Exploring the full range of body surgeries available

Whether it’s the profound changes brought on by pregnancy, the dramatic transformation of significant weight loss, or simply the subtle shifts that come with the natural ageing process, our bodies often tell the story of the lives we’ve lived. While those stories are powerful and unique, they don’t always leave us feeling our best, either physically or emotionally. Body surgeries can help restore confidence.

At North Bristol Private Hospital, Elena offers a comprehensive range of body surgeries designed to restore your confidence and self of self, and enhance your natural beauty. Discover this range of surgeries below to learn more.

Body surgeries: more than just aesthetic

Body surgery is often misunderstood as purely cosmetic. But in reality, it’s a deeply transformative experience, one that can help people reconnect with their sense of self, address physical discomfort, and truly enjoy life with greater confidence and ease. 

Many patients seek body contouring after significant life events that have dramatically reshaped their figures. 

For example, after pregnancy, the skin and muscles of the abdomen may have stretched or changed permanently, leaving a persistent pouch that no amount of exercise can correct. Similarly, following major weight loss, loose or excess skin can prevent individuals from fully embracing and enjoying their incredible achievements, often causing chafing or discomfort. As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity, and we might begin to notice sagging or stubborn fat pockets in various areas. 

Whatever your reason, Elena takes a holistic, personalised approach to each consultation. You won’t find cookie-cutter procedures or pressure to fit into a narrow beauty ideal, just expert advice, complete transparency, and care tailored precisely to your needs and aspirations.

What appealed especially was the fact that Elena takes care of the detail. So many surgeons send their clients home on the same day as surgery. Not Elena. She ensures you are cared for overnight in the hospital and insists on the insertion of drains to minimise swelling and to aid the recovery process.

Mummy makeovers

One of the most popular and truly comprehensive body surgery packages Elena offers is the Mummy Makeover. This bespoke procedure combines multiple surgeries into one tailored session, often including a tummy tuck, a breast lift (which can also be combined with augmentation or reduction if needed), and liposuction. It’s specifically designed for women who want to address the lingering effects of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, all of which can dramatically change the shape of your body. 

For many women, this isn’t just about looking like their “old self” again; it’s profoundly about regaining control, feeling comfortable in clothes, and restoring confidence after years of tirelessly putting others first. Elena’s approach is incredibly empathetic and realistic. She’ll talk you through what’s genuinely possible, what recovery might look like, and how to perfectly tailor a mummy makeover to suit your unique body, lifestyle, and specific goals.

Tummy tucks and liposuction

Loose abdominal skin, separated muscles, and persistent fat around the midsection are incredibly common concerns, particularly after weight changes or pregnancy. Elena offers tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) to meticulously tighten weakened abdominal muscles and remove excess skin, creating a smoother and firmer midsection. This procedure can truly redefine the core of your body.

For patients looking to target specific, localised areas of stubborn fat, liposuction is also a highly effective option. Whether it’s the hips, thighs, arms, or stomach, liposuction can create more defined contours, especially when combined with other procedures or a healthy lifestyle. 

While both of these procedures clearly have cosmetic outcomes, they also often offer significant functional benefits. Patients frequently report improved posture, reduced back pain, and a greater freedom of movement following surgery, allowing them to engage more comfortably in daily activities.

Post-Weight Loss Surgery

Losing a significant amount of weight is an incredible, life-changing milestone. But it can also, unexpectedly, come with frustrating side effects, such as hanging skin and reduced skin tone that simply don’t match your new, healthier body shape. This is precisely where post-weight loss surgery comes in, offering the final step in your transformation.

Elena offers a comprehensive range of contouring body cosmetic surgeries specifically designed for patients who have achieved major weight loss. This can include body lifts, to address multiple areas at once, as well as specific procedures like arm lifts (brachioplasty) to address sagging upper arms, and thigh lifts to improve thigh contours. Tummy tucks are also often an integral part of this comprehensive reshaping. 

Genital Surgery

For some individuals, confidence issues may be related to more intimate areas of the body. Genital surgery can help address discomfort, asymmetry, or aesthetic concerns discreetly and respectfully. 

Elena offers labiaplasty and other genital procedures in a welcoming, judgment-free environment, with complete confidentiality and compassionate care at every step. This sensitive approach ensures you feel safe and supported in discussing your needs, leading to improved comfort and self-assurance.

Arm and thigh lifts

The arms and thighs are areas where skin can unfortunately lose its elasticity and begin to sag, often due to significant weight fluctuations or the natural ageing process. This can lead to a feeling of self-consciousness, making it difficult to feel comfortable in short sleeves or swimwear. Elena understands these concerns deeply, offering precise surgical solutions to restore a more toned and defined appearance to your limbs.

An arm lift (brachioplasty) specifically targets sagging skin on the upper arms, often affectionately referred to as ‘bat wings’. By carefully removing excess skin and sculpting the underlying tissue, Elena can restore a smoother, more contoured silhouette that complements your overall figure. This can mean feeling more confident in sleeveless tops or simply more comfortable with the natural movement of your arms. 

Similarly, a thigh lift is designed to improve the tone and definition of the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure is particularly beneficial after substantial weight loss to achieve smoother, firmer contours that enhance your natural shape and can significantly improve comfort and mobility. 

Both procedures focus on creating results that look natural and proportionate to your body, giving you back a sense of confidence in these often-exposed areas.

Combining Body Surgeries

It’s also worth noting that you don’t necessarily need to limit your treatment plan to just body procedures. Many of Elena’s patients choose to combine facial surgeries, such as a facelift or neck lift, with body surgeries for a more comprehensive and harmonious transformation. This holistic approach can often be more efficient, potentially saving on overall recovery time and helping to achieve a beautifully balanced appearance that truly makes you feel fantastic from head to toe.
