About Body Contouring

Body contouring brings together a group of procedures aimed at improving the shape and proportion of areas that have not responded to diet, exercise, pregnancy, or significant weight loss. For many patients, these are the finishing steps after years of effort, and Dr. Gideon Maresky approaches them with the same care he gives any major operation. As a US Board Certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon based at Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital in Cape Town, he combines well-established techniques with the safety of a full hospital setting.

The practice offers tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to address loose abdominal skin and weakened muscle after pregnancy or weight change, liposuction to refine localised pockets of stubborn fat, and the mommy makeover combination that often brings these together. For patients after major weight loss, body lift, arm lift (brachioplasty), and thigh lift procedures can address the loose skin that lifestyle alone cannot reach. Fat transfer is available where volume restoration is the goal, and labiaplasty is performed for both functional and aesthetic concerns.

Body contouring Cape Town patients often weigh up several procedures at once, and Dr. Maresky will help you sequence them sensibly with your recovery, work, and family life in mind. Honest counselling is part of the consultation: not every patient is a candidate for every operation, and a clear conversation up front saves disappointment later.

If you are ready to discuss your goals, a consultation is the natural starting point and gives you the information you need to make an unhurried decision.
