The Next Generation of Fat Reduction, Skin Tightening & Body Sculpting
At McKeown Medical, we offer some of the most advanced body contouring treatments available in Scotland, combining cutting-edge technologies to create highly refined, modern body sculpting results.
Our preferred approach combines:
This allows us to address:
- Stubborn fat
- Loose skin
- Tissue laxity
- Body shape and proportion
within a single comprehensive treatment approach.
We are proud to be the only clinic in Scotland currently combining these advanced technologies for modern body contouring procedures.
What Is Body Contouring?
Body contouring refers to treatments designed to improve:
- Shape
- Proportion
- Definition
- Skin firmness
- Overall body silhouette
Unlike weight loss treatments, body contouring focuses on refining and sculpting areas of the body where:
- Fat persists despite exercise
- Skin has become loose or stretched
- Body proportions feel out of balance
Modern body contouring treatments can dramatically improve:
- Waist definition
- Abdomen contour
- Arm shape
- Thigh contour
- Back and bra rolls
- Lower body silhouette
- Jawline and neck definition
Why Traditional Liposuction Is No Longer Enough
Historically, liposuction focused primarily on removing fat.
The problem is that removing fat alone does not necessarily tighten the skin.
This is why older liposuction techniques sometimes resulted in:
- Loose or sagging skin
- Poor contour transitions
- Residual tissue laxity
- Less refined body shaping
Modern body contouring now focuses on:
- Fat reduction
- Skin tightening
- Connective tissue contraction
- Overall contour refinement
This is why advanced combination treatments are increasingly regarded as the gold standard.
Our Advanced Body Contouring Technologies
Quantum RF Skin Tightening
Quantum RF is an advanced radiofrequency-assisted contouring technology designed to tighten connective tissue beneath the skin.
Using controlled radiofrequency energy, Quantum RF:
- Contracts collagen fibres
- Tightens loose skin
- Stimulates collagen remodelling
- Improves contour definition
This is particularly important in areas such as:
- Abdomen
- Waist
- Arms
- Inner thighs
- Neck and jawline
- Back and bra rolls
By combining fat reduction with RF skin tightening, we can often achieve a more refined and natural-looking result than liposuction alone.
Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction (UAL)
UAL uses ultrasound energy to emulsify and soften fat before removal.
Benefits include:
- More precise fat removal
- Less trauma to surrounding tissues
- Smoother contouring
- Improved treatment of dense or fibrous fat
Patients researching advanced liposuction often search for VASER liposuction. VASER is a well-known third-generation ultrasound-assisted liposuction platform.
At McKeown Medical, we use advanced Liposaver UAL technology as part of our body contouring platform.
Liposaver represents a newer generation of ultrasound-assisted contouring technology with additional real-time feedback and energy monitoring systems designed to support greater procedural control and safety.
Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
PAL uses a specialised vibrating cannula to improve precision during fat extraction.
Benefits include:
- Smoother contouring
- More accurate sculpting
- Reduced tissue trauma
- Improved treatment efficiency
PAL is particularly valuable for creating:
- Waist definition
- Athletic contouring
- Smoother transition zones
- Refined body sculpting
Why Combining Technologies Is the new Gold Standard
The best modern body contouring results come from addressing:
- Fat
- Skin
- Connective tissue
- Body proportions
By combining:
we can create:
- Better contour definition
- Improved skin tightening
- Smoother transitions
- More natural-looking results
This combination approach is increasingly regarded as the modern gold standard in advanced body contouring.

Areas Commonly Treated
Abdomen & Waist
Advanced body contouring can improve:
- Stubborn abdominal fat
- Love handles
- Waist definition
- Post-pregnancy contour changes
Treating the abdomen and flanks together often creates a far more balanced and sculpted silhouette.
Lipo 360
Lipo 360 refers to circumferential torso contouring, treating:
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Lower back
- Bra fat
to improve overall silhouette and body proportions.
Arms (“Bingo Wings”)
Body contouring can improve:
- Upper arm fullness
- Loose skin
- Crepey tissue
- Arm definition
particularly when Quantum RF is combined with advanced liposuction technologies.
Inner & Outer Thighs
Advanced thigh contouring can improve:
- Inner thigh rubbing
- Saddlebags
- Loose thigh skin
- Lower body contour
Back Fat & Bra Rolls
Advanced contouring can smooth:
- Bra bulges
- Upper back fullness
- Love handles
- Lower back fat
while also tightening loose skin.
Banana Roll
The “banana roll” beneath the buttocks can be treated using:
- Liposuction for excess fat
- Quantum RF for loose tissue tightening
to create a more refined lower body contour.
Male Body Contouring (“Dad Bod”)
UAL is particularly effective in male body contouring because male fat is often denser and more fibrous.
Treatment may include:
- Abdomen
- Waist
- Love handles
- Male chest contouring
Chin & Jawline
Advanced contouring can improve:
- Double chin fullness
- Jawline definition
- Loose neck tissue
particularly when combined with Quantum RF skin tightening.
Body Contouring After Weight Loss
Following major weight loss, many patients are left with:
- Loose skin
- Stubborn residual fat
- Loss of contour definition
Advanced body contouring can help improve:
- Shape
- Skin quality
- Body proportion
- Confidence in clothing and swimwear
For patients with severe skin excess, surgical procedures such as:
- tummy tuck
- arm lift
- thigh lift
may still be required.
However, many patients can now achieve excellent improvement using minimally invasive RF-assisted contouring technologies.
Performed Under IV Sedation
All procedures at McKeown Medical are performed under IV sedation delivered by a consultant anaesthetist.
This allows patients to:
- Sleep comfortably throughout treatment
- Wake rapidly afterwards
- Avoid many of the side effects associated with general anaesthetic
Patients are carefully monitored throughout in our fully regulated clinical environment.
Recovery After Body Contouring
Recovery varies depending on the areas treated and the extent of the procedure.
Most patients can expect:
- Swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks
- Compression garments for several weeks
- Return to light activities within days
- Progressive tightening and contour refinement over several months
As collagen remodelling continues following Quantum RF treatment, results often continue improving over time.

Common Questions
What is the best body contouring treatment?
This depends on:
- The amount of fat
- Skin laxity
- Tissue quality
- Your goals
For many patients, combining Quantum RF with UAL and PAL offers the most advanced minimally invasive option available.
Is body contouring the same as weight loss?
No. Body contouring is designed to improve shape and proportion rather than produce major weight reduction.
Will body contouring tighten loose skin?
Yes — particularly when Quantum RF skin tightening is combined with advanced liposuction technologies.
Is this the same as VASER liposuction?
We use advanced Liposaver UAL technology rather than the VASER platform, but both are forms of Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction.
