Body Contouring after Major Weight Loss

Body after Weight Loss

There is no question that losing a significant amount of weight is one of the best things you can do to improve both your physical image and your mental confidence. However, regardless of how you’ve lost a lot of weight, be it proper nutrition and exercise, bariatric surgery,  or other forms of medical treatment has many benefits. However, once you reach your weight loss goals you may find you still not achieved your desired look. Skin may be loose, even sagging in many cases, your body contours may appear irregular, even disharmonious.

If you have undergone dramatic weight loss that has resulted in excess sagging skin, surgical body contouring may be right for you. In general, body contouring following major weight loss reduces excess fat and skin that has developed in multiple areas of the body. The result of surgery is a smoother, more attractive body contour. Body contouring after major weight loss is an important and rewarding phase of your challenge to have a healthier, more proportionate body, and can help you further enhance your body image and self confidence.

Body contouring procedures may include:

• Facelift: sagging of the mid-face, jowls, and neck


• Breast lift: sagging, flattened breasts


• Tummy tuck: apron of excess skin hanging over the abdomen


• Lower body lifts: sagging of the abdomen, buttocks, groin and outer thighs


• Medial thigh lift: sagging of the inner, outer and mid thigh


• Brachioplasty (arm lift): sagging of the upper arms

On the website, smart beauty guide, you can read a lot more about body contouring after weight loss, but perhaps the more important things to consider are when you would want to have this surgery performed.

 

When to Consider Plastic Surgery after Dramatic Weight Loss

• If you have experienced dramatic weight loss from bariatric surgery or diet and exercise.


• If you have sagging skin in multiple areas, including the face and neck, breasts, arms, abdomen, back and thighs.


• If your weight has stabilized following bariatric surgery or diet and exercise. This may be 18 months or more after your weight loss.
