body contour

Shape of form

Body contour refers to the outline or shape of the human body, particularly its curves and proportions.

In medicine and cosmetic surgery, body contouring describes procedures that reshape areas of the body—removing excess skin after weight loss, sculpting fat deposits, or tightening tissue: She considered body contouring after losing a hundred pounds.

The term also appears in fashion and fitness contexts where silhouette matters.
