Post-Weight Loss

No one’s journey (or goals) are exactly the same.

Your surgeon and team are here to understand your journey and help you create a custom surgical plan that achieves your unique goals.

Skin Tightening & Removal
Loose skin is common after weight loss. Tummy tucks, thigh lifts, and arm lifts are safe and effective ways to tighten the skin.
Breast Restoration
Restore volume with implants, add shape with a lift, or reduce the size. Breast surgeries are customizable to your goals.
Proportion & Shape
Liposuction permanently removes fat and is a great way to address proportion and overall shape.

Skin Removal Procedures

Think of plastic surgery as a tool.

You can’t diet and exercise away loose skin—that’s where skin removal can help.
Here are some common cosmetic procedures after weight loss:

Extended Tummy Tuck

Reshapes the abdomen by removing extra skin, repairing abdominal muscle separation, and slimming the waistline with liposuction.

Liposuction

A tremendously useful tool, used in every other operation on this list or by itself, to augment natural shapes.

Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck

Reshapes the abdomen and waistline with removal of lots of excess skin from side to side and up and down, repairs abdominal muscle separation, and includes liposuction of the abdomen and waistline. The pattern of the skin removal looks kind of like the French symbol with the same name.

Breast Reduction

Lightens and lifts the breast, making it smaller and perkier. Breast reduction almost always benefits from and includes bra line liposuction for better shape and contour.

Breast Lift

Reshapes and lifts the breast by removing loose skin and tightening the breast tissue. Your breast can stay roughly the same size or this can be used to make the breast a little smaller. Often includes liposuction of the bra line to add shape.

Lower Body Lift

Lifts and tightens loose and sagging skin around the buttocks, thighs and back of the legs after the tummy tuck has had time to heal.

Arm Lift

Reshapes the arm by removing excess skin and fat from the arms to show the muscles you have built underneath.

Thigh Lift

Reshapes the legs by removing excess skin and fat from the inner thighs.

Recovery Time

What's the recovery time?

Recovery and downtime depend on the procedure(s) you choose, but for most skin removal surgeries you can expect around 10-14 days of downtime with 6 weeks of lifting and submerging in water restrictions. Results for many skin removal procedures are typically around 12 months post-op.
