Plastic surgeon Dr Ben Khoda is one of the UK’s leading authorities in body contouring procedures and the expert to consult for a naturally sculpted silhouette

Few of us can resist the idea of feeling more confident in our own skin. Whether it’s addressing stubborn pockets of fat, reshaping specific areas, or tightening loose skin, body contouring treatments can transform not just our appearance, but also the way we carry ourselves.

Dr Khoda knows this better than most. A highly regarded plastic surgeon with extensive experience in the UK and internationally, he specialises in bespoke body contouring procedures tailored to each patient’s anatomy, lifestyle and goals. His approach combines surgical precision with an artistic eye, creating results that look natural, proportionate and elegant.

From brides seeking a lengha-ready figure to grooms wanting confidence in tailored suits, Dr Khoda’s treatments are designed to enhance the body while preserving individuality, focusing on subtle results that feel like the best version of oneself.

Meet the Surgeon
Dr Ben Khoda is a British trained plastic surgeon with a Certificate of Completion of Specialist Training from the Royal College of Surgeons. He trained across the UK and Sweden, including a cosmetic surgery fellowship at Stockholm’s renowned Akademikliniken. He regularly publishes in peer-reviewed journals to stay at the forefront of his field. Known for his meticulous approach, Dr Khoda consults and operates from respected hospitals and clinics across the UK, including The Welbeck Hospital in London, Nottingham Clinic, Burcot Hall in Bromsgrove, Leeds Clinic and Pines Hospital in Manchester.

Bespoke Breast Contouring
For many brides, it’s not about changing their figure but fine-tuning it. Small adjustments can help a gown sit perfectly or restore balance where it’s needed. Dr Khoda offers a full range of options, from breast augmentation and lifts, using the latest implants and techniques, to correcting asymmetry or fixing inverted nipples. Fat transfer is particularly popular for those who want softer shaping using their own tissue rather than implants, for a more natural result. Subtle augmentation can bring harmony to uneven breasts without looking artificial, while all of these options can have a profound impact on confidence, helping women feel comfortable in their dress, lingerie, swimwear and everyday life. As one patient reflected, “Dr Khoda is a knowledgeable surgeon who produced fantastic results. Absolutely changed my life.”

Body Contouring for the Perfect Fit
Dr Khoda also has a particular interest in body contouring procedures such as tummy tucks, thigh lifts, arm lifts and liposuction. “These treatments can help brides feel more comfortable in their wedding dress by addressing areas that may have changed over time,” he explains. “The goal is never to create a dramatic transformation, but to restore proportion and balance so the body feels like itself again.”

Grooms are supported too. Gynaecomastia correction reduces enlarged male breast tissue and can make a real difference to confidence. “Whether it’s feeling at ease in a fitted suit or relaxed on the beach, every treatment is tailored to the individual,” says Dr Khoda.

Personalised Care for Every Patient
What sets Dr Khoda apart is the way he combines technical expertise with a calm, reassuring presence. Patients consistently remark on how safe they feel in his care, often citing his personable manner and meticulous attention to detail. One patient said: “I can’t thank Ben Khodaenough for the exceptional care. He is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about his patients. From the first consultation to post-operative follow-ups, he ensured I was informed and comfortable every step of the way. I felt at ease knowing I was in such capable hands.”

This emphasis on trust and communication underpins his approach. “What matters to me most is understanding each patient’s goals and delivering personalised care with safety at the centre,” he explains. “It’s about leaving patients feeling confident and comfortable , not just on the wedding day but long afterwards too.”

Consultations are tailored, time lines are carefully planned to ensure recovery is complete in time for the big day and extended aftercare for up to two years provides additional reassurance.

Surgery Tips from Dr Ben Khoda
• Plan ahead – aim for surgery six to twelve months before the wedding to allow for full recovery.
• Ask questions and discuss your goals and expectations thoroughly with your surgeon.
• Choose a surgeon who is registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) – this means they are licensed and regulated to practise medicine safely and listed on the specialist register for plastic surgery. Membership of BAAPS (the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons)or BAPRAS (the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons) shows they meet high professional and ethical standards. They should also be practising in a CQC-registered clinic or hospital – this ensures the highest levels of safety and care.
