Body procedures.
Body surgery consultations at KPAS provide an opportunity to discuss concerns involving the abdomen, arms, thighs or other areas affected by changes in body contour. The procedure being considered depends on the area of concern, individual circumstances and the findings of a clinical assessment.
At Kings Park Aesthetic Surgery, your consultation includes time to discuss your goals, the options that may be relevant and the care involved.
Body Surgery at KPAS
Body procedures may involve skin, underlying tissues or localised fat in different anatomical areas. Skin excess and fat distribution are separate considerations and may require different approaches.
A consultation considers the area of concern, medical history, previous surgery and relevant weight changes. Suitability and the scope of treatment are determined through clinical assessment.

Explore procedureUnderstanding the Areas Being Assessed
Abdominal area
Assessment may consider skin, underlying tissues and previous surgery. Abdominoplasty and liposuction have different purposes and are not substitutes for one another.
Arms and thighs
The location of excess skin or tissue, the proposed incision and the expected scars are discussed in relation to the area being treated.
After weight change
Changes affecting several areas may require separate discussions. Planning considers health, recovery requirements and whether treatment should be staged.
These areas provide a starting point for discussion, not a diagnosis or a recommendation for surgery. Individual assessment comes first.
Your Body Surgery Consultation
Individual Assessment Comes First
A consultation is the right place to discuss your concerns, available options and whether a procedure may be appropriate for you.
Physical assessment and discussion may consider:
- the anatomical area causing concern
- skin and underlying tissue characteristics
- relevant weight changes and stability
- previous surgery and existing scars
- general health and recovery support
- options, limitations and procedure-specific risks
Ask your surgeon about alternatives, recovery, expected scars and possible complications before deciding whether to proceed.

Individual Planning and Staged Treatment
The number of areas discussed at consultation does not determine how many should be treated. Your surgeon will explain which procedures may be relevant and whether separate stages should be considered.
Planning includes the extent of surgery, scars, recovery support and individual risk factors. Body surgery should not be regarded as a substitute for weight management.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery depends on the area treated, the extent of surgery and individual circumstances. Ask about mobility, wound care, support garments where prescribed, lifting, exercise and returning to work.
Practical support at home may be needed. Follow the treating team’s instructions and attend planned reviews rather than relying on general recovery estimates.
Read About Recovery & AftercareRisks and Informed Consent
All surgery carries risks. The relevant risks depend on the operation, your health and the tissues being treated.
Ask about complications, limitations, alternatives and the possibility of further treatment. The consent discussion should address the particular procedure and your individual circumstances.

Which procedures are listed on this page?
Abdominoplasty, liposuction, post-weight-loss body contouring, arm lift and thigh lift are currently listed. Each procedure addresses different tissues or areas.
Do I need to choose a procedure before consultation?
No. You can begin with an area of concern or questions. Assessment is needed to discuss which options, if any, may be appropriate.
Can more than one body area be treated?
Several areas can be discussed at consultation, but treatment of multiple areas is not appropriate for every patient. The surgeon will discuss the scope of surgery, individual risks and whether staged treatment may be considered.
How long will recovery take?
Recovery depends on the operation, its extent and individual healing. Ask about care at home, activity restrictions, work and the review schedule for the procedure being considered.
Who should I consult at KPAS?
Review Dr Robert Owen’s and Dr Peter Meier’s profiles and the procedures they consult for. The KPAS team can help with administrative questions; clinical suitability is assessed by the consulting surgeon.
Can before-and-after photographs predict my result?
No. Case photographs illustrate individual outcomes and do not guarantee a similar result for another patient. Anatomy, the procedure and healing differ.
