the armpit for a firmer, more sculpted appearance.

Surgery

To help ease any nerves, you’ll even choose the music playing in the operating room while Dr. Plant and his anesthesiologist guide you through the final steps. Once you’re comfortably under anesthesia, Dr. Plant will apply advanced contouring techniques tailored to your body and desired outcome. Whether that includes liposuction, skin tightening, or another sculpting approach, every detail is performed with precision to deliver a smooth, natural-looking result. His meticulous technique helps ensure a comfortable experience and beautifully refined outcome.
Results
After your body contouring procedure, you’ll begin to see your enhanced silhouette as swelling subsides and your body adjusts to its new contours.

Dr. Plant’s attention to detail ensures that your results look natural, enhance your body’s natural proportions, and give you a confidence-boosting transformation that aligns with your goals.

Body Contouring: Your Questions, Answered
View AllWhat is Body Contouring?
Do you offer body contouring for men?
Yes, Dr. Plant offers body contouring for men. Whether you’re looking to sculpt your abdomen, define your chest, or enhance your natural proportions, body contouring procedures can help achieve a more defined, masculine physique.
Men often seek body contouring to target stubborn fat, tighten loose skin, and refine body contours in areas like the abdomen, flanks, and love handles. Dr. Plant tailors each procedure to the unique anatomy and aesthetic goals of his male patients, ensuring natural-looking results that complement your body’s proportions.
Am I a good candidate for body contouring?
You may be a good candidate for body contouring if you’re in overall good health, have specific areas of your body where fat or skin has not responded to diet or exercise, and you have realistic expectations. Ideal candidates are typically within a healthy weight range but may have areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or arms that they’d like to contour for a more balanced, sculpted appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Plant will assess your goals and determine the best treatment plan for you.
How long does a body contouring procedure take?
The duration of body contouring depends on the specific procedures involved and the areas being treated. For example, liposuction may take 1 to 3 hours depending on how many areas are being addressed. Other procedures like skin tightening or non-invasive treatments may take less time. Dr. Plant will give you a personalized estimate based on your treatment plan.
What results can I expect from body contouring?
Body contouring enhances your body’s natural contours, delivering a more toned, defined, and proportionate appearance. Whether through fat removal, skin tightening, or other methods, you can expect a sculpted silhouette that looks and feels natural. Dr. Plant’s expertise ensures that your results enhance your body without overdoing it, leaving you with a refreshed, confident look that aligns with your goals.
How soon will I see results from body contouring?
You may notice initial improvements right after the procedure, but final results typically appear after the swelling subsides, usually within 1 to 3 months. The healing process is gradual, and as the body adjusts, the contours will refine over time. Dr. Plant’s expertise in shaping and sculpting ensures that you’ll see beautifully natural, balanced results that align with your expectations.
How long is the recovery period after body contouring?
Recovery from body contouring varies depending on the procedures involved, but most patients can return to light activities within a few days to a week. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common during the initial recovery period. Dr. Plant provides comprehensive aftercare instructions, including wearing compression garments to support the healing process, as well as follow-up visits to ensure optimal results. You’ll gradually resume normal activities as you heal, with the final contours becoming clearer in the weeks to come.
Are the results of body contouring permanent?
The results of body contouring are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While fat removed during liposuction is permanent, it’s important to note that weight fluctuations can affect your results over time. Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise routine will help preserve your sculpted silhouette for the long term.
Are there risks associated with body contouring?
As with any surgical procedure, body contouring carries some risks, such as infection, scarring, or changes in skin sensation. However, when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Plant, the risks are minimal.
Dr. Plant prioritizes patient safety and precision, using the most advanced techniques and protocols to minimize risks and promote optimal results. During your consultation, he will discuss any potential concerns and how they are managed, ensuring you feel fully informed and confident in your decision.
Does body contouring affect my ability to move or exercise post-op?
After body contouring, it’s normal to experience some temporary discomfort, swelling, and tightness, which can impact your mobility during the initial recovery period. While you’ll be able to resume light activities after a few days, you’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or activities that strain the treated areas for several weeks.
Dr. Plant will provide detailed recovery instructions to help you gradually return to your normal routine while ensuring that you protect your results. With proper care and following the recommended aftercare guidelines, you’ll be able to move more freely and comfortably as your body heals, and you’ll be able to enjoy the full benefits of your body contouring procedure.
How much does body contouring cost in Toronto?
The cost of body contouring varies based on the specific procedures performed, the areas treated, and the overall complexity of your treatment plan. Dr. Plant will provide you with a personalized estimate during your consultation, ensuring you understand the cost of your procedure and the value of the customized care you’ll receive.
Can I combine body contouring with other procedures?
Yes, body contouring can be combined with other procedures for a more comprehensive transformation. Many patients choose to pair body contouring with treatments like tummy tucks, breast augmentations, or facelifts for a full-body rejuvenation.
Dr. Plant customizes each surgical plan to ensure safe, natural-looking results while prioritizing your health and recovery. During your consultation, he will assess your goals and recommend the best approach to achieve your desired outcome safely and effectively.
