BODY PROCEDURES

WHO ARE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY?

Weight loss surgery is a transformative procedure designed to contour and reshape the body after significant weight loss, either through bariatric surgery or other means. Good candidates for weight loss surgery by plastic surgeons are individuals who have achieved significant weight loss but are left with excess skin and tissue that detracts from their new body contours. Candidates should be in good overall health, have reached a stable weight, and have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure. Whether you've undergone bariatric surgery or achieved weight loss through diet and exercise, weight loss surgery by plastic surgeons can help you achieve a more proportionate and toned body silhouette by removing excess skin and tissue.

THE PROCEDURE

Weight loss surgery performed by plastic surgeons typically involves procedures such as body contouring, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), arm lift (brachioplasty), thigh lift, and breast lift or reduction. During these procedures, our skilled plastic surgeon will carefully remove excess skin and tissue from specific areas of the body to create a smoother, firmer, and more contoured appearance. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, and advanced surgical techniques are employed to achieve natural-looking results that complement your new body shape. Our goal is to enhance your body contours, improve skin laxity, and restore a more youthful and toned appearance following significant weight loss, helping you feel more comfortable and confident in your new body.

EXPECTED RESULTS AND RECOVERY

Following weight loss surgery performed by plastic surgeons, patients can expect to see a significant improvement in the appearance of their body contours, with smoother skin, reduced sagging, and enhanced definition. While individual results may vary, many patients experience a dramatic enhancement in their overall body aesthetics and self-confidence. During the recovery period, temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common and can be managed with prescribed medication and proper post-operative care. Patients are advised to follow all post-operative instructions diligently, including wearing compression garments, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments for optimal healing and results. As the body heals and swelling subsides, patients will notice continued improvement in their body contours, with final results becoming more apparent over time, helping them embrace their new body shape and enjoy the benefits of their weight loss journey to the fullest.
