Why Body Contouring in Toronto is Your Best Choice
If you’ve been working hard on your fitness and eating right but are still struggling with areas that just won’t budge, body contouring surgery might be the solution you’ve been looking for. You’re not alone. The number of body contouring surgeries performed rose nearly 6% in 2023, reflecting how many people are turning to surgery for that extra help in achieving their ideal shape.
Body contouring is a surgical approach to sculpt and reshape targeted body areas, like the abdomen, thighs, arms, or flanks, by removing excess fat and skin. It’s especially popular among those who’ve experienced significant weight loss or want to refine their silhouette beyond what diet and exercise can achieve.
Every procedure is personalized to fit your goals and proportions at McRae Plastic Surgery. Whether you’re looking for smoother curves or a more defined shape, Dr. McRae and his experienced team are here to guide you.
The demand for body contouring in Canada is also growing rapidly. The market generated USD 74.6 million in 2022 and is expected to nearly triple by 2030. With more people choosing this option each year, it’s clear that confidence in surgical body sculpting is on the rise.

Who is Body Contouring Candidate?
Body contouring surgery is ideal for people who are generally comfortable with their weight but want to refine specific areas that aren’t responding to diet or exercise. If any of these sound familiar, you might be a great candidate:
Stubborn Fat That Won’t Go Away: Even with a healthy lifestyle, some areas—like the lower belly, thighs, love handles, or upper arms—can hold on to fat. Body contouring can help sculpt and define these spots.
Loose or Sagging Skin: Whether it’s from weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, excess skin can make you feel self-conscious. Surgery can remove that loose skin and restore smoother contours.
Uneven Body Shape: If one part of your body seems to carry more fat and throws off your proportions, body contouring can create better balance and harmony in your figure.
Post-Pregnancy Changes: If your body hasn’t bounced back after childbirth and you’re dealing with stretched skin or muscle separation, contouring can help you feel like yourself again.
What Type of Body Contouring Do You Need?
When it comes to reshaping your body, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and that’s exactly why Dr. McRae offers several body contouring options based on your specific needs and goals. He’ll guide you toward the procedure that’s right for you.
- If your upper body is your concern
Dr. McRae may recommend an Upper Body Lift to tighten sagging skin around the chest, breasts, or upper back—especially helpful if you’ve lost a significant amount of weight. - Want to reshape your lower half?
A Lower Body Lift (also called a belt lipectomy) focuses on the hips, thighs, buttocks, and lower abdomen—removing extra skin and creating smoother, more balanced contours. - Struggling with loose skin on your arms?
A Brachioplasty, or arm lift, is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, leaving you with a firmer, more toned look. - Have folds or sagging around your bra line?
A Bra Line Lift helps smooth and tighten the upper back by removing skin along the bra strap area—perfect for a sleeker profile under clothing. - Looking to define your waist and flatten your tummy?
With an Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), Dr. McRae can tighten your abdominal muscles and remove loose skin to give you a firmer, more sculpted midsection.

Stages of the Body Contouring Surgical Process
Pre-Surgical Preparation
After your initial consultation with Dr. McRae, you'll undergo a series of preparatory steps including medical evaluations and adjustments to your medications or lifestyle as needed.
Anesthesia
On the day of the surgery, you will be administered anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The type of anesthesia used will depend on the extent of the surgery and will be determined by your anesthesiologist.
Surgical Procedure
During the surgery, various targeted procedures are performed under anesthesia. Dr. McRae works according to the pre-planned strategy.
Monitor and Initial Recovery
Immediately following the surgery, you will be taken to a recovery area where your health and vitals will be closely monitored. This is to ensure that there are no immediate complications and that you are responding well to the surgery.
Post-Surgical Care
Once stabilized, you will be given detailed instructions for post-surgical care, including how to care for incisions, manage pain, and recognize potential signs of complications.
Follow-Up Visits
Scheduled follow-up visits with your surgeon are essential to monitor your healing and the results of the surgery. These visits allow Dr. McRae to assess the progress of your recovery and make any necessary adjustments to your post-operative care plan.

-
3-4 Weeks Before Surgery: Medical Evaluation and Lab Tests

-
2 Weeks Before Surgery: Medication Review
Review any current medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, with Dr. McRae. Certain medications may need to be adjusted or paused for optimal safety during surgery. - 1 Week Before Surgery: Prepare Your Home Set up a cozy recovery space at home. Stock up on essentials—think ice packs, loose clothing, and easy-to-access meals. This setup helps minimize the need to stretch or bend post-surgery.

First Few Weeks: Wear Compression Garments
Wear the compression garments as directed by Dr. McRae. These garments support your new contours and help reduce swelling, so it’s essential to wear them for the recommended duration. -
4-6 Weeks: Activity Restrictions
Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for four to six weeks. Dr. McRae will guide you on when to slowly increase activity based on how your body is healing. -
